Valentine is gone.

We had to help Valentine over the rainbow bridge yesterday morning.  She had developed acute pain in her hips.  We tried to treat it but it became too much for her to bear.  We will never know if the pain was due to osteo spreading somewhere or arthritis or wear from being a tripawd.

She was graceful and stoic and, as many of you know from your own experiences, will be missed and missed and missed.  She made everything better.

We are grateful to have found Tripawds.com back during the initial shock of her diagnosis back in February 2015.  You offered us support and guidance and inspiration.  She made it to 28 months and had a wonderful quality of life.   She was initially diagnosed on February 12th, two days before she turned 8 years old.  We were full of joy to celebrate her 10th birthday a few months ago. Thank you.
