A tough day for you, I know.  Thinking of you and your beautiful Rio.  Where is the video?

Scout: January 31, 2002 to November 7, 2011

Scout's diagnosis was "poorly differentiated sarcoma"; amputation 1/11/2011.  Scout enjoyed 9 fantastic years on 4 legs and 9 glorious months on 3 legs.  If love alone could have saved you…

Love the avatar! That girl's always ready for a pawty! She and Abby and the other warriors that went before them are celebrating big time today!

MBBunnyRita will get a special treat today in honor of The Woo.
Hugs and Rita nose-pokes,
Jackie

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!

What a great video - perfect tribute to a beautiful girl! We are thinking of you and know that this must be a pretty tough day for you.  What a wonderful life she had.  Our thoughts are with you.

Kami, Angel Mackenzie, Kobe and Scarlett

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!

That is an Awesome video!! I just love it. The song goes great of course. I can tell you had so many good times with her. Rio looked like such a happy Dog. You have wonderful pictures also. Valentina was very hard to photograph. She always turned away from the camera or ran away. I still tried though. I know this was a tough day for you. Making this video was a great thing to help you through it. Still praying for your healing and comfort.
