I don't know how I missed this but Rosa you have a great legacy in the Oaktown Pack. Thank you for all you have done and the legacy left. You were one beautiful girl.

Hard to believe 5 months ago today my baby Sassy Sugar Bear gained her wings on the Bridge . Momma loves you baby.
Also Brendol went across the bridge the same day.

Oaky, the tears are flowing again.
We miss Sassy and Brendol too. So much.
I'm jst sooooooo glad you jave the heart, the compassion, the courage to be just wonderful supporters of all of ushere...past, present and future. I kow I've said it before, but it realy does keep their legacies alive. Their voices are still being heard throughnyou.
And more dogs and cats are becoming fashion models and getring steaks and parties for their birthdays because of Sassy Sugar Bear. And bubble vlowing macines are being sold everywhere ow as a play toy for dogs! 
Okay, you know I'm pretty well tuned into whether a picture is a repeat or ot. Honest to goodness, I don't "think" I've seen either! Beautiful! Jst beautiful!
That hapy, always smiling Sassy.....Sassy just being Sassy...beautiful, regal anf joyful.
And Brendol? Yeah, the "heart" says it perfectly. She'll be your "heart dog" forever! I'll always love that beautiful face with such exquisite bone structure.
Sassy Sugar Bear is ALWAYS remembered here and NEVER forgotten!
Brendol is ALWAYS remembered here and NEVER forgotten!
Sending you love AND gratitude for being here...AND for PICTURES!! YAY!

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
These two photos say it all: Sassy and Brendol had the most beautiful, loving spirits that will never, ever fade away.
We are keeping an extra special candle lit in our hearts today with you in our thoughts. May your beautiful Tripawd Warrior Princesses watch over our 3-legged heroes and put extra twinkles in the sky tonight.

YAAAAAAAY JERRY!! You showed that snowball who was boss! Your mom and dad take THE best pictures of you! Of course, with a "subject" like you, how could the be anything but GREAT !
Jerry, there are no words invented that adequately express what your presence on this earth has done for sooooooo many! To me, it's crystal clear tnat the "all-knowng Universe" had your soul's purpose fully connected to your humans and their soul's purpose, long before you jumped into your earth clothes! To be with anyother humans as your partners while you were here.....nah.....no way........the Universe knew exactly what it was doing!
How did Jerry find his waynto your hearts? How did it come about that he "picked" you? And "Jerry".....named after Jerry Garcia, right? (A human who does roaches better than any Greyhound could!)
Jerry, yo've enriched the lives of animals and humans in countless ways. Actualy, there isn't a number big enough to give you any idea!
You and your humans continue to take us on a journey of expandng love and enlightenment everyday!!
WHOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO FOR JERRY!!
Thank you! We love you so much!

one year.... one year at this time we were in the backyard.. enjoying the sun.. we cooked you a steak and treated you to ice cream... and then did THAT drive. I wanted to take the long way.. to take the scenic tour, I wanted to drive less than the speed limit. I wish I had done it different for you buddy. You are missed.. terribly.. every day... and that is ok because you left big pawprints on our hearts that will never fade.
If love could have kept you here... you would have lived forever.
Christine.... with Franklin ALWAYS in her heart♥
Franklin, he was the Happiest Dog on Three Legs! Diagnosed 09/26/2012 with Osteosarcoma, amputated 12/4/2012. Had a wonderful 5 1/2 months painfree until he ran for the Bridge on 5/15/2013. Always in my heart, and always a guardian angel of my pack... You can follow his Tripawd Adventures, before and after, in my blog, Frank'n'Farter!
