Molly was diagnosed with Synovial Cell Sarcoma (grade 3 with hystiocytic markers) and had her front leg amputated on August 15th 2008. We had a wonderful two years with her until she passed at age 13.5 on August 29th 2010. As far as we could tell, her cancer never returned.
My most sincere sympathies on losing Riley to this devastating dis-ease. Love keeps them alive in our hearts and minds, as others have said. Our thoughts are with all of you tonite.
Sending cyber-hugs,
Tana and Spirit Sophie

"Going Dog" def: living every day in the moment
"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are."
