As I mentioned on my blog, Gracie did not get the chance to try being a "tripawd" she just could not recover from the surgery last night.  I know things happen for a reason and I am sure this was for the best. I can not believe the amount of support I have received already from this group.  I just signed up last night as Gracie was having her surgery.  So unfortunate I did not get the chance to tell a wonderful "tripawd" story.  

That is just so terrible!!! So very sorry that this happened to your Gracie. 

Oh Gracie's mom………….I have chills.  Something happened today that, when I saw your title of your post (Sweet Gracie), it stopped me in my tracks.  I think your girl might have used me to get a loving a message to you.

I had gone to pick up some dog treats for my furherd here…..there were some new, reasonably priced ones and they were called *Sweet Gracie's Treats*.  I too had a Gracie…..a beautiful, blind golden retriever who I lost to cancer and of course, I had to buy them.  But there was this strange feeling, for the lack of a better what to explain it, that there was more to this than just the name.

I hope it doesn't upset you but instead gives you some comfort that your girl is safe and sound at the Bridge, and amongst friends until you are reunited and never apart again.

And now I'm crying……….Godspeed to your sweet Gracie.  Run fast, play hard.  See you on the Other Side, little one.

I am so sorry to hear about Gracie, but you are a member of the family, so we all hurt and will help, no matter how long you have been here, Our thoughts are with you, Spirit Gus and Dan

I posted on your blog, but also wanted to send along some support over here. I hate that your sweet Gracie had to go this way. It's bad enough when we find out our sweet pups have cancer. That is already "not fair enough." I hope you can find some peace in knowing you were truly doing what was in her best interest. Try to focus on all the love she gave you and that you gave her rather than on the end.

Hope you are managing ok and that you will some day, sooner than you think, be able to remember her with more smiles than tears.

Run free, sweet Gracie!
Jackie, Abby's mom

Oh my goodness, we are all so sorry for your loss of Sweet Gracie

Please know you made a wonderful decision for Gracie in trying to saver her life.  God had other plans for her.  She is now pain free, safe and running free with all of the tripawd babies whom have made the trip to the Bridge…

I will keep you in my prayers

I posted on your blog, as well, but I wanted to just say again we are so very sorry that we didn't get a chance to really know Gracie as a Tripawd. And we are so very heartbroken that you didn't get a chance to really say good-bye. She will be in your heart forever…

You are in our thoughts tonight.
