I'm so sorry you had to let Sally go. Take comfort in the fact that she is happy and pain free, waiting for you on the Rainbow bridge. My heart hurts for you.

Barret was diagnosed with Hemangiopericytoma May 16, 2013. Front left leg/scapula/pectoral muscle was amputated on June 11, 2013 and we've never looked back. Follow our story on http://barret.t.....pawds.com/ and read my column on That Pet Blog

Ohhhhh I'm so sorry, I was so hoping it was something else.
I know how much this hurts, and how much she will be missed. She was obviously loved so much by your family, what a lucky girl to have had you taking such loving care of her.
Please accept my deepest condolences, I'm so very sorry. If you'd like to share her story and some photos with us, please feel free to do so in Coping with Loss; talking about our loved ones can really help after saying goodbye.

I'm sorry you had to let Sallie go. Even though you haven't been here long, you and Sallie will forever be part of our Tripawd family.
Sallie will always be in your heart, and so will always be by your side.

You have my deepest condolences. It sounds like you did everything you could to give Sallie a fighting chance.
Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury. Her amp was on 10/1/12. She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera. We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.
You can read their stories at http://adelaide.tripawds.com and http://brendol.tripawds.com

You did all you could. No regrets. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Liberty (Libby) was diagnosed with OSA on 1-22-13. Right front amputation on 1-31-13. No IV Chemo. Metronomic Therapy started 2-19-13 along with supplements and some home cooking. Lungs clear until 1-06-14. She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self. Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14
