Please, please when you are up to it, tell us what happened.
I just can't believe it. I'm so 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.

My heart aches in a way that words cannot describe.
There is no need, we totally understand. In the three years since we started these forums, we have heard of just a few dogs who did not survive surgery, or for very long thereafter. It is always very tragic, and we can only imaging how devastated you must feel. Please know that the whole community is thinking of you during this difficult time.
Thank you for taking the time to update us. By sharing your experience you are certain to help others prepare for the worst when facing the same tough times for their own dogs. Peace.

I am just now reading your post and the sequence of events and am truly shocked to hear about your Jett. So so sorry...this must be just devastating. This is a very sad update indeed. My heart goes out to you. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Kami (Mackenzie's Mom)
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!
This is so very shocking. We are deeply, deeply sorry.
Our heart aches for you and Jett. An entire community is in mourning.
Please know we are here when you want to talk OK?

What a horrible shock. My heart breaks for you, you've been through so much. Words cannot bring Jett back, nor make everything all better, but each of us here feels the pain when we lose a tripawd warrior. I consider Jett one of our warriors, and write this with the tears that accompany all other goodbye to a warrior post.
Many, many hugs and good thoughts to you as you struggle to heal from this horrible tragedy.
RIP sweet Jett, Run free at Rainbow Bridge.
