Gentle tears fall for you Jenna. It breaks my heart to read this, I just was hoping it wouldn't come so soon. Chili Dawg will always live here in Tripawd land. He had such spirit and personality. May the pain you feel today soon be replaced with only warm memories that bring a smile. He will forever live in the hearts of those who loved him.
RIP sweet Chili Dawg. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

I am so sorry to hear this. I am also sorry I didn't get a longer time to know him and meet him at a get together here in Chicago-land. Just imagine him now up there smiling down on you and pain free and playing. And imagine our hugs being sent to you. Cadence also sends you her licks as condolences.

Ah Chili, we were just getting to know you! We are sad for your pawrents but know that you are whoopin' it up over the bridge with all our Tripawd heroes that have gone on before. Run free sweet dawg, you will live forever in our hearts.

Jenna - I'm just shocked and feel so terrible for you. I know you must be heartbroken and we are so very, very sorry for you.

Oh no, Jenna, I was so sad to see this news. I really hoped you would have a bit more time with your sweet boy. But there is no amount of time that is "enough" is there? He is pain free now. And you did a very unselfish thing to help him become that way.
We are all here for you, sharing your pain and crying with you. I know you will cherish your memories of him.
Remember that love doesn't die. Big hugs and healing Abby kisses are being sent to you and your family and Finchy.

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman.

Jenna,
I am so sad I appreciate your support this morning on our posting, and just wasn't expecting to be offering it so soon to you and Chilli. He has been on my mind of late, and it breaks my heart to know that his physical presence is no longer with us. I hurt for you and I wish he had more time with us. I do know that he is loved, and I know he knows it too. I believe he is already in a place of unconditional love, joy, fun, and peace.
Many prayers for you both, sending love and comfort as best I can through the computer. I cry tonight, bye Chilli, you are one amazing and wonderful boy.

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
Good bye Chilli dawg... U look so peaceful in ur moms arms... hope ur peace prevails...
i m so very sorry for ur loss.. i m crying with u ...
Thank you everyone for your kindness. The house feels empty without the Chili Dawg, and we don't know what to do without him. Time will heal our hearts and we have our memories. For now, we will shed our tears and be comforted in knowing that he is no longer in pain and is surrounded by fellow tripawds & quadpawds.

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.
I am so saddened to hear that Chili's journey had to come to an end. By now Skyler & Chloe have greeted him at Rainbow Bridge, and will soon be teaching him all of their naughty habits.
You did all that you could for Chili, and in the end you let him go with dignity. You were by his side till the end, which is so selfless. You showed him just how much you love him. That love will live in your hearts forever.
RIP, Chili Dawg...run free...watch over your pawrents!
Sending you many, many golden hugs...
Cathy
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. That is a wonderful picture of the two of you... so peaceful.
Jenna and family,
I am so sorry to find this news this morning. You guys gave Chili a wonderful life after things didn't start so well for him, and you gave him a chance at more quality time when the cancer appeared. I know there is not much consolation at this time, but these things will help you heal, and bring you good memories and smiles eventually.
I know what you mean about the house being quiet. When I came home without Maggie that first night the house was so still, even though I had another pug roaming around. There is a void because you spend so much time and energy with your special pup, especially near the end. Suddenly you find you don't have so much to do, or worry about.
Take your time to grieve your loss, and come here often if you need support.

I sent you another of his quotes that really affected me when I lost my girl. I hope it brings some comfort.
