We are so sorry to hear this, this is such heartbreaking news. As hard as the decision is, you are doing what's right for Honey and your pack, and all of us here are sending lots of love your way at this difficult time.
Give her lots of smooches from the Tripawds community, and tell her all the Spirit Tripawds will be there waiting when she is ready.
We are thinking of you. {{{hugs}}}}

Life is good, so very, very good!!! Gayle enjoyed each and every moment of each and every wonderful day (naps included). She left this world December 12, 2011 – off on a new adventure.
Love Never Ends
To Honey's family,
Don't ever forget that every moment matters...not only for our Tripawd heroes but for all of us. Honey is blessed with a loving & caring family. Know that you are in our thoughts during this tough time.

Grateful for every moment we had with Paris…..no regrets!
Honoring her life by opening our hearts & home to Addy!
I think this has to be the hardest part of your journey together. I loved and lost my rottie mix last november after many years together. It felt so sudden even though I knew her time was coming. I must say it is just a couple months short of a year since she has been gone and I can now tell her stories with love and laughter and much less sorrow.
I want to offer you that comfort, that it will be terribly painful now but later on you will have so many wonderful memories to take out and share again. We are so sorry for your pain and pray for peaceful and loving moments for whatever time you have left. We will tip our ice cream spoons in Honey's honor tonight.

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
Saying goodbye is always so difficult. Honey is a brave girl that will continue to be an inpiration in her spirit life as she is in her physical life. My thoughts and prayer are with you and your family.

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.

Thank you everyone for your kind and caring words, thoughts and prayers. We're all reading your posts. . . with tears. . .and know we're not going through this alone. I wish Honey could meet you - she'd jump all over you and lick you like crazy! She loves making new friends . . . she's on a first-name basis with the UPS & FedEx guys, the gardeners, mailman, etc.
Honey had a good day yesterday. She's on pain meds now and was able to move around a bit more. She had a good appetite and she's checking the 'magic fence' for treats (a very sweet neighbor throws her doggie treats). We'll see what today holds. We're loving and spoiling her and trying to stay strong and positive.
We think we only have a few days. The vet said that we may have 3 weeks but we won't prolong her life if she's suffering in any way. My niece put together a video of our Honey Monster which we'll post real soon.

Dx Osteosarcoma 3/31/10. Amputation 7/21/10. Honey put up a valiant fight and lost her battle 9/22/10. Missing her and treasuring 9 years with our Honeygurl.
Our hearts break everytime we read a post like this. Honey is an absolutely beautiful little piggy - so convincing as a golden. Take advantage of the time you have left. Love her, spoil her, takes pictures and videos.
We are sending you hugs and sloppy kisses to pas on to Honey,
Ginger and her pacl.
Happy to read that Honey had a good day. You're in our prayers!
That's the thing about cancer, it really teaches you not to take tomorrow for granted. Give Honey lotsa love from us, k?
