Today Charon - Gayle's mom (lovingly known as her sister) is having surgery today and is bravely fighting her own battle with cancer. Gayle is going to help her, just like Sister Charon has helped Gayle battle her's. Gayle has already been an inspiration to all of us and now Charon will be also.
We'll hopefully get a message tonight from Charon to let us know how her surgery went. She has a lot of courage going through this with her pup and now herself.

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.
We are sending lots of pawsitive thoughts, and many prayers your way! Please keep us posted. Didn't realize that there were Tripawd scarves available, will have to get one for Chloe.
Paws up!

"Going Dog" def: living every day in the moment
"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are."

Praying for and thinking of you, Charon.

Best wishes Charon for a speedy recovery! Glad to hear the surgery went well.
Hugs and sloppy Sadie kisses,
Lisa & Sadie
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.
