I am so sorry about your handsome Tank. I know how much you will miss him, but hope your heart is comforted by thoughts of how much you loved him and how much he loved you. I truly believe that our beloved dogs are waiting for us on the other side of the bridge — whole, pain-free and happy in the knowledge that they are still loved and always will be.

Golden retriever, diagnosed with osteosarcoma in September 2010 — right front leg amputated November 2010. He fought valiantly to stay with us; but a second diagnosis of osteosarcoma, this time in his left front leg, was more than our golden warrior could overcome. He loved his pack — and everyone else he met.
We loved him even more.
Thanks for the pennies, Sammy. They helped.
I'm sorry you had to say goodbye to Tank. I hope the good memories bring you peace and give you strength during the coming days and weeks. Although you can't see Tank any longer he lives on in your heart and so is always with you.

I'm new to the site, and I'm sad to say I never got to know Tank. But your pictures and poems are beautiful! I'm sure he was a wonderful loving boy. He will always be in your heart and a part of you!

Scout's diagnosis was "poorly differentiated sarcoma"; amputation 1/11/2011. Scout enjoyed 9 fantastic years on 4 legs and 9 glorious months on 3 legs. If love alone could have saved you…
I'm so sorry. I have tears in my eyes for you guys. ((hugs))

Jewels was a gorgeous Lab-Shep mix that found us at the pet rescue when she was just 3 months old. Born June 2000; Diagnosed OSA on June 1, 2011; L-front Amputation September 12, 2011; Crossed Rainbow Bridge December 30, 2011. My "baby dog" will always be in my heart. Now she is running fast and free on all four legs after the rabbits and squirrels! Jewels was loved by her crazy-busy mom, even-keeled dad, pesky twin human brothers and monkeydog sister Aspen.

Sorry to hear of your loss...you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers
