RIP Noushka (Skimarque Noushka Czarina) 13/11/00 – 03/02/15 Back in 2002 I got the chance to rehome a 18 month old Sibe named Noushka. Within a couple of hours of taking her I witnessed her jump a 6 foot fence and escape. Over the years I came to learn that nothing would stop her going wandering if she was in the mood, from jumping out of upstairs windows then running off, opening garage doors and going missing for a couple of hours, to finding her in different parts of the house you thought she had no access to, she was certainly a stubborn ass with a mind of her own. Suffering with arthritis for the last 2 years the last few months have been hard to watch her getting w…

It is with great regret And guilt I post this as Mila has been the victim of an unfortunate tragic accident. Around a week or so ago Mila and Rue have been out when they have jumped up resting onto a big wooden gate to have a look through as some people had caught their attention on the other side. Unfortunately this gate has come loose from the wall and fallen onto Mila. Rue managed to get out of the way luckily. Mila was not so lucky and in the mad dash to the vets as she was covered in blood she has passed away on the way from internal bleeding. Absolutely gutted and feel guilty I couldn't do anything to prevent it.

... since I brought True Blue home. Well, a month plus a few days, but you get the picture. It's a bit funny to think how I could get attached so much to a little fish in such a short time. But he's still one of my beloved pets, now swimming free somewhere in another world. Hopefully he gets a lot of live blood worms there, because there's never enough to satisfy that tiny belly. Anyways, I just thought that maybe this is a good time to tone down on the grieving a bit. I mean, I gotta stop crying at some point. I dealt with this loss by trying to not even think about it, but like I said, at some point I gotta stop. Stop covering my eyes, stop covering my ears, stop preten…

It is with a heavy heart to say that we lost another pack member yesterday. Keiko was healthy and well Intill Wednesday at 3 he started have seizures. My vet talked me through it and we gave him some medicine. He was fine and calm and I was looking forward to the visit Thursday morning to find out what was going on. Well at 6 yesterday Keiko was caught in a cluster of seizures that ended his life at 6:30...We have no idea what happened. How a perfect healthy dog got sick and lost his life in less than 12 hours. I took him immediately for a necropsy. The results on the gross necropsy came back yesterday and they found nothing. They are calling it a freak accident as everyt…

I don't know if I'm posting this right or in the right place. Please accept my apologies if this is wrong. I thought this would help my grieving process by sharing the death of my Timber yesterday. I am NOT TAKING THIS WELL AT ALL. For the past year, our routine revolved around maintaining Timbers new lifestyle including foods, meds and changing doggie diapers a reprecussion from his bladder stone surgery. I woke up this morning from a noise that I would normally relate with Timber waking me. I haven't been able to stop crying since. Sasha is out of sorts sniffing around for him, or that's what my brain is telling me is happening. I really don't know if Timbers deat…

Dunc has asked me to let you all know saskia had to be put to sleep this morning ? She was the mum to my 2 boys kimba and kaiser and was loving and such a sweet lady.

This is not a dog but I still want to post this in here now I feel ready to. My mum died yesterday suddenly she was 47 we are unsure at the moment why.

I've been posting in the General Health thread about my young puppy Sashimi and the long-odds she has faced to survive a genetic condition. Despite our best efforts, she has followed my precious Yuki to the Rainbow Bridge after our two week long ordeal to try and save her. Not counting 4 hour round trips to the university research hospital, we only had Sashimi basically for a bit over a week but that we would go to such personal sacrifice and expense to do everything we could for her should tell you just how much of an impact she had on our hearts...she was the sweetest little thing and certainly did not deserve the fate she had. I'll be forever sad not to be able t…

Im crying as I write this to announce the news of the death of my dog Diesel yesterday. He was the sweetest most friendly dog ive ever had and talked to me like no other dog has ever done. Ive as yet to arrange to bring him home as id had to travel to the vets thirty miles away in Dumfries by bus. He had not eaten for a week.The vets had diagnosed liver failure and severe jaundice . His blood was bright orange when they took a sample. I was asked if heed got hold of any paracetomol . So having said no I must conclude my dog was poisoned. I live in a rural area of South Lanarkshire and being English had not experienced racial ha…

My post from the other day: At 12:55 am this morning, Stoli, Zoya's Furdaddy, crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. He was a very majestic gent, and the leader of his pack. He was gently placed in his grave today, with his pack looking on. His human caretakers offered a prayer, and as they said, Amen . . ." in unison, Stoli's pack all looked up to the sky and gave a salutatory Woo-Woo in his honor. I was not able to be present, and so read about the solemn moment on Zoya's breeder's FB page. And so another generation has passed. RIP Stoli. Let your spirit run free. Have you hugged your Husky today? As an aside, Zoya's breeder, who stays in touch wit…

