QuoteRene, such kind and thoughtful words of wisdom.
This was truly one of the 'sucky' weeks for the tripawd family. By nature, by design, the community will forever evolve. There will always be the new guys coming on and the current guys willing to give them the support they need and help them through the bumps in the road. And there will always be us old timers who sometimes cannot be here in person because of the pain, but will always be here in heart and spirit.
This will always be home for me, regardless of the turmoil that may keep me from posting the way I once did.
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.We honor our fellow November Five members who will always remain forever in my heart: Nova – the lone survivor, live proud and long; Spirits Max, Cherry, & Tika – who made half the journey with us and greeted Trouble at the Bridge

I too send all my warm thoughts and hugs for all that have had heart break – it's never easy whether it be last week or last year etc. These past few weeks though have made it even more clear that we need to live in the moment with Sam for we do not know what tomorrow brings. Thank you to all our warriors and families for your willingness to share and guide us on our journeys – we couldn't do it without you! xoxo Sue and Sammy

What with my own grief – and the fact that I wasn't up to going onto the site for a couple of days – I didn't realize how many of us are suffering the loss this week. I recall last January (I think) when so many left for the bridge within such a short time and how shocking it was. I never imagined my Sylvie would have so much company when she passed. Well, they ARE pack animals, aren't they? 
Just think how our loved ones will not have to play alone at the bridge – - They have each other and have experienced the sweetest love ever given from their pawrents.
While I'm not happy to respond to so many stories of loss it has helped me weather my own, and will continue to do so in the future. Thank God for this site. I have encouraged Sylvie's oncologist to let other tripawd cancer pawrents know about tripawds.com and I'll be making it my cause – to let others know it's out here for us.
Micki – I'm not sure what the walk is that you'll be doing, but I thank you on behalf of my Sweet Sylvia for the idea of the banner. It helps to know that her name will take it's place among other brave pups!

Yep, it has been a really yucky couple of days here at Tripawds. I didn't log on all weekend, so have been catching up now – and I can't believe the number of losses.
To those of you that have recently suffered a loss – take time to grieve, and take care of yourself. Honor your pup, and cry as much as you need to. If you can't handle coming here to Tripawds for awhile, don't sweat it. Many others take time off. In the past, I have had my periods of taking a break from here, and it's been 17 months since I lost Skyler & 7 months since Chloe. The pain isn't as raw, but it is still there.
Please know that we are all here for you. We get it about your pup….we get you. We're family now…and always.
Sending all of you many, many golden hugs!

I am so grateful for this community and the outpouring of support I received at the beginning of Chili Dawg's battle with cancer as well as at the end. I want to be there to help others, just like I had people for me. It is already frightening enough, but to have to go through it alone would be much worse. This community is like a family, and even though I no longer have a tripawd, I feel like I still belong :-) Thank you, Jim & Rene, for giving us a place like this, and thank you, Micki for putting the Chili Dawg's name on your banner- that meant a lot to me.
