THE DOG FLU IS IN ONTARIO
Keep your pups safe

16/07/2023

Got the centrepiece of Luna’s memorial necklace.
A black-tan and whiteish crescent moon.

There will be beads on each side representing her puppies and grand puppies.
I have black and whites, grey-black and white swirls, brown and whites as well as brown-tan and white swirls.

They saw you watching over them
As they finally closed their eyes
They smelt your scent as they breathed
In and out for the last time

They heard the way your voice broke
As you told them they were loved
They felt you as you held them
With your gentle, farewell touch

And now they watch each morning
As you pass their empty bed
They watch you lose composure
And they see the tears you shed

They hear you bear the silence
Of the footsteps that are gone
That walk across your heart each day
Like echoes of a song

They feel the pang of emptiness
You get when you’re alone
In moments when you realise
That they’re never coming home

But in their darkest moment
You were there to hold them tight
And they just want the same for you
So you can feel alright

So they’re sewing you a rainbow,
Weaving ribbons through the sky
So they can let you know
That life is good beyond goodbye

So next time it is raining
And the sun appears as well
Just feel and look and listen
To what they are trying to tell

They’re telling you it’s spring there
With its showers and its sun
Where there are endless fields for them
To play and stretch and run

They’re telling you they sleep upon
The biggest, softest beds
That they have stitched from all the clouds
That float above your head

They’re telling you they’re not alone
For there are many others
And they’ve been reunited
With their parents, sisters, brothers

They’re showing you their rainbow
So you know they won’t forget you
And to tell you they will always be
So happy that they met you

And they’re telling you they love you
And though they’ll be dearly missed,
Not to worry, ‘cause it’s beautiful
Beyond the rainbow bridge

It's World Pet Memorial Day today.
It's a day that is observed on the second Tuesday of June every year.

Sending huge amounts of love and compassion to anyone who is missing a beloved pet today - and every day. The love of our animals is an incredibly pure and beautiful thing.

We were excited to have this pack back in the studio. They love to pose, and while Drake can be found howling at the moon and stunning Luna is at her best smiling; all show the love for their mommy. Winter's baby blues and Keba 's loving personality made this session a little extra fun on New Years....

I promise to keep you comfortable till the end.
You just need to tell me you are tired and done fighting.

Then palliative care, till her bad days outnumber her good.

I’ve been told by our vet, that Draco GreyWind will not live to be an old dog.

So I’ll be doing everything in my power to make his life the best it can be.

Right now, he is still on limited exercise.
Letting his body recover from his Lyme flare up.

He is desperate to
Run, full out…
Chasing his ball for hours…
Returning to work… (we’ve stopped HRD training/working totally

But as soon as he’s in remission, we will start again.
Till then we will be taking it easy.
