Meet our new stars, Ms. S. Gayle Noir and her sister, Ms. Jane Haney!
Yes I know – Gayle has been our Greta Garbo star for a long time; making only brief appearances in photos, yet a powerful force on Tripawds. But that's about to all change!
Her sister, Jane has had some bit parts but she is in her own feature film now! For 14 1/2 years Jane has played an important role to sister Charon (and still does)!
Introducing…
Gayle and Jane!
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.
Wow, such beautiful ladies! Thanks again for sharing these awesome videos. In a week or 2, when the bank account allows, I will definitely be sending you some photos of my babies (I believe I'll be requesting a "two for" as well). I hope the offer still stands. By the way, I forgot how that works. When I contribute by clicking on the "chip in" button, do I need to pm you or just e-mail the pictures. Or can I just drive over the hump and give you a CD 
. You do awesome work! (and really love the music!)
Lisa and future stars Sadie and Athena
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.

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
Awesome - both beautiful in their own way.
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.
The November Five - Spirits Max, Cherry, Tika, Trouble & Nova. 11/2008 - 3/2013 An era ends as Queen Nova crossed the Bridge.
Wow.
Beautiful.

"Going Dog" def: living every day in the moment
"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are."
–Unknown
Awwwshucks! You are so welcome Charon!
But I didn't have to do hardly any of the work! You handed me all the material! And the songs were lovely. I'm not a country-western person but I have to admit, I'm attached to those two songs now! I have them memorized by heart!
P.S. Comet had to resist her urge to make the silly faced wide open mouthed picture of Gayle her new avatar! You know how Cometdog loves her silly face open mouth pictures! But that would negate Gayle's nap persona!

Yes, Sadie!
You just click the chipin widget and pony up a donation to Tripawds! (you have to pay to be a star!) You can get the pics to me - however you want! And you can choose your music if you want. Try to not get a current hit by Warner Music Group - they have copyright issues with youtube and may can the audio. And if nothing pops in your head, I can pick it.
We have about 4 to 5 ahead of you (2 -3weeks out - so no hurry on the donation)...but I can pull a ticket for you and call your number when you're next up!

I just finished viewing the videos posted to the blog. Just simply precious! I loved them both. You rock cometdog
Absolutely beautiful videos!!! Great work Cometdog... as usual.
Angel Jake and Wolfie's Mom
Jake, 10yr old golden retriever (fractured his front right leg on 9/1, bone biopsy revealed osteosarcoma on 9/10, amputation on 9/17) and his family Marguerite, Jacques and Wolfie, 5yr old german shepherd and the newest addition to the family, Nala, a 7mth old Bengal mix kittie. Jake lost his battle on 11/9/2009, almost 8 weeks after his surgery. We will never forget our sweet golden angel… http://jakesjou.....ipawds.com ….. CANCER SUCKS!
Awesome work, Comet! Gayle and Jane deserve to walk the red carpet with those videos!!!
Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!

Those were fantastic!!!! Your dogs are Supa-stars now!
Tracy, Maggie's Mom
Maggie was amputated for soft tissue sarcoma 10-20-09
Maggie lost her battle with kidney disease on 8-24-13
What great videos, but then how could they not be great when you work with Gayle and Jane, the super stars! Great job as always Comet.
Jo Ann & Tasha
Tasha 8 years old, First cancer diagnosis 6/26/09, Last cancer diagnosis 9/26/09, Amputation 10/01/09, Loving our girl moment by moment.
Tasha lost her battle and became my Angel on May 4 2011. Forever in my heart….
I've been back tracking to try to catch up on some more of your slide shows. I was pleased to find two more amazing ones!! No wonder you are so popular, you do great work!
-Chloe's mom
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 had to come over here and watch these videos again (watched them on your blog too). I just love these!! Definitely the red carpet is calling out Gayle and Jane's names. Superstars for sure. So fantastic!!
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
Did you see what Gayle's new stardom has done to her personality!? She had an avatar make-over! I think her sunny side is definitely showing with all the yellow!
