I just saw this on Facebook and I am stunned. I thought Rumbles would be here forever. I fell in love with him 1) because he was a Boxer (Finchys brother from another mother if you will-they shared a lot of boxer traits), but what REALLY put me over the moon for him was his avatar wearing the football helmet. That just made me laugh. I loved the story of how you rescued both Rumbles and Punch and I know they are both together now. I know Finchy found Rumbles as well and they are jellybeaning together. Hopefully Rumbles will teach him how to roll on his back as well. I know how much this hurts. Our pain starts just as theirs ends. We are here for you.

Chili Dawg crossed the Rainbow Bridge on 8/30/2011 & is now pain free. He was my heart dog, and I miss him every day.

Franklin, he was the Happiest Dog on Three Legs! Diagnosed 09/26/2012 with Osteosarcoma, amputated 12/4/2012.  Had a wonderful 5 1/2 months painfree until he ran for the Bridge on 5/15/2013.  Always in my heart, and always a guardian angel of my pack...   You can follow his Tripawd Adventures, before and after, in my blog, Frank'n'Farter!

Rebecca, it hurts my soul to see this. Rumbles is a special boy, so beautiful, so strong.  May your sadness soon be replaced with only happy Rumbles memories.

RIP sweet Rumbles.  Run Free at Rainbow Bridge.

I fell in love with your pup from his avatar photo, too.  So much love, fun, humor, and devotion in that picture.  I'm so sorry for your loss, but it sounds like you were able to give him the sweetest gift of all at the end.  Run free and fast, dear Rumbles!  We'll miss you, buddy.

~ Katy

ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12.  Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ!  No side effects.  We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments.  He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors!  Our love. Our funny little guy!

Oh Rumbles, I am so sorry that your journey has ended.  Just like everyone else, I fell in love with you the first time I saw your photo.  You can tell from the photo you had such a huge personality.  My heart breaks each and every time I read that another doggie has passed over. 

Hold the memories close to your heart.  When the tears start to flow, take hold of one of those memories and it will fill help ease the pain your heart is feeling.

Saying goodbye is so very hard.  As time passes the pain does ease, but Sampson will always be a part of your life, because he left a huge imprint on it, and in your heart.

Sampson, you run free over that Bridge and make sure to always watch over Mommy. 

“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace.” ― Milan Kundera
