I recently donated, I just have to figure out how to post pics of Zeus with a short bio...
DEB!!!! DEB!!!! Pay attention! See what Lori and the Admin Guy just posted? If that isn't n the first sign from Zeus, I don't know what is!!!!!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Lol! Yes Sally! Im getting it now, I was out and about yesterday and the car next to me had the license plate "Zeuses". Yes thats a sign because Lori didnt know what the dogs name was in the pic, Admin did!
Hi Baby Zeus!Â

OMD!!!!!!!! Those are BOTH awesome signs!!!!! I can't imagine any better ones! (What are the odds you'd see that name on a license plate???) Someone is definitely trying to get through to you!!! WOW!
OMD! Â Zeus is definitely a busy boy in sending you signs! Â He's not even sending subtle ones he's sending "here I am in your face" ones.
WOW!

Deb we are SO grateful for your generosity! Thank you sooo much.
We emailed you with a request for those things. We will post them on our Tripawds Foundation blog, all you need to do is reply to the email with the photo and words. Let me know if you need us to resend it OK?

Wow! I did not even see that picture here. I think it was on Facebook. I liked it and saved it. Â No, I sure did not know his name was Zeus. Was just guessing he was a Tripawd. Amazing way to let your Mom know you are doing ok at the Bridge Zeus boy. Aaaaaamaaaaazing! Lori, Ty and Gang
TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed  and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.Â
OMD!! I have goosebumps ... I made that image for Zeus' mom back in 2009! I made it into a decal and put it on a 7 day novena candle for her. I can't believe the synchronicity here (Lori, NOT random at ALL!) and I am so happy that it helped bring solace to another Zeus' mom!  And Deb it is definitely a sign, along with the license plate (!) that that your Zeus is surrounding you with his love.Â

Thanks everyone for the validation. I've been praying he comes to me and I so believe in novenas, signs from above etc...
Im on my computer tonight trying to troubleshoot various problems Im having with an old computer and VIOLA! I find a picture of Zeus, I've never seen and don't remember taking, when he was so healthy and handsome! He's looking straight at the camera has to say "Hi Mommy, Im healthy again"! Tears, its been two weeks tonight. I love you my bear...
And you found it tonight? At two weeks as an Angel? You believe in Novenas? Oh yeah, Zeus is feeling fine and having a ball sending you messages!! Bears? Look around for signs of Bears. Don't know why, but that image came to me!
Yes indeedy Codie Rae, those Tripawds work in mysterious ways!
We're all still right nere with you Deb. We know it still hurts so badly.

Im having the worst day/night. I cant believe my boy is gone. Can hardly breathe...
Deb, it's really ok to have a bad day and not be able to breathe, it is hard to find any comfort this soon into your terrible heartbreak. I, and we, know what you are feeling, and it hurts, it hurts worse than just about anything in your life. Let the tears come anytime they are there, until you seemingly can't cry anymore..... I used to, and sometimes still do even 2years later, grab something that was my Polly's, and just hold on to it, close to my heart, do the same with Zeus's beloved toys, or blanket, or whatever you can hold onto, until you feel stronger. I used to sleep every night holding onto a coat I made for my Polly after she left me, and sometimes I still do, it always makes me feel close to her.
We are here for you, and to listen to all you are feeling right now, we know it is so very difficult..... Just hang in there, and I am sending healing {{{hugs}}} to help you through...... 💜

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I know exactly what you're going through, and it's hell--the worst pain ever. I have lost several heart-and-soul dogs, and each loss has been incredibly painful. The worst was when I did something a vet told me to do (administered a drug, etc.), and it took the life of my dog. (This has actually happened to me twice, with two different vets!) You can imagine the guilt I went through, as well as the grief and loss.
I'm wondering if there's a veterinary hospital near you that offers grief counseling or a pet loss support group. There's a full-time grief counselor on staff at K-State (free for all clients), and I may need to utilize that service when the time comes. I wish so much I'd done so when my second Yorkie died under tragic circumstances.
You might be able to find something like this in your area. They're getting more frequent all the time.
Hang in there! It does get better. And sometimes crying does help.
