I am so sorry to see this. Our last couple of days were tough too, so I know what that last roller coaster ride feels like. Shelby is with a huge gathering of tripawds at the bridge. I know she was welcomed in grand tripawd style, and will have lots of company until you see her again.
You will be in my thoughts as you face the upcoming days without her. The pictures are beautiful, so full of life and joy. It is apparent she had a happy life with you.
RIP sweet Shelby. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.
The November Five - Spirits Max, Cherry, Tika, Trouble & Nova. 11/2008 - 3/2013 An era ends as Queen Nova crossed the Bridge.
Oh sweetest Shelby - what a loved girl you were. The photos are wonderful! I'm so, so sorry of her passing, no matter how we prepare ourselves it's always too soon.
You will always shine in our hearts beautiful girl.
Huge hugs to you dear Pam.

Karen and Spirit Magnum
Magnum: 30th May 2002 to 5th May 2012. Lost her back left leg to osteosarcoma on 5th Sep 2011. Lung mets found on 20th Mar 2012 but it was bone mets in the hip that ended her brave battle. Magnum's motto - "Dream as if you'll live for ever, live as if you'll die today" (James Dean). Loyal, loving, courageous and spirited to the end. My beloved heart dog, see her memoirs from Rainbow Bridge ...... http://princess.....pawds.com/
Pam,
I am crying for you and with you. I cant even find the words right now. I am so sorry that Shelby lost her battle. Shelby was a fighter all the way to the end. Shelby was lucky to have you as her Mommy. I could tell how much you loved her and fought for her. Shelby will always be with you in memories and in your heart. You will always love her and she will always be your little girl. Again, I am so sorry and you will be in my thoughts.

“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace.” ― Milan Kundera
Tropical Storm Shelby rages on. This weather report just came in from her pack...
Pink was Shelby's *signature color*. I told her as she was slipping out of her body that she needed to send me signs that I would not miss that let me know she had arrived safe and sound on the Other Side.
That night, we had the most glorious PINK sunset. And you might see something else in the photo. To me, it's my Tropical Storm Shelby, letting me know loud and clear that she's fine.
Rock on, Shelby........rock on.
Rock on indeed sweet girl.

So sorry Pam for the loss of Shelby. She was such a beautiful dog and very blessed to have you for her mom. Wishing you the best during this difficult time.
Kathy & Tasha
Tasha was a German ShepherdBorder Collie mix who was diagnosed with OSA at age 8. On December 29, 2011 she had her front right leg amputated and received 4 rounds of chemo. Sadly and suddenly Tasha became sick and we discovered she had liver cancer that had spread to her lung. After almost 19 months, Tasha earned her wings on July 17, 2013. No regrets and never forgotten.
