terribly. Every day. I am looking forward to a new pup in the house.. it will bring happiness and smiles. But.. I miss him.
I think I am using this blog on Tripawds as something that I can come back to and read when I need to warm my heart with my handsome guy. It’s something that I can read.. and re-live.. and remember how proud we were of him. This is a place when I can post how I feel about him without everyone on my Facebook knowing about it.. lol We all share a common bond, understanding and love for our furbabies here.. it’s a different part of our heart that they steal because they have gone through some pretty amazing adventures. I have some friends who just don’t understand how deep that bond is when you have gone through the Tripawd journey….
Yea.. I miss MY Tripawd. I miss…
– the thump thump thump of him coming down the ramp into the bedroom
– him wandering off at 11pm to his bed because.. it’s bedtime.
– him greeting me at the door when I come home from work.
– him sticking his head into any bags that we bring in the house, Mr. Nosey Rosey trying to find a treat for him….
– his tail wags
– him putting his head on the couch and looking at you to say.. “can I come up now?”
– the jangle of his collar when he hopped along
– him sitting up and giving me his one remaining paw for a pig ear
– walking/hopping in front of us with his head looking back and that tail waggin cause he was the happiest dawg in the morning even though we were dragging our feet to the shower…
– watching him lying at the end of the deck on squirrel patrol
– his rowr, rowr, rowr sound he used to make when he got excited…
– his squeaky toy that he used to carry around and bite to make it squeak
– him lying on the bathmat outside the shower
and most of all.. I miss his farts…
2 weeks ago tonight.. I was snuggling with my pup on the mattress on the floor.. I do wish that I could turn back time for one more snuggle.. one more stroke of his soft head and kiss him one more time between the eyes.
I have all those memories.. I know.. but the pain is so very very fresh….
Yup.. I miss him…. and I will always love him.
hey christine its destiny sending u licks and cuddles im sorry u lost your friend he sounds like he was part of ur family for a long time im just like that to nosy and begging to jump on the couch with my big sad eyes
Keep ’em coming! Such lovely images. They will live on furever. He was a special, special guy. HUGS
Oh, I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the pain you’re going through. You’ve got me in tears just from reading this. We all understand the special bond of a pawrent and a dog who is a tripawd or has cancer. The bond is 100x stronger between Barret and myself since diagnosis.
Never forget him, but I hope that you’re able to find another, dog to share the love of a dog again.
“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. – Anonymous”
So many things to miss… even the farts. I’m sitting here trying to memorize kermit’s scent & his silky ears & his smile but it won’t stick in my head. 🙁
Memories seem such a pale substitute for wet doggie kisses dripping with water from the toilet. I can’t believe how much I undervalued those. 🙁
So sorry for your loss, but so happy to hear all of those loving thoughts and memories that you pulled from your heart. A good dog is never truly gone, they live in our hearts forever. Your time with him was invaluable and will always be remembered. Please take comfort in knowing that he is running free at the Rainbow Bridge now and will be there for you again one day.
I know you love him so much Chris. I am so glad that you have this site. I am the same way you are. I post very little on FB about Sassy, I will sometimes do general updates but not very often. I mostly do them here. Because this is my “family” we have that bond whether its cancer or not. we all know that hop. Labsrus said it they are never really gone but live in our hearts. But my heart is breaking too.

Yes, we are a family….a family that understands the love of our pets like no other ..and understands the inconsolable grief we feel when we re no longer together in the physical form.
I’m sooooo glad you keep coming here….here where you and all the wonderful memories of sweet Frank n’ farter are guarded and protected and held sacred. Here where feelings of love for Frank are understood and honored.
Thank you for being here and for giving that boy the most incredible life any dog…or cat…could ever hope for:-)
We love you,
Salt and Happy Hannah
Just wanted to add how beautiful those photos are. That one of him under the tree branch……so very, very nice.
Look forward to pictures of the puppy Frank picked out for you.

Chris – Know that we are always here to listen and it’s OK to miss him this much and it will be OK forever to do that. This is a family we didn’t plan on joining, but are blessed every day to have found them. Big hugs your way and can’t wait to see and hear that smile on your face when that baby comes home.
Thinking of you,
Luanne & Shooter
