Dear Jackie and Mike,
I can't begin to tell you the depth of sadness I feel. We loved her so much too. Through your words, devotion, kindness, love and of course humor you made us love her even more. Her spirit became the soul of tripawds and that won't ever change.
You've helped so many by being there for others, so please turn to us and let us help you as you mourn for the beautiful Angel Tripawd Warrior Princess Abby.
I'm honored you let me be a small part of her journey because I will treasure the memories we had.
Goodbye beautiful baby girl. We love you.
Ge'Lena, George and Rocket
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.
I am so sorry that Abbys time had come so soon. Abby was such a big part of this community and helped many new members in their journey. We are sending our love, condolences and healing thoughts to you.

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.

Jackie and Mike,
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for you. I know how much you loved Abby and how much she loved you. She was an inspiriational tripawd to so many of us on this site and she will be missed. Please let me know if I can do anything to help. You were so helpful to me when we joined the site, please let me be there for you. I know my Chili Dawg greeted her at the bridge and they are now either running on the beach or laying on their backs in the sun. Run free, sweet girl, run free.
Sending you tear filled hugs,
Jenna & Finchy

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.
Jackie and Mike,
When I saw you post, I cried "oh no" out loud and the tears started streaming. You and Abby have been such a huge part of Charley's journey since their amputations were only 1 day apart and my heart is breaking. I started this unwanted journey with you guys and I always envisioned Abby and Charley beating the odds together. I've always had a special place in my heart for Abby and I always will....since I can't stop crying, Charley keeps trying to lick my tears. If only words could take away your pain...
In time, may memories of your girl bring smiles and happiness instead of only tears and sadness.
Godspeed sweet Tripawd Warrior Princess Abby!!! You are a hero! Run free with all of the heroes that have gone before you! Please send your mommy and daddy pennies when you can!
Abby's legacy will live on!
Wishing you peace and strength...
Hugs and chocolate labby kisses,

Bbbbb
I am so sorry for your loss, and for Tripawds loss.
You both are such an inspiration to us here that have/are on the journey.
May all the loving memories of Abby live forever in your hearts.
RIP sweet Abby. Go find our pups at the bridge and have fun.
Watch over all of us here, you are now an "Angel with a tail".

Jackie and Mike,
What very sad news...Abby was such a special girl and an inspiration to so many of us. I wish i could find words that would lessen your pain right now...we share your loss.
I do believe that dogs go to heaven and that Abby is there now with her tripawds friends. She is in no pain and her leg has been restored so that she can run and play.
Run, Abby, run! Your friends are waiting to play with you!
Love and prayers to those she has left behind....
Barb and Spirit Hope
Abby was an angel to all of here at aTripawds, always flying right where she was needed the most. She will be sorely missed.
Jackie, I'm so sorry for the pain you are experiencing. I think there is nothing worse in the world than the first day without them.

Jackie and Mike,
I'm so sorry. We knew Abby was getting ready for her wings, but there is always hope for another day or week...
I know well how hard it is to come home to an empty house on that first night. But know that Abby is beside you in spirit, and always will be.
You fought this battle with such courage and grace. Encouraging others even as Abby was facing new challenges. Bringing a smile even when there really was nothing to smile about.
I think we all hope for a natural end, but most of us have to face what you did today. But as usual you put Abby first, even though it hurts like hell, you had the courage and compassion to let Abby go on to her next adventure.
And now it is our turn to provide you with whatever help and support you need, please don't hesitate to ask.
Karen
Jackie, so sorry to read of Abby's passing, hopefully some day the empty space you feel right now will be filled with the good memories you have of Abby, our thoughts are with you, Spirit Gus and Dan
My buddy Gus had a left front amputation on April 7, 2010 and lived a great life until July 26,2010
I am so sorry to hear about Abby. Your posts were an inspiration and comfort to me during my dogs surgery and recovery. I hope we have the strength that you and Abby have had to fight the good fight. I cant find the right words...but your dog was lucky to have you as was I to read your posts of compassion and kindness.
Betsy,Tim and the Bdawg
Jackie, I am so so sorry. My thoughts, too, are with you.
Hugs.
Carmen, Spirit Catie and Riley

Jackie and Mike,
We can't even begin to tell you how heartbroken the Tripawds world is today, and how incredibly sorry we are for your loss. Our tears just won't stop falling for one of the greatest warrior princesses of all time.
It takes our breath away to think that we were just hours away from getting to meet her tomorrow. At least now, she is pawtying with all of our Tripawd Angels, having the best beach day ever.
Please know we are thinking of you, and sending all of our love. We mourn the loss of this very, very special girl.
