Dear Hope's Family,

My heart is truly saddened to hear of sweet Hope passing. I know it must be such a shock to you. I'm a bit speechless since I thought Hope was doing so well. I'm so sorry. Doggie heaven got another beautiful golden today.

My sincerest condolences,

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Hope was a beautiful girl. There aren't any words to fill the empty place in your heart, but I hope the memories of your time together are a comfort.

You will all be in our thoughts.

I also commented on the blog, but wanted to add a little more here. Just so shocked to see that sad news when I visited the site today.

May you remember her with more smiles than tears sooner that you think will be possible.

Virtual hugs and healing Abby kisses,

Jackie, Abby's mom

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.

I also posted a note on your blog, and like others want to express my sorrow for your loss here in the forums. I didnt get to meet Hope so to speak, the posts I did see on the forums from her recently had shown me what a wonderful dog she was, and what a valued member of the Tripawds community. Rest in peace Hope and run free at the bridge…
