I am so sorry for your loss. Know that you were doing the best for him, and he knows that. I'm glad that you were with him when he crossed the Bridge. Know that he is free and whole and with many tripawd heroes. Love never ends.

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'm so sorry! This was one of my biggest fears with Spencer's surgery. ((hugs))
Jac and Angel Spencer. Spencer was 5.25 years old. He fought a grade 3 fibrosarcoma, started on his shoulder. Left front leg amputated in August 2011. 15 weeks of chemo finished 12/22/11 (mytox and adria). Lung mets found on x-rays 12/28/11. Started carboplatin 1/6/12. Went to Heaven on 2/27/12. I miss him like crazy every day. See his blog here: http://spencer.tripawds.com/
I too want to help you with words of comfort. It is just so sad to lose Brady this way! I agree with what many others have said, the only way to get rid of the horrible pain of bone cancer is with the amputation, so you were doing the best you could for your boy. I'm just so very very sorry. Sending you virtual hugs and very real prayers for peace. I believe he is now in a good place, no more pain, just running free from cancer while he waits to see you again.

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
I am so sorry to read of Brady's passing, I hate it when I see one of these stories, there not common but unfortunately happen once in a great while, I am really sorry to hear this. Our thoughts are with you, Spirit Gus and Dan
My buddy Gus had a left front amputation on April 7, 2010 and lived a great life until July 26,2010
Thank you all for your kind words and prayers. I buried Brady yesterday beside the pond at my Dad's house with his favorite ball. He was a true water dog and to me a hero for the way he coped and loved til the end. Tears are still falling but smiles have been added. Please know that I will continue to pray for each of you and your loving pets that your journeys will be long and painfree.
-Your friend,
Brady's Mom
It is always such a shock to our community when one of our new friends is lost so suddenly. We didn't know you or Brady long, but we feel your pain and so wish the outcome had been different. You are in my thoughts as you struggle through the shock and pain. May the happy memories soon bring a smile when you remember Brady.
RIP sweet Brady. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Such a tragedy. But I'm glad he has his favorite ball with him.
