I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
Sending pawsitive thoughts from Ohio, I sure hope they can come up with a solution,Spirit Gus and Dan
My buddy Gus had a left front amputation on April 7, 2010 and lived a great life until July 26,2010
Oh Joanne,
My heart is breaking with you. So so sorry to hear this news. I know this must be so difficult. I can't even imagine. Please know that we are here for you and are keeping you and Tasha in our prayers. I just hope and pray that she is ok.
Sending you lots of golden hugs.

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!
Praying for you and Tasha.
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.
I can only echo what everyone else has already said: I am sending positive thoughts and prayers Tasha's way. Please keep us updated.
Jo Ann and Tasha,
I have been literally afraid to look for any update. Like Diane, I can only echo what everyone else has said previously. However, while I could never really relate just how sad this update makes us feel, I wanted you to know that we are in your corner and are here if we can help in any way. You both have been such an excelent support to this community and you both have been such an inspriational fighters during Tasha's journey. I know that the entire NorCal Tripawd Communty is sending our very most positive thoughts, prayers, and support to you. I will refuse to cry (if that is really possible) in order that you only feel our positive support. You are both very strong, even if there are times like these that test our ability to seen just how great you both have been.
Prayers to you both,
Spirit Cherry's Dad
Thank you everyone for your words of comfort and support, it means so much to us.

Joann and Tasha,
There is nothing I can think of to say except that we are wishing you all the best. You are in our thoughts.

Daisy earned her wings on Oct 22, 2011 at 14 years old
She is now the official greeter at the rainbow bridge
Everyone is guaranteed a welcome sniff and Dalmatian smile
Well, I can spot the problem, she needs a pink bandage! Everything is better in pink! 
Seriously, I hope with all of my heart that it's not any of the above. We need Tasha to be okay for us too. She has been such an inspiration to so many here.

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.
Well dagnabbit. I am literally on the verge of tears here now, I feel like I know you guys and this is not the news I wanted to hear. She's so beautiful with her big smile in the picture. Thank goodness that she is clueless, just happy to be out of that hospital again and home with mommy, huh? And leave it to Tasha to be extraordinary and have the issue that is stumping everyone. Hang in there and HOLD ON TO HOPE that it's solvable! Don't get ahead of yourself, there's always plenty of time to dwell on bad news, but you haven't gotten bad news yet. You don't know what this is.
Give that girl a hamburger for Easter! 😀
Hugs,
Dawn
