Oh, Karen, this is such heartbreaking news. I am SO sorry for your loss. What a strong, strong Tri-pug she was and with such a strong mom to help, guide and love her through her journey.
My sincerest condolences, Karen. To both you and to Tani.
Many, many hugs.
Carmen, Catie and Riley

So sorry Karen,
Maggie again has 4 legs although I know you would rather have her here with only 3. I wish I had your strength. Maggie gives us all real hope and thank you for sharing Maggie with us.

Karen, my heart is breaking for you. Maggie was a such a strong little trooper that beat so many odds that gave us all much hope and inspiration with all that she went through for such a long period of time. I too can picture her going from lap to lap snoring, snorting and getting so much love from those who went before her. Please know that Angel Tehya was right there beside her sleeping on her families laps as well even though she was a Golden one of her favorite places was on her Dad's lap!
Sending you a huge hug and my sincere sympathy!

Karen, the Tripawd community mourns today, we have lost one of our greatest, inspawrational pups.
Any words we can come up with seem so meaningless at a time like this. All we can say is, she will be deeply missed by all of us. Maggie's laid-back style and ability to cope with adversity will inspire others here forever. She has taught us all so well.
Kick back Maggie, let the great big universe and your spirit family spoil you rotten, you've earned it.
Much, much love to you Karen, and Tani. May Maggie's spirit guide you in your journeys, and all of us here at Tripawds.

(((Karen))) We are so sorry to hear of Maggie's passing. She was and still is an inspawration to all Tripawds, everywhere. Her story is one that will always be remembered.
May Maggie find a lap to lay on until you find each other once again.

Chuy, showing everyone that Tripawds do everything 3 times better than regular dogs!
My heart is truly broken for you. Maggie was such an inspiration for so many of us; she will be missed by all. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Today, we celebrate the life of a fallen hero – a true survivor, a fighter, proof that great things really do come in small packages. Run free sweet Maggie. Your Spirit shall live on forever.

Oh Karen, I am beside myself. It's so hard to read about these little fighters' journeys ending, it brings everything back. I struggle with the loss of Raven all the time. Time does soften the blow, but I think of him every day. Maggie and you were local and we came close to meeting on two occasions, it's so sad to think how much I missed out. My heart goes out to you. You are so inspirational in all you've done for your little Maggie, and she leaves a legacy in your posts and blog.
You are in my thoughts and prayers...

Rottie Raven, osteosarcoma at 8-1/2 years old, amputation in October '09 and in February '10 due to liver mets he went back to heaven where he came from. raven.tripawds.com
Now I have Miles, rottie mix amputee from a shelter and traveled 1500 miles to find his way here through the Rescue Railroad thanks to tripawds.com. miles.tripawds.com
So sorry, Karen 
I'll tell Spirit Yoda to corral a spirit bunny over Maggie the Rabbit Hunter's way so she can attack 'em like the warrior she is - between snoozin' in laps. Thanks for being here to tell her inspiring story.
Gerry has been a tripawd since 12/16/2009.
He was a shelter dog with a mysterious past and an irrepairable knee injury.
Videos and pics of Gerry's pawesomeness can be found at: http://gerry.tripawds.com

Maggie was one tough little warrior! I know how much her loss will hurt but over time it does start to get better. You did such a great job keeping her going for so many years. She is truly an inspiration to big and little dogs alike.
