I am SO sorry for your loss. Beautiful, beautiful girl. How devastatingly sudden.
My deepest condolences.

Pure beauty. Inside and out. All dogs leave a hole in your heart when they leave, but the ones who have been with you through troubled times break it in two. My dog, Zach, was the one who lead me through so many hardships and (like you said) moved with me too many times to count. Always there. He was a big golden/pyrenees cross. A gentle giant. Stay strong. You will see Myla again. (Spirit Opie and Earthly Mattie's mom)
This brings tears to my eyes, knowing you lost your heart dog. I am so sorry. I am praying for Myla and for you today.

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
Oh my gosh, I'm so saddened to read about Myla this morning. But at least she went quickly and with you. RIP Myla... Our thoughts are with you in your grieving of your beautiful girl....

I am so saddened to read this news about Myla. My heart goes out to you. What a blessing that she was in your arms and surrounded by your love. She sure was a beautiful girl and I'm sure she's watching over you now making sure that you're ok. She will be forever in your heart - very comforting indeed.
My deepest condolences,
Kami (Mackenzie's Mom)
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
Neala
I am so sorry and sad about the way things turned out. Losing Myla so soon after surgery and so quickly has to be incredibly hard. Yes, it is nice that she was with you during her last moments and that she did not suffer. But still so hard. Will be thinking of you and Myla.
Susan
Oh Neala, I just don't know what to say. It's so devastating to lose our friends in such a senseless way. Myla was so strong and made it through so much. She's a beautiful dog. I'm glad I got to know her a little, and see her beautiful pictures. You'll be in my prayers.
Leslie
Oh, Neala, I am so very sorry to read about Myla. Please accept my deep condolences and please know we are holding you in our hearts. How wonderful for both of you that she was able to be in your arms at the end.
Sending many hugs,
Holly, Zuzu and Susan
Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!

Rest in Peace Myla. Keep close to your mom in spirit now, her heart is truly broken.
I just wish I could ease the pain and sadness, but all I can say is I am sending healing thoughts. So devastating to lose your 'heart dog'. Trust that Myla knows how much she was loved.

-Diagnosed with osteosarcoma of her left front leg –
-Amputation July 23 2010 –
-The cancer didn't get her, but she is gone-
-She fought the cancer and loved life till bloat brought her down August 29th, 2010-
Now she watches over her mom and two new sisters, the Quad-Paws Serena and Maya
The cliche about quality vs quantity of time seems to be even more important for boxers or dobermans like my Alexei. They seem to live abbreviated lives from what I observe, albeit packed. (That is a great picture you posted.) It appears that your time with Myla was packed with adventure just in the amount of times you two moved. And I'm sure you leaned on each other for support in uncertain times and her spirit will continue to support and comfort. Bless both of you...
I am so very sad to read about the sudden death of Myla. Please accept my condolences on your loss.
Rest in Peace Myla
