irene Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Sutula's Raphael May 21, 2005 - January 31, 2012 [ATTACH=full]36984[/ATTACH] Farewell, my beloved fur-kid - run free over the Rainbow Bridge, and know that I love you and will miss you! Raffi has been ill recently, and got noticeably worse over the weekend. He apparently managed to eat a piece of metal at some point, as revealed through an x-ray today, which perforated his intestines. Prognosis, even with surgery, was not good, so I let him go this afternoon... He was one of the more special fur-people to grace my life, and I miss him terribly... as i read your farewell to your beloved friend i to am shedding a tear for you ..we all know the hurt it brings my thoughts are with you at this sad time ...

stormchaser09 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 so very sorry to hear this, take comfort from the fact you cared enough to let him go without letting him suffer - that is never an easy thing to do. I hope the rest of your pack look after you and give you lots of furry hugs. R.I.P. beautiful boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutsibe Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Thank you, Richard, Val and Angela! Gigi .. im so lost for words.. for across the pond... from me and all my girls .. Thank you, Richard and pack! aw, Gigi, I'm so sorry to be reading this, Raffi, run free, your pack will give your Mom the strength to get through this till you all meet again, xxxxx Something I rarely see when I've been working with a vet, and we have to put an animal down, but have seen with several of my guys - he seemed to be concerned about leaving me to cope, and fought the drug a little... Usually, it's very peaceful, and they just drift off... so very sorry to hear this, take comfort from the fact you cared enough to let him go without letting him suffer - that is never an easy thing to do. I hope the rest of your pack look after you and give you lots of furry hugs. R.I.P. beautiful boy. I had thought about taking him home and spending a last evening with him, then taking him back to the vet's the next day, but decided that wasn't fair to him...

Storm Angel n Auroras Mum Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Oh Gigi, Im so sorry Hun. Run Free Raffi in your silver harness mate.xx The time comes. A Siberian Husky lifts up its head. There is an untested adventure beyond. Time to go. Across the Rainbow Bridge is a place for all dogs. A river runs wide and shallow with tennis balls that fly with their own wings; that is the place for a Labrador or Golden to await its master’s arrival. The Siberian is not content here. Northward is its trail…. There are soft pastures for Aussies and Border Collies, with sheep and geese to pen. Agility equipment grows like trees amid Frisbees and flyball. But the North continues its sure wild call, and the Siberian’s journey continues…. Now the air is colder. Now the moon is always full. Now the light is silver and it breaks and shimmers on fields of bright snow. Now there are no roads, no walls, no pens, just endless space to run. This is where Siberians gather, North of the Rainbow Bridge. They wait in this beautiful place, happy, but not complete. Suddenly, a howl begins, as one dog senses someone coming, someone very special. All the Siberians raise their heads and join in the ancient chorus. They dance like moonbeams and sing like winter winds. There are red ones like dawn streaks, black ones splattered with many colors and silver ones like the first strange hour before light. They line up as if in harness and run together, in a scintillating, many-colored streak. The leader of the team guides the others past the fields and river, with racing feet and racing heart. They rush to greet the new arrival at the Rainbow Bridge, where the leader is rejoined with its beloved person, never to be parted again. The glory of the reunion is celebrated by all the Siberians dwelling beyond the Bridge, a glimmering, multicolored team leaping and whirling with joy. The light from that scene is what we see on magical evenings in the northernmost parts of this Earth: The Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights beyond the Rainbow bridge.
