Walkin' Wednesday 2018

 With what we shall call THE WINGED edition -

 From SUNday -

 After we got started with the walk, I asked Auntie Di to please take Holly so I could concentrate on Khyra - and meander along at HER speed -

 I let her do what she wanted -

 and sniff what she wanted -

 and  maybe even have a taste or two ;-)

 She seemed to be keeping a secret - laughing all the way -

 Ha - a racing stripe - green - and good to go!  I hope it was a sign - that she would be ready too - and marking herself to be an Irish Siberian in honor of TADN's heritage!

 The second blooming - and yes, I do need to trim 'em back!

 THANKS AUNTIE DI - she shot this one of us -

 Tuesday morning, Khyra and I shared some US time on the back and front patios - and then went on our last walk - this is a yard marker in the house three doors down - he recently lost his wife -

 but she's there in spirit - in the form of a special angel amongst the HOWLoween souls and spirits!

 Yes, beware Rainbow Bridge - Khyra was KHOMING -

 Khyra helped herself to a double dose of sniffs at Kiersha's house - now the only Husky in the neighborhood -

 Our first leaf of FALL picture -

After we got home from dinner with Fred Monday night - and got settled in - Khyra took herself to one of her spots in our bedroom - she looked SO peaceful - and I hoped THIS was for me to see and again KNOW she was ready - and trying to help ME be ready - 

I'm putting this together as the just about T Minus 2 hours and counting mark hits - wanted to get it in place in between tear filled moments - with Khyra just below me - able to touch her with my human paws - and I've been doing that - over and over - even doing some plucking!

As we walked, we encountered several of the neighbors - and shared the news - and hugz - and as much as I would have wanted to make THAT stroll our last Walkin' Wednesday, I needed to have the emotional veto power NOT - Sunday's was rough enough - and I had not yet made THE CALL but the decision was just about completely firmed - I owed it to HER -

We shared time on the back patio - her biscuit time - and then spent time on the front one - sharing some KHOFFEE - I expect to share that here tomorrow - along with some of how Auntie Di and I spent our time preparing

The day was also filled with reading all the wonderful words of support and khare and khoncern on FB and the blog post - to say it means so much would be one of those understatements to mark all understatements - they all helped occupy my head and heart today - and helped discipline me to NOT just sit and khry -

THANK YOU 

Small words that hold SO MUCH love - full of fur too!

Life here at The Now Angel Khyra's Khorner will be so different - she helped make me as I hope I helped make her - we shared so much - and will continue to do so - just in a different way - 

Yes, I could have kept her around for longer - but as I've looked at her throughout the day, there was no life in her life - she was there but there was not a good way to be - and how she deserved to be -

For those not on FB, here is another tune that looped in my head - actually, my friend included it in one of our exchanges on Friday when I let him know the time was coming -

Amazingly, The Wind was released on August 26 - different year than my release - and a different one than Whitney's Gotcha Day - but 8/26 nevertheless!

Please keep her in your hearts for a while - I know I will - to the moon and back -

Hugz&Khysses,

Khyra's Mom
P.S. All went 'well' - if that is a term to apply - in true Siberian spirit, she did require a bit more time - and a bit more sleepi juice as Angel Summi's Mummi would say - I do plan to do some postings about the day - along with some other assorted topics - all part of working through our grief -
once again, thank YOU!
