Thinking Thanking Treasuring Thursday

Thinking
Thanking
Treasuring
Princess Dakota was pawmitted to khross Wednesday with her mom and dad there to guide her spirit.
We khan't say much more now bekhause it hurts
In her memory, here is a song and the lyrikhks that Mom dumblukhked into finding. She khould hear words about a new star in heaven...googled it...and found this (not the one she had in her head).
On so many levels fur so many reasons, it is the perfekht one!

Please stop over and paw some words of khomfort and support fur The OP KS Pakhk she has left behind.

I know how much her mom was touched by all the khomments left in recent trying times.

Hugz&Khysses To Kathie, David, Phantom, and Thunder

I will admit I was a bit selfish and asked Dakota's Mom to please ask Dakota to tell Laska to khome home. She said she would whisper that in her ear.

Leaking once again,

Khyra and Phyll

PeeEssWoo: No Laska news...tank woo again fur all your support and suggestions...evfurry bit helps!

Here was the original song we were planning to use...we'll share it as well since Dakota's Mom loves this artist too!

We just came from reading about Dakota. We knew it was coming after the last post, but we are so sad it had to be.

We're still hoping for Laska's safe return.

Taffy said...

So sorry to hear about Dakota. It is always hard to loose a friend but she is having more fun than we can even imagine. I know that doesn't take away the pain but hopefully it will offer some comfort. I've missed you while my mom was sick...glad to be able to visit you again!

that was beautiful Khyra and Mom - crying here! We're putting both Dakota and Laska's name's back in the St. Francis bowl and smoking them to the heavens. I know Dakota is romping without pain - and she will help to guide Laska to a safe place, even if it's not with you.

Ziggy Stardust said...

I am beyond words, I now realize how attached I have become to the dog blogs. I am so sorry, I have lost 2 dogs and I know the pain. Dakota is running free and day by day it will get better.

Thank you for the great post.
Such a tough loss! Dakota was so special. And, no news on Laska. Both are heartbreaking.

We are thinking of these special furry, sweet souls.

Suka said...

hey Khyra,

I don't like all this heartbreaking news. I pray all day for Laska to be found safe and sound. And now sweet, beautiful Dakota has crossed the bridge. At least there is comfort in knowing Dakota is no longer in pain.

I think that was sweet to ask Dakota to help Laska. Us dogs stick together, no matter what! I am sure Dakota's heart will sing out to Laska to go home to where the love is!

Thank you Khyra and Khyra's mom for all you do for us dogs!!

Peace,

Suka

We are all so sad to lose a friend but also so thankful that this wonderful community offers such unconditional love and support to those in pain. There are so many wonderful images of our friends as they leave us. We love the one of the shooting star which lights up our lives, but is gone too soon.

Clive said...

Khyra, that was a really beautiful tribute for Dakota. We are thinking and praying for Laska all the time as well. Paws crossed that with all this sad news there will also be a little bit of good news about Laska.

Take care
Clive and family

Dexter said...

Miss Khyra,
Momma says that she is always astounded by the outpouring of kind words when something scary happens.

We got sad when we visited Dakota's blog and saw that pretty picture of her. My Raja crossed over the bridge three years ago and momma still cannot bring herself to put together the photos.

Slobbers,
Mango

Mack said...

Yes, we just heard the news. Our hearts are breaking for Dakota's family.

However I have a feeling Miss D is up there running like she hasn't in a very long while and playing like a pup. I hope she meets up with my mom Emily. She was beautiful like Dakota.

Arran, Arthur and Mum said...

Such very sad news to have come back to. RIP Princess.

Noah the Airedale said...

Another matie has crossed the bridge..what a sad day.

Me and Mom were thinking and thinking about Dakota and her family yesterday. :( We are so sorry. We continue to hold her in our hearts.
And if anyone can help Laska, we know it's Dakota. We're still praying for his safe return.

Your pal,

wally said...

Ooooh. Poor Dakota. Sniff.

We will keep our paws crossed that they find Laska. My ma ape is on a corgi list and someone lost their corgi (from a boarding facility) and he was found two weeks later. Miracles happen!

The Luke said...

We're never ever prepared for the loss and separation.

It seems there is never enough time.

My heart is saddened and my eyes are damp. And my thoughts and prayers go out to Dakota's family.

Thank you, Khyra... for the beautiful tribute, and for keeping the candle lit for Laska's safe return home.

wif love from the Luke and his the Mom
