Remembering Tripod Zeus, Our Hero

Zeus, we are thinking of you and your Mommy more than ever today, one month after you left us.

The Tripawds family misses you so much. But we are comforted in knowing that you are racing around with all our Tripawd friends, healthy and free, somewhere at the Rainbow Bridge.

Much love to you and your Mom.

-Spirit Jerry, Rene, Jim & Wyatt Ray

We miss you Zeus.  You (and now your spirit) are a big part of our lives.

Hi everyone - Wow - Codie Rae  great shot of me racing through the clouds !!  Thanks for posting it for everyone Jerry!!!

You know, I've stayed a tripawd even though God offered me my leg back, because I am soooooo proud of being one and what mommy and I accomplished together - it's pretty amazing what love can do eh?

Mommy is starting to come out of her shell a little bit...who would have thunk that she would be hemit - like?? As chatty as she can be 😉

I am pushing her to get on getting on like I have taught her over the years (especially the last year and half or so) and she misses everyone at tripawds...she has just been sooooo tired with working and grieving and focusing on Buddy (and of course Daddy too) that she has been collapsing in bed much earlier than usual (I know this because I watch her a lot to make sure she is OK). She didn't realize that the grieving process would be SO EXHAUSTING!!! 

Anyway - I'm doing well and have SO many new friends thanks to this great place of Jerry's and Wyatt's and I see that mommy is doing a little better learning how to get through the day. There have actually been a few where she didn't break down in sobs - GOOD JOB MOM!!! We don't want our pawrents to be sad, but we understand that they miss us so much...I'm mean, c'mon - we are awesome fur kids right?!?!

Much love to everyone and thank you for remembering me on my day of crossing.

Spirit Zeus, but maybe Angel Zeus...I'm not sure which I like better yet 😉

I'm so sorry about your angel Zeus... My heart aches for your loss... I can just imagine what you are going through... I lost 2 of my other dogs in the past 10 years... I still have tears whenever I think of them... Cry Now I'm trying to keep my Jake around a while longer. He is 19 days post op, and is doing better each day...

My thoughts are with you and your family during this sad time... Zeus is in heaven how... running with all the other angel tripawds!

Jake's Mom

Jake, 10yr old golden retriever (fractured his front right leg on 9/1, bone biopsy revealed osteosarcoma on 9/10, amputation on 9/17) and his family Marguerite, Jacques and Wolfie, 5yr old german shepherd and the newest addition to the family, Nala, a 7mth old Bengal mix kittie. Jake lost his battle on 11/9/2009, almost 8 weeks after his surgery. We will never forget our sweet golden angel… http://jakesjou.....ipawds.com ….. CANCER SUCKS!

I remember when I first joined and I saw that picture of Zeus running in the snow (and now in the clouds) and I remember thinking, "man, that is the prettiest doggie I've ever seen!".  You must miss him so much, but you must also be a very proud mom 🙂

I just learned of Zeus' passing Heather and I am so very sorry.  Zeus just seemed invincible to me- perhaps that sounds silly but I thought he would beat the cancer!  He will always live on forever in spirit of course and what an amazing spirit he has!!!  You have given all of us so much love, comfort and support during the most difficult times of our lives.  May you continue to heal Heather with beautiful Spirit (or Angel?) Smile Zeus by your side and know that we all love you guys very much and thank you for being an incredible support to us all!!!   

Luv Spirit Jake, Smooch, Baby Gus & Mom (Sherri)

Heather,

As I am mourning Emily I have been reflecting on those who have gone before her.  I wanted to check in with you and see how you are doing.  Zeus has not been forgotten.

Debra

Debra & Emily, a five year old doberman mix, who was diagnosed with an osteosaecoma. She had a right rear leg amputation on May 19, 2009. On November 10, 2009 she earned her wings and regained her fourth leg.
