I am not very good at this and the tears are not helping. Had I really been prepared, this would have been part of my posting of the night of December 29th, 2009. A Short Photo Tribute to my Cherry. The two ladies are my wife Emily, who is also taking this rather hard, and Cherry's wonderful breeder Patty Moulthrop during one of Cherry's two visits as a TriPawd. Patty has been extremely supportive throughout this journey.
Cherry's Short Photo Tribute
Tears are rolling here right along with you, Bob. This was beautiful. And the music was PERFECT. What a wonderful photo tribute.
You are in our thoughts and prayers here in Michigan.
Sue and Nova
Dane Mom Sue at nova.tripawds.com and Mom to Beautiful Great Dane Queen Nova, a Blind Tripawd, who kicked cancer's butt from 11/08-03/13. The Queen is Spirit Nova now, but her legacy lives on here at Tripawds!
The combination of the music and the pictures are so beautiful, I wasn't prepared to get all tearful again. You can tell she had such a wonderful life.
That was very, very moving and beautiful. I know that was not easy for you to do but I'm so glad you did. I'm touched deeply. My heart hurts for you and Emily.
I'm so sorry -
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.
Bob,
Thank you for the wonderful gift, Purple was her color!!
Please give my love to your wife, Emily.
Sending you love and care, Ginny & Paris
Grateful for every moment we had with Paris…..no regrets!
Honoring her life by opening our hearts & home to Addy!

That was a beautiful and touching celebration of Cherry's life. It provoked more tears of course, but her joy and your love for her shine through. My thoughts and prayers continue with you and Emily.

Dear Bob and Emily: This is a beautiful tribute to Miss Cherry. And the perfect music (I am a Simon and Garfunkel fan). We love the chubby little puppy pictures. What a glorious life Cherry lived. We can tell she was a happy and very proud girl (Very impressive posture!).
Our hearts are with you, Eve and Romeo
Bob, Your photo tribute was just absolutely precious. The music you chose was so moving I was in tears yet again, but this time I did have a smile on my face through my tears celebrating Cherry's life. Cherry had a wonderful life with you and Emily and she will certainly be missed 
I will keep you and Emily in my thoughts and prayers.
I just watched your video tribute to Cherry... Such a beautiful dog... What a beautiful tribute to her... Such a wonderful celebration of her life... and your love for her!
Angel 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!
Cherry, if it is pawsible to smile and cry at the same time, that's what we were doing here. What an exceptional tribute for an exceptional girl.
The photo of you in front of the Tetons made us stop and catch our breath. And we love how cool and vogue you look in all of the pretty sweaters your Dad made for you.
You will always be in our hearts.
