I'm not really ready to talk about it much because it's still pretty painful.
11/23/2010 I lost my sweet angel Denali to cancer. I left for work and she seemed like she was in pain and was having a hard time getting around – I figured she'd just pulled something. When I got home she couldn't walk. We went to the emergency vet and found out the cancer had spread and she was in so much pain. I love her so much and it's just really hard right now. Rest in peace, Denali, I know where every you are, you'll make friends and be the life to the party.

Haley and Spirit Denali,
Words will not be able to express how sorry we are to hear that Denali's journey has reached a conclusion, but we hope that you can accept our deepest sympathy at this time. The love that you shared has been so very obvious in all your postings and we all hoped that you could have shared so very much more time together. Together, you fought a vallient fight and did everything possible to continue your time together. There are many of us in this community that know just how numb you are feeling now and want to know that you will always have our support. At times like these, I always try to remind one that you will never be totally without Denali for the gifts that she gave you will live with you forever.
Praying for the time with you can remember Denali with a smile,
Spirit Cherry's Dad
This hurts my heart too. I am so sorry, we are sending prayers and love your way. Even though we all expect to lose our furry kids, it sounds like this was unexpected. That can cause a different pain than the gradual decline. Denali's expressive face will be in my mind today, she was such a beautiful girl. Rest In Peace sweet Denali.
I hope that you find peace in your grief knowing she is so well loved. I agree with etgayle, love never dies.

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
I'm so sad to read your news about Denali. It was so obvious how much love you both had for each other and I can't even imagine how painful this must be for you. Such a beautiful girl. This really hits home for many of us and I'm so so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.
My deepest condolences,
Kami, Mackenzie & Kobe
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!
I am so sorry to hear about Denali. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sending many, 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!

What a sweet and brave girl, your Denali was. We feel the loss of your precious Denali and our hearts are broken with yours.
Cancer may have taken your beautiful Denali from you here, but she will be with you forever in your heart, where NOTHING can take her from you.
We all know what a painful time this is for you and I pray that your grief will eventually be repalced with comfort.
Hugs and hugs,

Oh we are very, very sorry to hear this. Beautiful Denali will be so missed by all of us, and we know your pain even greater.
She is free now, she is out of pain. And somewhere, she runs with our Spirit Tripawd heroes, looking after all of us as we walk our own three legged journeys. May that vision bring you comfort sometime in the future.
Many, many condolences to you, we are so sorry. When you need a shoulder to lean on, we are here for you.
