Devastating Loss "Sky" 20.11.00 - 26.8.13 |
| August Bank Holiday 2013 was a tremendously sad day
for me when I had to make that heartbreaking decision to let my beloved
"Sky" go to Rainbow Bridge. She was a remarkable dog and showed
bravery and dignity right to the end. She was the undisputed alpha
of the Sansorrella pack and has left the pack at a loss without her
strong leadership. I am glad that a week
previously my daughters Aimee and Alison came to visit and helped me
take "Sky" for one last walk on the beach with her lifelong
friend and companion "Echo", who has also recently been diagnosed with
cancer. It was very slow progress walking across the sand but "Sky" was determined to get to the
waters edge, where she enjoyed sitting watching the waves and people
playing in the sea, probably remembering the thrill of running through
the waves in her younger days, as you can see from the picture above. She was
a very loyal companion and soul mate and she touched the hearts of
everyone who met her. Run Free sweet Sky - we will always love you

Sadly on the 12th of April "Whisper" was stolen from our garden. From reported sightings we think she either escaped from her abductors or was dumped 40 miles from home. We spent over three weeks searching for her and tracking her progress through sightings as she steadily made her way across open countryside in the direction of home. There was a report in a local newspaper of a 'Wolf on the Wolds' with a picture of her, which is the last picture ever taken. Sadly she found herself on a private estate, where near starvation caused her to kill some sheep and she was tragically shot and killed before we could reach her. She was brought home on the 8th of May 2012 and laid to rest overlooking the open fields, where she loved to watch the pheasants. She has left a gaping hole which can never be filled and she is missed terribly by myself, the family and her pack. Run free sweet girl - you were very special and will never be forgotten x I would just like to take this opportunity to thank all the wonderful people who were out searching for her, offering practical help and moral support throughout this terrible ordeal. You gave us hope and kept us going through the very hard times. We very much appreciate the network of dog lovers who were with us in our hour of need and I'm only sorry that there was such a very sad end. Thank you. Sandra and family

For Whisper
Gliding cat-like through the shadows Watching intently from afar Huge paws silently leaving a tell tale trail The only clue that you were there With eyes that looked into my soul You read my thoughts, my moods and emotions Sharing a bond that will never be broken No words were needed for you just knew The privileged time we spent together Side by side in sun or shade I wish it could have gone on forever Fate cruelly took you far too soon
Courageously you crossed open pastures Seeking woodland shelter where you slept Watched over by God’s wild creatures The strength of our love guiding you home
For three long weeks we searched in vain But our paths were destined not to cross Driven by hunger and ancient instinct Your life was snuffed by the hunter’s lead Now peacefully resting by open views Where your spirit can hunt into the night A gentle breeze whispers to the trees Your secret kept safe forever with me I feel the warmth of your breath and your paw on my lap You’re reluctant to leave but you must go Run Free at the bridge where no one can harm you And wait for me there until we’re together again Sandra Curry
