I just saw the new banner of Gayle. Thank you Admin for putting up a banner for Angel Gayle. Charon and Gayle were one of the first people to welcome me and Chili Dawg to this community. They have been so supportive to so many of us, and she deserves to be up there.Paws up to you, Admin!
Run free, Gayle, and like Charon says, "Love Never Ends".
Diagnosed with OSA: 5/2/2011 Ampuversary: 5/11/2011 OSA returned in hip: 8/26/2011
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.
Paw shucks, it's the least we can do for such a beautiful spirit and her uber-supportive skin sister Charon. Really.

Yes- Thank you for adding Angel ET Gayle to the banner. Charon has been and still is a big part of this community. Our heart aches tonight as we mourn with her.
Spirit Samson was Spirit Tripawd Daisys four legged "brother" and ruled as the self proclaimed head of the Monkeybutt Federations East Coast Division. Lady Chunky Monkey stayed from Oct 2011 and left for the bridge in Apr 2012. Miss Perdy is left and has some big pawprints to fill.

Oh, I haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure it's beautiful and will bring me to tears. Charon and Gayle were on the welcome wagon when we first joined too.
Just saw Gayle's banner, such a beautiful warrior princess! A wonderful way to honor a pillar of this community. You guys are pawsome for being so fast!!

Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog
I just saw it. The accent of pink is perfect.
Gayle will now watch over us and help us heal her terrible loss.
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.

Life is good, so very, very good!!! Gayle enjoyed each and every moment of each and every wonderful day (naps included). She left this world December 12, 2011 – off on a new adventure.
Love Never Ends
@charon No, thank you!

I saw it too - so beautiful and so perfect with the pink. She is such a hero and Charon and Gayle are an inspiring team.
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. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
I also kept refreshing the page until I saw Gayle--what a beautiful tribute to a beautiful girl.
We all share your loss, Charon, as Gayle was such a wonderful ambassador for tripawds. When you and Gayle went on the cancer walk, you represented all tripawds dogs and Spirit dogs.
Your post about checking the mouths of our dogs was so you--always helping others even during your own time of loss.
Thank you, Charon, for your help and encouragement. I wish I could make things easier for you right now...

Gayle's banner is beautiful - great job Admin guy!
The banners really are a special touch. I remember seeing Trouble's for the first time. Very emotional, yet very proud.
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.
