Elizabeth,
I am so sorry for your loss. We will miss Sammy. I know how much you are hurting right now, and if I can help you in any way, please let me know. Sammy is now running free and out of pain.

I know that today will be one of the hardest for you but know that we are all thinking of you and Sammy. Keep an eye on Titan because he will probably grieve too. I am here if you need me,

Elizabeth, I can't say any more than I already have. I'm so thankful that I got to meet you and Sammy, and that I was fortunate enough to spend time with him. He was a wonderful boy, and I know you must be crushed.
I'm so very, very sorry.

Elizabeth, my heart and many hugs go out to you. So sorry that Sammy is gone. I know how shattering it feels. You have been in my thoughts all week. We are here for you.
Geraldine, Spirit Jewels' Mom
Jewels was a gorgeous Lab-Shep mix that found us at the pet rescue when she was just 3 months old. Born June 2000; Diagnosed OSA on June 1, 2011; L-front Amputation September 12, 2011; Crossed Rainbow Bridge December 30, 2011. My "baby dog" will always be in my heart. Now she is running fast and free on all four legs after the rabbits and squirrels! Jewels was loved by her crazy-busy mom, even-keeled dad, pesky twin human brothers and monkeydog sister Aspen.

I am so sorry for your loss. I love that you said Sammy wanted you to keep fighting with him right until the very end. If only we humans could have half the sence our wonderful babies have! He was very lucky to have you as his mommy.

Oh, I just saw Sammy's banner, too! It's wonderful, just like Sammy!
Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!

Admin,
You took two of my favorite pic's and put them together, it is perfect. It took me clicking about 50 times before I saw him, but I am so glad you used the pictures you did.
Thank you everyone, your kindess means the world to me. It is so quiet around here. It is the first night home after work and no growling and thumping when I walked in. Thank you for giving me a place to turn.
