Oh you guys! You don't need to thank me! It was a project of love! But thank you for all the comments!
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.
Bravo! Applawse! Kudos! Now someone get me a tissue because I'm bawling all over the place!
Your videos are always so beautiful but this one is the most beautiful of them all. To take the time to remember so many of our heroes this way is one of the kindest things anyone has ever done. And don't say "it was nothing" because I know this had to have taken you a long time to get everyone's pics together.
I loved being able to look back and remember all of these beautiful, special dogs who have touched our lives. This tribute really is an heirloom for the community.
Thank you so much for all you do for us Ge'Lena, how lucky we are to have you here.

What a beautiful video! A true labor of love....thank you so much!
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.

I should have known that I would need a box of tissues before I started watching this... Beautiful, sweet memories of some really awesome dogs. Nice work, Ge'Lena.

It's things like this that you do that make you a special person, and why I am so glad to have found this family, watching this is like a reunion for me, since alot of those guys were here when we first came aboard, but also the ones we got to know once we were here. Thank you so much for a great tribute, A special Paws Up to you Ge'Lena, 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
I'd really like to write more, but I can't see the keyboard because I have lots of tears in my eyes! What a beautiful tribute!
Ge'Lena, I just don't have the words to express to you how I feel. You are one-of-a-kind....sort of like Rocket Monkeybutt.
Thank you for all that you do for this community. This is absolutely the best group of people!!!!

I watched the video this morning. By the end I had tears in my eyes. These dogs really are amazing and special. I feel blessed that God chose each of us to be a guardian of a tripawd dog. I know my life has changed because of this experience. It has made me appreciate the small stuff and really not take life for granted and enjoy each day, like I know Cadence is. Thank you again Cometdog. I loved the song you chose too.
Cadence Faye: Born 10/30/04, stepped into our hearts 12/23/2004. Rear leg tumor found 7/24/11 by mom and dad, Xray on 7/25/11, Osteosarcoma suspected 7/26/11, amputation 7/29/11, Carboplatin started 8/23. Met free so far!
Wow! Thank you so much for the video...and for including Skyler & Chloe. I now have to head to the airport with swollen eyes! It really is a beautiful tribute.
Skyler – 10 year old Golden Retriever. Diagnosed with Mast Cell Tumor on 2-26-10. Right rear leg amputated on 3-4-10. Crossed Rainbow Bridge on 6-11-10. Chloe – Joined her sister on 4-4-11, due to hemangiosarcoma. The beloved Golden Girls are now back together.

Thank you for doing this; it is such a nice way to remember all of the wonderful dogs that I have met on this site. I am going to burn a copy to DVD right now! Also thank you for including both Tazzie and Kona (even thought she wasn't a tripawd).
Pam
Thank you!
Spirit Samson was Spirit Tripawd Daisys four legged "brother" and ruled as the self proclaimed head of the Monkeybutt Federations East Coast Division. Lady Chunky Monkey stayed from Oct 2011 and left for the bridge in Apr 2012. Miss Perdy is left and has some big pawprints to fill.

What an incredibly beautiful video! Just brought so many tears to my eyes - seeing so many of our tripawd heroes so regal and loving life. I am truly touched by this and can't get over how much of an impact each one of our tripawd heroes have made on us. Truly wonderful. Thank you Ge'Lena for such a thoughtful and caring gift to all of us.

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!
Ge'Lena,
Great job on a very ambitious project!! Capturing all those photos, pulling it together, with all the knowledge of the story behind each and every one of those photos was nothing short of Herculean. I need to thank you specifically for including laughing Charites. She was in the truck (alone enough to make her laugh), on her way to the local Baskins & Robbins for a soft serve ice cream to celebrate her turning twelve and her one year ampuversary. The very next day we took celebratory sheet cakes to each of the two offices of her primary caregivers during her TriPawd journey. A wonderful memory to be sure!!
You also were an inspiration for me to get moving on a project not yet completed. On September 6, 2010, I completed Cherry’s Memorial DVD but have never been satisfied with the quality of presentation when compared to the actual photos. So – on Friday, I purchased a Blu-ray Burner, got a new hard disk, installed Windows 7, installed my latest Roxio Creator, and went to work on a High Definition version of the memorial. I completed the project on Saturday and am very pleased with the results – a High Definition presentation of Cherry’s Memorial Tribute displayed on a Big Screen. Even the 25% of her photos that were scanned from actual prints (prior to our digital camera) look better in 1080p. Thanks for the inspiration. In January, I was told crudely, rudely, viciously, and vindictively that Miss Cherry is forever gone and would become only a fading memory. NOT while I have this HD tribute, and continue to raise thousands annually in her memory for animal care charities. I will keep her memory near my heart and just have to put up with the tears.
Cherry’s Dad
You are so welcome Bob. I feel bad because I couldn't find anything but the small picture of Cherry but I had hoped it would work well enough since she and you were a big inspiration to many of us.
I look forward to seeing your memorial video and hope you will let us all see it soon.
