Shanna, I'm so sorry to hear of Trouble's passing.  But, as others have already said, she beat cancer, and that is no small feat.  I am so glad you were able to spend so much time with Trouble these past few days.  I have to tell you, John and I had two full weeks with Max when we let him go.  We didn't know at the time that his health was going to decline so quickly, but we both feel those last weeks we spent with him made his passing just a bit easier for us.  We never wanted him to go, but all the happy memories of him and his life with us got us through it.  I hope the same for you.  Trouble was a brave girl, a fighter, and one of the very few who kicked cancer's ass.  Things are hard for you now, but hopefully knowing these things will help you through this sad time.  John and I are sending our deepest condolences your way; you are in our thoughts.

Shanna,

Trouble seemed like she was always a part of Tripawds, and I am not sure it will be the same without her. The Oaktown Pack will light a candle for her tonight and many nights to come.

This news made my heart hurt!

 My sincerest sympathies and hopes for healing hearts, strength and serenity!

Many thanks for sharing her with us!

I will not say goodbye to Trouble - you see, she has touched all of our lives and therefore will forever be living through us in what we have learned and how we will live.  She lived an amazing physical life and will continue to do so as the newest invisible dog.  By the way, Jack just told me she gave him a kiss...I always knew they were meant for each other!!!!! Best of wishes to you and your family.

shanna, we send our heartfelt sympathy to you, bob and duke.  trouble was such an inspiration to all of us, a brave girl who showed us how to live life with dignity.  i'll never look at a green bean again, without thinking of her. 

love never ends.

Trouble was the true hero of this club no one ever wants to join. She lost her leg to cancer, but not her life. The loss of a friend is a terrible thing, but know that with her passing, she became what all our three-legged friends aspire to be – a dog who beat cancer and died as every dog should – of grand, dignified old age after a long and happy life.
Rest in peace, Trouble. You earned it.

Not that you had any doubt what you and Trouble mean to this group, but look at the people who have emerged from the shadows within a few hours of your posting: Invisible Jack, Jake and Cherry.

I always loved that name: Trouble the Tripawd.

Shanna - I am so sorry for your loss, although as Jerry says the words pale. I know you were blessed to see Trouble to live to an older age relative to most of the tripawd clan (but never old enough), but having a dog age still does not make losing them any easier and Trouble's troubles seem to have come up quite suddenly. I also thought the bedrock of our group would be with us for much much longer.

Take care of yourselves. Trouble was an especially smart gal to have adopted such a wonderful family.
