Please except my most heartfelt condolences. I'm truly sorry that you have had to say farewell to your sweet boy, Oslo. He was obviously very very special to so many people.
RIP sweet Oslo,

Suzanne and Marc-André,
I am so very sorry for your loss....one of the cards I received from my vet's office had a great note in it and at the end, a quotation, author unknown:
"A loyal companion is hard to find, hard to lose and impossible to forget"
I am so deeply sorry for what you are now going through....cancer does indeed suck.
What heartbreaking news to hear of your loss of Oslo. I loved seeing his handsome face on your avatar every time I would come across one of your posts. What a blessing that he was able to do the things he loved during his last weekend with you.
Licks and Leans,
Queen Nova and mom Sue
Dane Mom Sue at nova.tripawds.com and Mom to Beautiful Great Dane Queen Nova, a Blind Tripawd, who kicked cancer's butt from 11/08-03/13. The Queen is Spirit Nova now, but her legacy lives on here at Tripawds!
I'm just so sorry for your loss.
Oslo was such a handsome boy, so loved and he loved you completely.
I always say that it hurts so much with the loss, because we love them SO MUCH.
Big hugs,
Take care,
Denise

What a magnificent dog.........Oslo, may you run fast and play hard at the Rainbow Bridge until your mom & dad are reunited with you. And may they find peace and comfort in the knowledge that they gave you such a gift of setting you free from a tired body...and that your soul lives on and you are whole and just waiting to see them again!
Thank you very much again everyone. My lack of words does not mean that I do not appretiate your messages. You are all so kind!
Tomorrow morning, we will go to Oslo's cremation. I am a bit nervous as I do not know what to expect at all. 
Oh, I am so sorry to learn of Oslo's passing!
My sincere if belated condolences. His spirit will live on in your heart.

It's been almost 2 weeks... How are you guys doing? I've been thinking of you... and knowing how much your hearts are aching... It's still very soon... but one day... maybe weeks or months from now... your hearts will hurt just a little less...
I don't know what else to say to make your pain go away... Just know that you're in my thoughts and prayers...

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.
Dear Suzanne and Marc-Andre: We've been out of touch with the Tripawds community for awhile, and we're so sad to see Oslo has left this world, our Northern friend. Remember when Peanut called him hunky Oslo? We're so thankful you had eleven post-amputation months with your sweetheart.
Run free sweet Oslo!
Love, Eve, Romeo, and family
