This is for Abby's mom and dad.  A little something to remember "Abby Kisses".

 

Her Retired AvatarComet - 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.

This is so so so absolutely perfect. And although it makes me cry now, it also makes me smile. Love the pictures you chose - especially some of the funny ones - like her rolling on her back in the dirt. She was such a silly baby. 

I know it will be all smiles some day in the future when we watch it.

We will really treasure this. Thank you so much!

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.

Lucy's front right leg was amputated 12/19/11. Thankfully there was no tumor, but her nerves were found to be degenerative.  Life as a tripawd is Lucy's new adventure!!

Awww.  I know it's not easy at first to watch.  But I'm so glad you like it.  And honored to be able to be a part of Abby's journey.

Oh, Travis Ray - I am most definitely your special Angel girl. I am also most definitely going to whisper into those big beautiful ears while you sleep. Then, you will dream that we are chasing each other... and I will let you catch me. 😉 When your Mom sees your feet twitching, she will know you are chasing me in your dreams.

You are going to have good dreams you handsome boy.
Sweet angel kisses,
Angel Abby

That was so precious to watch.  I, being the emotional sap that I am, even shed a few tears (and of course a few smiles too). I especially loved watching Abby give her Dad kisses - what a beautiful sweet girl.  She really is an angel.   Beautiful video Ge'Lena - once again!

Kami, Angel Mackenzie, Kobe and Scarlett

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!

Comet you always know how to pick just the right photos to go with great music. What a sweet tribute!

Abby's eyes could make us melt into butter. We will always remember that about her. xoxo
