God...how awful. I'm so sorry that he had to endure all those complications. It's just not fair. I'm glad he doesn't have to go through that anymore but I know how hard it must've been for you and how even harder it must be now. I hope Bowser will be back to normal soon--find strength in each other.
We're so very sorry for your loss. And even more sorry this was such a difficult ordeal for all of you. Our hearts break for you. We can tell Angus was a majestic, soulful creature and a big love---we can see it in his eyes. We know words are of little use right now, but we just want you to know we're thinking of you and sending you our love.
You were courageous and selfless to set Angus free. We know he felt your love and agree he is your guardian angel now.
He is running free with his new Tripawd friends---they will all be there to love him. Take care, Eve, Romeo, and family
I am so very sorry to hear about Angus and that both he and you had to go through such unexpected and difficult circumstances. I always wish that there was more to say to comfort, but I am still in search of those words. We are here supporting you sending hugs, good thoughts and lots of licks (from Olive). Take care.
Best,
Stacy, Angel Lulu and Olive
It's not right, it's just not right... you guys having to endure those circumstances.
We are sending thoughts of comfort and only great memories to you.
How stupidly unfair. Unfair. UNFAIR! I want to shout that to the world! I know this is such a painful time for you and your family. Dogs greive for eachother too. It will take time for Bowser, but he will come around. I'm so sorry that you had to exerience this with your precious friend. We all know that you did the right thing by your big buddy, but sometimes it just hurts. I hope you find peace soon.
May 2001-Jan 21, 2010.....I'm a dog and I'm AWESOME!..... Always.
What can I add? Except we too are sending you our love and strength. Angus Og was obviously a dog among dogs and the light of your life. His spirit will shine on in your heart, as in all of ours here in the tripawds community, forever.

Thank you so much everyone for all of your kind words, thoughts and prayers for Angus. He truly was a special happy dog, and a rare find in deed. I just know he is at peace finally and even though when he left this world he was a Tripawd, he was made whole when he entered the Rainbow Bridge and can run and play with his new found friends and not have to limp anymore.

Jim, Shanna & Trouble, Debra & Angel Emily;
Thank you so much for you kind words. It helps alot to see him through the years and every time I see the photos, and there are so many more to add (we keep on adding more as we find them on our discs) we cry, and cry some more. But I think it's good for the soul as they say, or good therapy, right?
Oh Mary I am so sorry I didn't see your blog until today. I just wanted to send my condolences and thoughts your way. What a tough battle that must have been, I am sooo sorry... What a beautiful baby too. My heart goes out to you.
Alisa & Angel ShiloAnne

Mary... what a beautiful memorial for Angus... Such a handsome and happy dog... I know you miss him so... 
Sending you a big hug... Your are in my thoughts...

Thank you so much Alisa & Angel ShiloAnne and Angel Jake's Mom for your kind words and thoughts. I do miss Angus so much and tomorrow will be two (2) weeks. I just received a call a few minutes ago from the vet saying that they received Angus' ashes back. We will be taking the trip down to the vet tonight (an hour drive from where we live) to pick up his ashes. I just know that will be very emotional 
for both of us. However, I can't wait to bring my baby boy home
Mary, I know that it will be so emotional when you go and pick up Angus' ashes today... Almost as bad as loosing him all over again. But once he is home with you again, I think you may feel a little bit of relief... but it still doesn't help to ease the pain and sadness...
I will be thinking of you today...
