xxxxxxx Remembering Dillin
Today
we take a moment in time to say good bye to our dear friend Dillin who most recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Dillin, you
reminded us how grand and vulnerable the human/animal bond can be. Your entrance into a room was magical! Your spirit was
magnetic- like the brightest star in the sky. You made all around you want to fall to their knees for a quick kiss on the
head, a tight hug around your mane to feel your warmth, or to just simply pat you on the head to say hello ol' boy. Today
we honor you- Dillin. You will be missed dearly by all who had the opportunity to know you- even if it was just a moment in
time. R.I.P.
A Silver Harness Well Earned Story By: Ron McEckron
- President, Tundra Spirits Siberian Husky Rescue
Kody’s time with Tundra went by too quickly. Even though we knew
from the start that his time might be short, the pleasure he brought us was difficult to give up. His interest in everything
around him and enthusiasm for life became infectious. Whenever you were having a bad day, you could count on a walk with Kody
to put things into perspective. That slow ambling gait, and his frequent affectionate looks would raise your spirits, calm
your thoughts, and bring an appreciation of life’s gifts. For that we thank you, Friend. Our concerns for his health
and efforts to provide the best care possible, inspired our research into diet, conventional and holistic methods to mitigate
the cancer. Those long hours spent learning and talking with kind Veterinarians will enable us to assist other companion animals,
educate their human caretakers, and appreciate our other canine companions more. For that we thank you, Friend. All those
involved learned different lessons in our endeavor to ease and dignify the passing of a canine spirit. We agreed that the
hospice experience was a positive one. At some time during Kody’s stay we all had at least a passing thought of the
pain of loss that was inevitable. A moment gazing into his soft eyes would quickly put those feelings to rest. For that
we thank you, Friend. On April 27, 2009 Kody left this world peacefully. His friends from Tundra and our trusted and respected
DVM, Dr. Forlano were with him. The tears we shed when
the time came made us better humans we think. We saw only love, dignity and trust in Kody’s
eyes when he left. For that we thank you, Friend. Special thanks to the APF for sharing Kody with us.
To Michele and Bill from SAMA who took
on the financial responsibilities for Kody’s care;
and shared our tears. And Wendy from Tundra who made Kody’s
living space so cheerful and pleasant,
along with many hours preparing special diets.
SAMA's Thoughts...
In life we often fail to remember where our blessing stem from, how our lessons in life evolve. Often, in takes a special creature like Kody to pass
though our lives for what seems to be a moment in time to remind us of the importance of caring for one another, loving God's
innocent creatures, and exhibiting a devout understanding of patience and love. It is through creatures like Kody that we
reflect on how short lived their lives really are- like a shooting star they pierce the sky to only leave behind a trail of
awe. Once they depart we question the long life lessons they bestow upon us. We hope they understood the importance of them
being in our lives. We wonder if they knew our gratitude, our love, our sadness when having to say our final good-byes?
RIP Kody '09
The Story of Kody
Delta
Delta's story speaks for all homeless and sheltered animals. Delta aka Delly was thought to be a "show
dog," however after a doctor examination it was discovered that she had bad knees and hips. Hence, she was of "no
use" to the people who purchased her for their own gain. So, there Delly sat- in a cage waiting for her fate-
to be euthanized because after all who would invest time and money into fixing a 'broken dog' when they could more
easily find a healthy dog? Well Delly's forever family proved that mind-set wrong! During the 10 years of Delta life
with her forever family- they proved that Delta was FAR from broken! She enjoyed running with the kids, boating,
eating lots of cookies, and snuggling with her mom! Before being diagnosed with breast
cancer- Delly lived the life God wished her to live- A life of a "normal" dog - with a family, with lots
of love, lots of cookies, and much play-time. SAMA will always honor shelter dogs and the "unwanted ones"
in memory of Delly as we have seen just how much love they bring to a home. It was because of Delta that our
quest began and continues today. We honor and love you Delly!
Lucky
Thank you Lucky for passing through. Rest in Peace Ol' Boy.Sometimes
in life it's the short relationships that pass through our lives that make us sit back and reflect on the precious gifts bestowed
upon us. Love was manifested for
this fella upon finding him roaming in the streets- love was evolved from just hearing he was homeless, alone, cold,
hungry, and scared. This type of love can not be explained. It's just there! It's God's intention for us to love and care
for his creatures. Although Lucky was
sick, lost, and left astray God intended for him to know human love before he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Lucky "could
have" died alone in the streets that he wandered in day after day. But, that was not the case nor was it God's intention!
Lucky,just days before his passing- was
found, welcomed, cared for, and loved by God's Angels here on earth at the Animal Protective Foundation. Unconditionally, they loved Lucky. They took him in, nurtured him, gave him warmth, and love. In this story- all were blessed! Lucky -to have spent his last days with
the warmest most compassionate people who are dedicated to improving the lives of animals. And the APF -for Lucky crossing
through their lives even for just a short time, to remind them how important their role is in the life of
each and every animal that crosses through their lives. We honor Lucky today because this type of love triumphs all! It's an unconditional love! It's a love that
cannot be explained! It's the love between man and creature!
