Dear sweet Brownie, when i saw this tears came to my eyes. Tears for us humans because we have so little time to learn all the good things dogs have to teach us. Tears because your beutiful letter touches my heart so deeply. Your story has been an inspiration for so many. You did sooooo good Brownie! You and your mama have been there for so many of us when we needed it most! Its been an honor to be part of your journey. Thank you for sharing all of that love and inspiration with all of us!

Your mom is right about the rainbow bridge being the most beautiful place in the world. I know it will be hard to leave, but you wont be alone. All the wonderful angels will be waiting to welcome you. There will be cake, sunshine, deer poop and frogs!

Roane would be honored to teach you the perfect method for traveling a frog around the yard in your mouth. Its all about the legs, and mud lots of stinky mud! 😉

We'll take it from here beautiful boy. We promise to love your mama and to help her celibrate your life. We'll send her the biggest hugs, cry with her and smile as we share memories of you.❤🐾

Nancy, i know how much it took to write this beautiful post. You have the biggest heart, and sooo much love. Be good to your self when your ready we're here for you. if you need a shoulder or an ear you know where to find me.

Sending you the biggest hugs! ❤Bev, Moe cat, autumn angel roane & angel dog Gypsy.

         Hugs ❤ Bev, nurse Moe cat, Autumn's Angel Roane & Angel dog Gypsy 🐾

My sweet soulmate Roane was diagnosed with osteo in June of 2019. Had a rear leg amp on July 2nd & crossed the rainbow bridge to be with her sister Gypsy on the first day of Autumn Sept 23 2019.

Thank you all so much for your heart filled replies.

I was up with Brownie for the third night in a row. His hacking gets worse when he lays down. I tried propping a pillow under him, but he is just miserable.

Brownie will begin his journey this evening. My head is prepared but I k ow my heart is not.

I appreciate each and everyone of you and so much appreciate your support!  

When Brownie leaves once I am up to it I will post about Brownie in coping with loss. I read Brownie all of your replies 

Thank you again so much!

My Beautiful Beloved Brownie was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma on February 26, 2019.  With all odds against him he lived an additional one year and eight days with amputation, love, and prayer.  I was honored to be his mom, and I have never been so proud!  He will live forever in my Heart!

Hello Nancy,

You and Brownie have been such an inspiration to all of us. I am crying like a baby right now. I think we can all relate to it so much. Some of us are going through the loss process now, some of us have been through it already. At the end of the day it’s not a journey that any of us want to go through. Brownie knows how much you love him and he is very grateful for this amazing extra year that you guys got together. He will be crossing the rainbow bridge and will be free of all the pain. I truly believe that they never leave us and it’s not a goodbye its a “till we meet again”. My thoughts and prayers are with you today and we all know how difficult this is.

Nancy, you just focus on you and Brownie, okay.  Don't  worry about anything  else.

The time is right.  Brownie is ready.  I'm  sure he has his suitcase packed with toys and treats and chocolate....and pictures of  you and Sassy and Max to show his beloved family to everyone at the Bridge.

We are surrounding  you with our love and our strength.  Your love for Brownie is soooo strong, it will sustain  you as you help Brownie  cross over.  He will see y7our smiling  voice and hear you telling him what a good boy he is as he starts to feel lighter and lighter, and younger and younger and starts running free.❤

Nancy, we are thinking of you and Brownie today, and sending tons of love and hugs across the miles. Yes, Brownie is ready, he wants to be young and eternal and meet his pals who are waiting at the Bridge. Spoil that boy rotten, and tell him we all love him. 

This is a day we all dread and one that rips our hearts out, but it cannot ever overshadow the happy times and beautiful life that Brownie shared with you. He is about so much more than today.

if you want to talk please reach out to any of us OK? We are here for you.

Thank you All! Just a thought. Brownie is leaving earth today on March 5th.  Brownie is featured in the Tripawds Calendar under March.

What are the odds??? In some way I think it's symbolic...

Symbolic and a validation from him that he will always be here watching over you.  He met all the milestones he needed .  He got in the calendar.  Je blew statistics oit pf rhe water.  He got beyond his one year anniversary  and close enoigh to his  birthday to reach 13!

Such a magical Warrior so in touch with his purpose.

Nancy, we are so sorry to hear about Brownie. That day in the park with Brownie & Maggie was nice. Both of them got along which is kind of weird since Maggie does not do well around most dogs. Nancy, Maggie and I had a good time that day and glad that we were able to meet you and Brownie.  Thanks for sharing your story and being an inspiration. He is in a much better, peaceful place now. I know that you miss him very much, but remember all of the good times both of you shared. 

Please feel free to reach out if you want to talk.

luv,

Maggie, Nancy & Dave.

Thank you so much Maggie, Dave, and Nancy. i was so happy when Brownie got to meet Maggie, another dog just like him. I remember when they first met they both looked at each other like they were saying, hey you are missing something too.  i would show everyone their picture and tell them that Maggie was Brownie's new girl friend.

I knew Brownie wasn't feeling well. I prayed for some kind of sign it was time. Two days later Brownie coughed up blood.

Thank you again guys for taking time to meet Brownie. it is something I and I know Brownie will never forget.

Sending huge hugs and lots of love to you and your pack. I know how hard this is. Brownie will always be in your heart, and I know he will show you signs that he is watching over you, I just know it. 

Brownie is running free now, and he is racing with all of our Angels, telling them all the stories about his delicious chocolate and how mama spoiled him rotten sp_hearticon2

Brownie will live on in our hearts and inspire people here not to give up on their pets in dark moments of worry. He will show them that the doctors aren't always right when they say they will only have a month or 2 to live as a tripawd. He beat those odds easily with your love and care.

Thank you Jackie! I love the card! I was numb yesterday, but feeling it today, but just one day at a time.

Brownie's bright light is eterna. in fact, if you look up towards the ravens I'm  pretty sure you'll see Himl star right next to Brow ies as he was welcomed home.

I feel certain his Bridge friends played " When the Sanits Go Marching In" as our Narch Warrior ran proudly towards them!!   And Jerry greeted him with his Purple Heart 💜  made just for Brownie.
