It is with a very heavy heart that I share with you that Remy crossed the rainbow bridge on May 30th. He fought hard and made every day count, but the cancer would not give up. Remy was diagnosed in November 2018 with Osteosarcoma in his left front leg. It was amputated within a week of his diagnosis. We tried a cancer diet as well as homeopathic remedies prescribed by a Vet but a new cancer formed in his right front leg. It was not Osteosarcoma, but I think it was this new cancer that may have spread and effected his neurologic system. Remy was a brave warrior who did not let his 3 leg status prevent him from running and jumping up into his daddy’s truck to go for long rides which he loved. One of my last special memories was me helping Remy to get up on my bed and snuggle next to me and take a nap one afternoon. I treasure that afternoon and replay it often in my mind. In the last 10 days of life Remy’s condition declined. He could no longer get up and we were carrying him outside to lay in the cool grass and to potty. He could no longer use his back legs to hold himself up and I saw in his eyes that he wanted to go. The black thick lab tail that used to thump whenever he saw me or his daddy, just stopped thumping. I could not and would not allow him to suffer. Remy has given me so much unconditional love and he now needed me to do the same for him. It is breaking my heart to write this note. Each time I write about it or talk about it, I relive it. My heart is broken. Remy left this life in my arms here at his house with his Daddy and fur-brother Freddy all right by his side. Our Vet, God Bless her, came to our home so we could peacefully say goodbye to our best buddy Remy. He has now crossed the rainbow bridge and will wait for us there. I know he is enjoying his time running again. Please take a long moment to love and kiss your dog even a little longer today. Thank you all for encouragement and for the Tripawds community just for being here.
Love, Remy’s Mom (Lynn)
