In memory of Marcie.....Our group is dedicated to dogs with osteosarcoma & other bone cancers and to their guardians who fight bravely. It is a place for support, comfort, guidance, learning, encouragement and hope. It was inspired by Rowdy Roddy Piper, a Rottweiler who lost his fight to bone cancer on September 2, 2004.

This week's Hero is Micki's angel Solar: "Solar was born on August 1, 1998. Shortly before his third birthday, he joined our fur family. Solar quickly became my primary competition dog. As a therapy dog he visited nursing homes. His favorite things were puppies and babies. In December 2008 he underwent amputation for a fractured femur from the bone cancer, followed by chemotherapy. On June 26th we sent him to wait for us at the Bridge. The first thing on my list of blessings this Thanksgiving is the time God gave me with Solar. I love you and miss you with all my heart."

We honor the heroic angels who have gone on ahead since November 2008, and the many who went before them: Hero-Cinders-Millie-Daisy-Nala-Sampson-Gretel-Cheyenne-Dusty-Luckey-Sky-Simba-Diesel-Duke-Brutus-Tuddy-Boston-Jerry-Bear-Molly-Lakota-Sayrah-Greta-Crispy-Parker-Roxy-Smoochie-Rocky-Granite-Raven-Daisy-Chester-Duchovny-Mack Daddy-PreFontaine-Meatball-Tazman-Tara-Bud-Gandy-Aspen-Maydl-Harley-Savannah-Baloo-Marley-Bosco-Bianca-Chrissy-Rocky-Emily-Shadow-Bear-Nigel-Kady-Baby-CoCoa-Dazy-Nyla-Monte-Kobi-Shasta-Cluny-Blondie-Brian-Debo-Maggie-CoCo-Cassius-Cedric-Max-Rondo-Autumn-Sasha-CJ-Clementine-Carson-Masset-Jack-Molly-Felix-Kaela-Mattingly-Remi-Fly-Billie Jo-Cooper-Hazel-Carver-Timer-London-Sally-Gretsky-Sampson-Beau-Mrs.Dickens-Daisy-Chee-Khobi-Lucky-Jake-Guinevere-Max-Chocky-Solar-Annabelle Lee-Rowdy-Caffrey-Bama-Samantha-Darcy-Daisy-Athena--Blade-Tai-Patton-Casey-Timo-Petey-Shiloh-Spike Armond-Cooper-Jena-Tank-Canela-Trajan-Kale-Newton-Axel Rose-Bailey-Mollie Brown-Ginger-Mr.Big-Corey-Belle-Caine-Tika-Tiger-Sheba-Heidi-Paco-Sadie & Panda.
