Brian and Annie-
So sorry for your loss of Ginger. She was a beauty and you were all blessed to have one another. Keep all the happy memories, she would want that.
Mary, Lucy's mom
Lucy's front right leg was amputated 12/19/11. Thankfully there was no tumor, but her nerves were found to be degenerative. Life as a tripawd is Lucy's new adventure!!
Annie and Brian, I hope the few weeks that have passed have eased your pain a little. I am so sad that Sammy and I, then Wrigley, didn't have a chance to meet your beautiful Ginger. She was the standard bearer for all our Tripawds warriors. Run free, sweet Ginger - give Smilin' Sammy a kiss for me.

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 am so sorry to hear of your loss...what a beautiful soul!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!

Annie and Brian,
When I checked this coping with loss I was heartbroken to read Ginger's name. I am so so sorry. She and you were a huge part of our lives when we were fighting Sammy's cancer and her avatar picture shows her sweet personality shinning through. The rest of her pictures confirm what an angel she was.
We are so very sorry for your loss, I will be missing her too. I pray for healing for you and that she is running free and happy again on all of her legs.
Elizabeth and spirit Sammy

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
