Although I have been a member of this site for many months, it is with great sadness that my 1st post is that my beloved Kiara has earned her wings. She said her final goodbye on Oct 12 and it is only now that I have the strength to make this post.
So sorry to hear this news. We hope you find comfort knowing that the Tripawds community is here for you. please accept our most sincere condolences.
Your future posts will not require moderation.

Oh, she looks like a beautiful girl. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm sure you must miss her terribly, but some day I hope you'll be able to remember her with more smiles than tears.
Sending hugs and sweet Abby kisses,
Jackie, Abby's mom
Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to say goodbye to your special friend. Know that she was met by many tripawd warriors who welcomed her.
Diagnosed with OSA: 5/2/2011 Ampuversary: 5/11/2011 OSA returned in hip: 8/26/2011
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.
So so sorry for your loss of Kiara - what a beautiful girl. You are in our thoughts and prayers and we hope you find peace and comfort in knowing that she is running free now.
Our deepest condolences.
Kami & Angel Mackenzie
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 for your Kiara. We understand the heartache. Cancer is so brutal. May you joy in knowing you got a little extra time with her.
I'm also sorry we hadn't gotten a chance to meet her. But please feel free to come back and join us and tell us about how wonderful she was.
My deepest condolences.
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
I am so sorry to see your post, here we all know the ups and downs this journey gives us, so we know how you must feel now, so sorry for your loss, 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
We are so sorry that you lost Kiara. We have a special place in our heats for Dobes, 3 had shared our home with us through the years. Wishing you peace.