We lost Wyatt on March 10th. We thought we had the yard finally husky-proofed - it's been months since their last escape attempt. This morning Scout managed to get through by tearing the wood at the base of the gate and pulling the whole bottom of a solid wood gate back far enough to slip through. The dogs were out maybe half an hour and I only found out when I returned home from an errand to a phone call that the Humane Society had picked up the dogs, but Wyatt's back leg was hurt so they were bringing him to me instead of the pound. One look at him and Teresa and I knew it was bad. I carried him into the house and he just collapsed where I put him. It was very clear…

My cousin's dog Chloe passed yesterday. Last week they had to take her to the vet because she had eaten some blankets. When they operated to remove it they found that it had damaged the intestines and caused an infection that spread. They tried saving her but in the end it was just too much for her. She was 6 years old. I never met her dog before but it is always sad when anyone looses a member of their family

Ivanna-Lakota First Anniversary in Heaven You came to me a little ball of fur With eyes sapphire blue and intense; You stole the show, definite in your choices Curious outspoken you stole our hearts. A Princess you were and forevermore would be. No crate for you but the foot of my bed you claimed as The royal boudoir, your need to arrange your sleeping spot Just so, was as comical as your solemn undertaking to make certain Every wrinkle and crease was just so to fit your body encircled, to a Tee. The insistent paw firmly placed upon the toe of my shoe with all your weight pressing upon it emphasized the import of your desire to share in whatever it was I …

I cant begin to put this into words, For a fortnight or so Malakai has been off his food, lethargic generally unwell, after numerous trips to the vet to get blood works etc done, they wanted him in for a liver biopsy as they had narrowed the problem down to that area, Today he went in for the biiopsy, got a call from the vet, that the problem was not his liver but a massive tumour on his pancreas, which was in operable and to advanced too treat, ive never felt myself sink so quickly, there were no options open to me that would have helped him, I felt like i'd been hit by a bus, I genuinley thought it was going to be an infection of some sort, we'd treat it and he be b…

Some of you "older" members may remember Emily from Cornwall, she has 3 huskies - well I found out yesterday that her beloved girl Scooby had passed away at the ripe old age of 14yrs. She hadn't been well for a long time but it was still a terrible shock. We have been in contact with her to pass on our condolences and as you would expect she is absolutely devastated. Here is a recent pic of Scooby ... RIP sweet girl, free from pain

I know this is a husky forum, but my cat had to cross over the rainbow bridge today. She had a great 12 years with us. A month ago she was diagnosed with cancer and was told she could have anywhere from several months to a year left. She had a tumor on her back and on her leg, causing her to lose the use of one leg. Today I got home from work and she was no longer able to walk. Yesterday she was running around happy as could be on three legs and you could just see it in her eyes that she had given up. I told my dad it was time and we took her up to the vet. I know we prevented her from suffering, but it still hurts. She didn't fight the vet at all so I know that she knew …

We've sent Belle over the rainbow bridge tonight She was only 5 years old My hubby and I are gutted at her very early departure from this world but following a traumatic weekend we were advised to let her go. On Friday evening she went out with Martin lamping, but whilst chasing a rabbit she collapsed with a seizure. She eventually regained consciousness but just wasn't right in herself. As you can see from the picture Belle doesn't have much fur due to a hormonal imbalance. The vet thinks that finally the toil of the condition proved too much for her little body She has been crying in pain all weekend and even the strong painkillers haven't taken the edge o…

Our older members surely remember Stephanie (Fox Tink and Eponine). She is no longer a part of this forum unfortunately, but I still thought this news is worth sharing. For those who don't know, Eponine was found as a stray by our other ex-member. She was previously named Chukchi. But since Chukchi's rescuer couldn't care for her, he came to H-O to find her a new home. That's when Stephanie, who lived several states away, stepped up. The rest of the forum then created a list of volunteers to transport Eponine to her new home Eponine's journey is still one of the most memorable moments in the three years I've spent roaming this forum, and I'm sure it's also impossible to …

He wasn't my dog but I still loed him like my own I had a call from Australia this morning. My sister had found her boy Beau had collapsed rush him to the vets to be told no more could be done for him And the kindest thing for him was to put him to sleep. He had been plagued with various illness's since he was 3 years old and we had nearly lost him a couple times. I'm seeking comfort in knowing he's no longer suffering and is a peace now Run free beau (April 2007-February 2014)
