Cheyanne Nov 26 1996-July 1 2007

I watch you walk down the path to the fields of green and the brilliant colors, where your pain will no longer be...the tears weld up...but I will not cry for you...for you taught me strength and unconditional love...but I will not cry for you...you were there to guide me and made everything alright...but I will not cry for you...you are my one..my girl, my child,my all ...I will see you again, and together we will be one.....I will cry for us.

Yukon Zack (aka Zacky) & Dakota

It was on the 27th day of July, in the year 2006 that Zacky went gently into the night across Rainbow Bridge. You left a bigger hole in my heart then in the back yard. Why do the ones we love the most leave us so soon.
It was the 22nd day of November in the year 2006, Dakota went gently into the night and crossed Rainbow Bridge. Dakota was our first Siberian Husky rescue, our sweet painted face Husky with a striking “lightning bolt” on the top of her head. You are free now, I know you are with Zacky, running free North of Rainbow Bridge, run like the wind my pack, daddy will be with you and Zacky someday

Sadly missed by his “”Mommy and Daddy”, Dakota, Sailor and Grandpa.

In loving memory of Starr and Ice: Starr was 16 when she passed on in April and Ice, her companion for almost her entire life would have been 16 in August but his heart was so broken that he only lasted three weeks without Starr.
They were a huge part of our lives for so long, and have left such a hole in our hearts that will never be filled... words can't express the appreciation for all the love and joy they gave us. Sorry, Starr, but can openers won't work on heaven turtles either! It's hard to even try to express in words what the two of them have meant to us and the love they brought to our lives. If love could have saved them they would have lived forever!

In loving memory of Meesha: June 26, 1998 - June 28, 2006
Farewell Little Girl, you will forever hold a special place in our hearts. You gave us eight
wonderful years of joy and silliness. And for that, our family has been truly blessed. We love you little Rooky Roo!

R.I.P.

I am very sad to tell you all that my loving Husky Skye has passed away on May 23rd. I leashed Skye and got my bike for our daily bike ride. We rode two blocks and I thought she tripped and fell, but she was in a seizure or her heart had stopped. She fell to the ground and was trembling with her tongue hanging out. A neighbor and I tried to perform CPR but I think she was too far gone. Soon there was no breathe or heartbeat. She was just 5 ½ years old I have never had a better dog and I will miss her every minute. I hope she leaves each of you with great memories like she has left me. With all my love to the best dog I have ever had.

The love of our lives....

Rosey, a.k.a. Cherokee Rose Parker, found us in early 1992. She was a stray husky-whatever mix puppy who was brought to our door, not once, but twice by well-meaning neighbors who thought she was one of our dogs. Bandit and Bear, another husky-mix and a full-blooded malamute, were already running our house as they had for the past 12 years. The second time Rosey was brought to us, the man who had her on a leash said – this dog belongs with you and you can come get her at our house. Well, Bill took one look at Rosey later that day and said, yeah – we’ll take her.

Boy, was she ever rambunctious! Old Bandit and Bear were at their wits’ end with this energetic newcomer. We finally decided that Rosey would need to become a kennel dweller when we weren’t able to supervise her directly and she moved into her kennel box and made herself at home. Nobody, but nobody was allowed to get in her “box” and she was quick to let anybody who tried know that! When we were at home and she was out and about, she picked a spot on the end of the sofa in the family room that allowed her to see out the front windows and out the back sliding glass doors with just a turn of the head so she could supervise the property. That was her spot and she’d fuss at anybody who dared to sit there. Miss Rose took ownership of our hearts, our home, our yard and the airspace above it from day one. She knew when something was different or out of place and let us know. Any airplanes that flew within her sight range were barked at immediately and “chased off”. She’d strut around as if to say “there, that’ll teach them to violate MY airspace”. Fourth of July was her favorite holiday. As the neighborhood displays lit up the sky, Rosey would chase them, jumping up as high as she could to bark at the sparkling fireworks.

Rosey was an alpha by birth, no doubt about it. She was the queen of our home, undisputed. After Bandit & Bear’s passing late in 1992, loveable mutt Lady joined our home, followed soon by Jackson, a full bred husky. They had no problem submitting to Rosey’s reign; it was simply not something to be questioned. Rosey was still the queen when we lost Lady to squamous cell cancer and Jackie a couple of years later, also to cancer, canine leukemia. She continued ruling the roost over Petey, Rocky and Timber, all younger by at least a decade, but all respectful of Miss Rose. Rocky and Timber would not even walk past her without permission, either from the queen herself or from one of us “human subjects”.

Of all our 4 legged babies, Rosey was the one who loved to be brushed and fussed over. It was as if she knew she was a pretty girl and she liked being the center of attention. She was a love and a big-time Daddy’s Girl.

Bandit, Bear, Lady and Jackie met her at the end of the Rainbow Bridge on October 19, 2005. The 5 of them, along with Heather the Irish Setter, are running, jumping, playing and dining on sirloin steaks cooked to perfection in Heaven today. Don’t ask me how, but I just know it. I also know that Rosey is probably the Alpha Dog there, too!

In Memory of Kavik
January 31, 1992 - June 16, 2005

I remember as if it were yesterday when your foster mom lead you out to meet us. You were scruffy, dirty red and white and you walked briskly toward us as if to say, "Here I am, what took you so long?" There was a young black and white female at your side. She'd brought her along as if I had choice as to which of you I'd adopt. But, our eyes met and I knew there would be no other. You were the one! I don't think you ever looked back as you leapt up into the truck to drive home with us. I thought I was the one doing the rescuing, but you rescued me right back -- becoming a loyal, stedfast and loving companion who took care of us just as well as we cared for you. We had lots of fun together over the years, and you traveled many a mile with us, loving everyone you met along the way. You are such a gentle spirit and I know you live on, free of pain, indignity and suffering. My world which was forever changed because you came into it, is forever changed again now that you've left me behind. We hope you'll be there to greet us at the rainbow bridge, wagging and beckoning us to follow you as if we'd never been parted. We miss you terribly, think of you often and will remember you always with love.

Hi. This is Sterling. He was 6yo. Today I put him to rest. He had a
malignant malicious carcinoma that started in his nasal area only two
months ago. I brought him to the vet thinking he had a cold. I am now
devastated as you can imagine but I have been preparing myself for today
for a month.

We rescued Sterling so to speak. Sterling had gotten loose when he was
about one and went swimming in a retention pond. He wanted to play with
an alligator but the alligator wasn’t in the mood and Sterling lost a
back leg. A neighbor found Sterling and took him to a vet and he was as
good as new minus something he seemed to not be too bothered missing.
The owners wouldn’t pay the vet bill so the lady who found him paid the
bills and took him in. She was also my wife’s boss and my wife had
mentioned that I always wanted a husky so her boss asked if she would
take Sterling and he was given to me five years ago as a wedding
anniversary present. He and I were best friend’s. And he still loved to
swim and when you looked at Sterling he had that personality that most
people didn’t even know he was missing a leg until you told them. He was
special indeed. As most of you out there with huskies’s will say the same.

Now my friend is gone and he will be missed. As I hold his collar and
tags in my hands with tears in my eyes, I am comforted with his
fantastic memories. And I want to thank his vets at All Pets Hospital in
New Port Richey and the staff there for being sensitive and caring and
they are highly recommended by my family.

As for Sterling….. He is smiling as I see him running past me with the
wind looking for that pond to go swimming in J Thank you buddy…I love
you. Have fun in heaven.
