Bonnie,
The pictures of Polly and the video are beautiful. People can see Polly was a gentle soul and very much loved. I'm sure she gave my Leland some guidance when he went to the bridge and for that I'm thankful. They are truly missed as are all the other pups and kitties that are waiting there.
Sending you a warm hug and keeping you in my thoughts.
Sahana and her Angel Leland
Sahana, thank you for your sweet post, and yeah, I think Polly was there to meet and help out your handsome Leland......I believe all our beloved and amazing Tripawd Angels are together, and having a blast...... They only have moments of sadness when remembering us and how they miss us so much, too while over the Bridge.....but I also believe they have the ability to visit us even though we can't see them. Leland is always with you, even if you don't realize he is there....
Keeping you in my thoughts as well, hoping each day is easier to breathe for you......
Love,
Bonnie & Angel Polly
Dear Bonnie,
Your video and pictures are beautiful. Just when I think I won't cry over my Maggie I read about the tributes to passing tripawds and I start bawling again. I guess we will always feel the love and pain of our pups and kitties no matter how much time goes by. Polly's avatar is the sweetest picture ever. Bless you and your pack.

Thank you, Penny.........I feel the same way, truly.....sometimes I still cry at the drop of a hat, for seemingly no reason, but we all know the reason deep down when this happens to us. You are right, no matter how long or short our fur kids have been gone, we still grieve them. My first Lab love Duchess will be gone 15 years soon, and I still think about her often, but I do remember her with more acceptance and happy memories. And the name Maggie...... soooo many of us have had a special pup with that name, one of the most popular names ever, no doubt.....
Bless you and your pack as well, and I adore the name Hankenstein.....!!
Love,
Bonnie & Angel Polly
((((((Bonnie)))))) Sorry we missed the official day but know that you and Angel Polly are always in our hearts. Absolutely love that video and the pics. What a sweet and gentle soul, and so loving. Thanks for sharing your sweet Polly with us.
Love and hugs,
Deb and Lexie
Deb and Angel Lexie* Diagnosed at age 13. Tried radiation first; wish we had amputated upon diagnosis (even with lung mets). Joined Club Tripawd April 2014 & Lexie loved life on 3 legs! Advice: Start physical therapy as soon as your vet clears it, especially hydrotherapy if available :-) See Lexie pics here.

Thanks Deb, for your kind support.....I surely am glad you enjoyed the pics and video, I hope to be able to post more along the way, here. I do hope you and sweet Lexie are doing well, she for sure, does not even resemble a 14 year old pup.......she is a gorgeous dog as well.
Love,
Bonnie and Angel Polly
Hugs to you, Bonnie, from one lab lover to another. Hope your dear Polly and Charlie have made a connection, somewhere over the rainbow.

Charlie, our English yellow lab, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in February 2014. He became a tripawd on February 24th, with clear lymph nodes and lungs, but that didn't last long. After three doses of Carbo, in May 2014, x-rays showed lung mets. We briefly tried Palladia, which went well. Unfortunately, Charlie developed unexplained complications in his hind limbs. We said a reluctant farewell on June 11, 2014. Still miss our boy each and every day.
