After a long week of working late I logged on and was so hoping everything was well with my favorite tripawds, I am REALLY sorry this isn't the case.

Especially about Abby, we love Abby and you Jackie. I am glad to read how "in the moment" you are, you are amazing, just like our girl. Please give her a kiss on the cheek from Sammy. We are sending up prayers as soon as I finish this post for every moment with her to be incredible, and for her to have as much time as can be given.

Abby and Jackie, you are our inspiration.

Elizabeth and Sammy

Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in the right front leg 8/23/10, leg fractured 8/27/10, leg amputated 8/30/10 http://sammyand.....pawds.com/ I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.

So glad to hear Abby had a good night. Not sure its helpful, but When Sam's coughing started draining him a bit, we put him on a cough suppressant – it was a blessing for him. His energy was still good so it just let him be himself without the cough bugging him – it kept him really comfortable. It actually worked so well we had to remind ourselves that none of the causes were going away, just the cough. Keep loving your days! Xoxo Sue

I am so, so sorry to hear about Abby. I have read about her for many months and been encouraged by her victories. I hope love and good medicine keep her comfortable and happy for many more days to come.

My heart goes out to you. Live in the moment — love forever.

— Beth

Smilin' Sammy, March 16, 2004 – Dec. 5, 2011 Golden retriever, diagnosed with osteosarcoma in September 2010 — right front leg amputated November 2010. He fought valiantly to stay with us; but a second diagnosis of osteosarcoma, this time in his left front leg, was more than our golden warrior could overcome. He loved his pack — and everyone else he met.
We loved him even more. Thanks for the pennies, Sammy. They helped.

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that Abby is not doing well. Your advice and her story have been an inspiration and comfort for me as my dog is a new Tripawd. I wish you and Abby the best and hope you have lots of time with your beautiful girl.

I just caught up on your blog and all I can say is I am so sorry. Abby was a real hero in my eyes as I was going through my short journey with Fergus. I hope she has many more happy beach days. As everyone says, just live each day with her to the fullest and take lots of photos. We stocked up on treats and did as many fun pack things as possible in the time we had.

Thinking of you,

Tara & Spirit Fergus

Abby -

Sorry we have been MIA for a while but logged in and saw your sad news. We hope you live it up by going to the beach, eating all the burgers you want and kissing everyone you know.

Your are still in our thoughts and prayers and here's hoping for more better days with your pawsome mom.
