Run Free, Dear Lightning

 

Earlier this morning . . . 








Our hearts are in pieces.  We will do a proper tribute to Lightning another day.  Godspeed, Sweet Boy, the Gentlest Giant, and Mom's Teddy Bear.


Love, Misty and Timber - your furever pack, and Mom and Dad, missing and loving you so much.  Always and Forever.

  7. They will not go quietly,
    the pets who’ve shared our lives.
    In subtle ways they let us know
    their spirit still survives.
    Old habits still can make us think
    we hear them at the door
    Or step back when we drop
    a tasty morsel on the floor.
    Our feet still go around the place
    the food dish used to be,
    And, sometimes, coming home at night,
    we miss them terribly.
    And although time may bring new friends
    and a new food dish to fill,
    That one place in our hearts
    belongs to them…
    and always will.
    my tears flow with yours, my heart hurts with yours. Rest without pain, run free sweet Lightning

  10. Lightning

    Your eye of blue
    will forever be remembered.
    The tilt of your head as you
    listened to your Mom
    The way you lead your siblings
    with a gentle paw.
    Your bipeds adored you
    When the were wee ones
    they napped on your lush
    furs of white
    They hugged your neck tight
    and to you that made your world
    RIGHT.
    With love and healing hugs to your
    humans and Timber and Misty

  18. We are heartbroken to learn that Lightning has had to depart for the Bridge. He was such a furry sweet woofie and will be sorely missed. We send purrs of condolence to his pawrents and to his fursibs. We hope you can find some comfort in the knowledge that he is now free from pain, and is young and healthy again and that you will all be reunited again someday. Till then, run free, sweet Lightning, in the green fields and warm sunshine beyond the Rainbow Bridge.

  45. I am so sorry to read this, please accept our sincere condolences at the loss of sweet Lightning. I have been reading this blog for years and I know how wonderfully you care for your huskies. Someone said to me when I lost one of my huskies that your dog needed to be rid of that body so that their spirit can finally run free and it gave me comfort. I know you know that Lightning is forever in your heart but his spirit is joyful and free and your huskies that came before are guiding him. A hug across the wires to you and yours.

    Rosie, Redford and Lesley

  48. I'm so sorry that Lightning flew away to join up with his angel furblings.
    I know he will be sorely missed, and I read that yes, even Timber and MIsty are wondering why he isn't with them anymore. (Dalton did that for a few weeks after MJF left us, and he was only with MJF for a little less than 5 months!)
    Sending love and hugs! May all the wonderful memories you made sustain you now and forevermore.

    I am sending you a memento via your GMail account...
