In Loving Memory of our precious fur kid, Maddie 3/10/04-11/28/09. She went to the Rainbow Bridge today. She is free from the pain from the cancer, she got her 4th leg back and is running & playing with her brothers Buzz & Dallas. Her Pop Pop Joe & her Uncle Bill were waiting there to greet her. Dr. Kurek from University of Penn Veterinary Hospital was wonderful and compassionate and helped Maddie go to the Rainbow Bridge with dignity. Dr. Kurek cried right along with us. Now Maddie is happy, free & her pain is gone. We will love her, remember her & miss her forever. WE LOVE YOU OUR MADDIE GIRL, Love your Mommy and Daddy…….
Kathy,
I hope you won't mind. I'm going to move this reply to the Coping with Loss forum. I don't want anyone to miss seeing it.
I am sorry sweet Maddie's time has come to join the spirit world. You are in my thoughts as struggle to accept a new life without her presence.
RIP sweet Maddie. 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 am so sorry to hear of your loss. There are not words that I can say that will help your pain in losing Maddie but please know how sorry I am and that I am praying for you. We lost of precious Emily Nov. 10 so I know what you are going through.

Kathy, Angle Maddie, and all the family,
Words cannot express how sorry we are at this moment and hope that you can accept our deepest sympathy. You fought a valiant fight and your story touched our hearts. You have again shown quality by finding the courage to let go with the dignity that Maddie deserves. It sounds as if Maddie has plenty of family to wait that joyous day of reunion to never be parted again. You really will never be withoug Maddie for all the wonderful gifts that Maddie gave will forever be with you.
You will remain in our thoughts and prayers. We are hopeful that you will find peace and will soon have the day whey you can remember Maddie with a smile and not just the canyon of a hole of loneliness.

I'm sure Jerry and all his fallen tripawd pals are there to greet Maddie with big smiles and sloppy kisses. May you find some peace knowing that by sharing Maddie's story you have touched us all, and will help many others.

Maddie was beautiful and she still is running free in the sun, rolling in the grass and wrestling with all her buddies. Take care during this difficult time. - opie's mom

I am sooo sorry to hear about Maddie, I am certain though that Shilo was there to Greet Maddie with kisses and play time. I am want to send my hugs and condlences to those she left behind, for it is us that has to find some kind of peace to live without them. Even though we did everything possible to save our babies.. Our thoughts are with you...

I am so sorry that you had to let Maddie go. I was hoping that the Metacam and other drugs would help. I know what a hard decison that was for you but now Maddie is free from her cancer.

How are you doing today Kathy? I replied to your PM... I'm thinking of you...

Dear Kathy,
I have been reading all of your posts about Maddie and her journey. Maddie is such a beautiful dog and you did everything you could. She is no longer suffering and is running pain free with all of her new Tripawds friends she is meeting at the Rainbow Bridge. I am truly sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences.
