I can't bring myself to type about this... I am in tears, having a hard time seeing the screen as I type this. Anna has left the world to the Rainbow Bridge at 11:18AM this morning. :( Anna has given up on life on this earth, and chose to have a better, healthy life at the Bridge. My parents said their goodbyes, and gave her a sweet kiss on the nose for me. They said Anna was so calm as she could be, and she was content and ready. She is now reunited with Rosie. I will type more as I can when I can see the screen. She was around 12-13 years old. Three weeks apart from each other, the girls had so much love for each other, it's just very heartbreaking.
Rest in peace, pretty girl, you will be missed. I'm sorry I couldn't be home to see you one last time, and I will see you again someday. Say hi to Rosie for me, please.
:love::love:

Godspeed pretty girl, you're with your loving Rosie again.
LES, I'm so sorry Rachel, she will be deeply missed. Even though we never met, Anna has always been, & will always be, in my heart. :love:
Thank you for sharing her with us. ((hugs))

Rachel, I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this again so soon. How hard to loose both your babies so close together. Hugs to all of you.
Enjoy Hank...puppies have a special healing power. While he won't replace the girls, his antics will bring some much needed smiles.

I am so sorry for your loss, Rachel. I always enjoyed seeing pictures of Anna. Even though she was an older girl, I always thought she had a puppyish face. RIP, sweetie, Rosie will be happy to see you again and to show you around.

I'm so sorry to read this. What a beautiful girl your Anna is and always will be. To lose one of our fur kids is heartbreaking - but two so close together - words can't begin to tell how you must feel.
Anna - rest for a while - and then play hard at RB with all your new friends - but especially "your Rosie". :love:

So sorry to hear this.
Anna, sweet girl
Blue eyes so deep and wise
Fur so lush and heart so strong
Majestic and cuddly all in one body
Rest now, and then play
Reunited with loved ones at The Rainbow Bridge
And together you can wait, healthy again
Until that shining someday distant day
When you and your people will be
United again
Send them love, in blue skies and grey clouds
Let them know you are watching
Send kisses in their dreams
Rest in peace, Anna, dear, rest in peace.

Oh Rachel, I am so sorry. :( My heart breaks for you. Anna knows how much you loved her. She is now running in a young healthy body, with no aches or pains or bad vision or hearing, everything about her is renewed and perfect. She plays happily with Rosie, reunited forever and they both will welcome you when it is time with wet noses and puppy kisses.
((Hugs)) to you from me and may gang.
Rest in Peace Sweet Anna, rest in peace.

I am really sorry.... but i must admit (no offense) I did see this coming... maybe not so soon... I didn´t wanted to see this.. but had expected this... Anna was a senior, having age related troubles and the loss of a dearly friend... but I really wanted to stay positive.... I´m really sorry for Anna´s passing... but I´m sure she´s all healthy now and happily playing with Rosie her beloved buddy and now they have each others company....
I too lost a dog somewhat like this... and for the more it hurted I knew it was for the best, so I understand your pain...
those we love hurt the most when they go... but we have to stay strong for those left (Hank) tht will gladly pick the pieces of our hearts and try make thing easier... bless them..
hugs to you... I´m really sorry.. Anna was def. one of my faves... and one of the first dogs I noticed here...

Dear Rachel ~
Rosie said we should write you this note - to letyou know we're both fine and *miss ya* SO much.
Sorry we both left in such a hurry - wiffout a lotta G-Bye stuff ...
But Rosie's back wuz jest hurtin her so bad;
and then I got in such a *funk* when she left for The Bridge ...
Whut's a poor dawg to do?
Hank wuz a nice touch the Ole Folks added to make me feel better ...
the lil Kid sure tried hard ... but Rosie he isn't! We'll look around up here and
find a lil Critter to send down fur Hank ... sumbudy to *play* with him. ;)
Rosie and I were thinking back ... we had a really GREAT Tyme bringin up
"our Lil Girl" ... you was a pawfull at times - but WOW! ~ did we all have PHUNN!
'College' was a bit of a shock to us - nobody mentioned that inna 'Guide to Hoomins' book ...
But you were always good about comin Home to play wiff us. :)
Gotta run (sure is NICE to be able to do that again!) ~ Rosie sez I got a lotta
FurFriends to meet ...
We'll drop by tonight - you won't know we're there - but we'll be *lickin away*
your tears and givin lil *kisses* behind your ears.
**Miss Ya**, Kiddo!!
With ALL our Love,
{{{HUGS}}}

My heart dropped when I saw this. :( Anna has always been one of the prettiest huskies I've seen. She was just stunning. She looked like a wolf. I am so sorry this happened, Rachel. I am glad she is with Rosie again. RIP sweet girl.

Major LES. :(
I had seen your thread asking for prayers for your beautiful girl, but didn't have time to respond to it. I do want you to know that I was praying hard for her. I was hoping she would pull through, but its obvious it was her time. I can just imagine Rosie and Anna reunited, playing until their hearts are content at the RB.
I am sorry you and your family lost both of your girls so close to each other. Both lived long, happy lives and will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge. In the meantime, I hope Hank will help your hearts heal.
Rest Easy, Anna.

I'm so sorry. :( I've always loved your Anna. She is with Rosie now and they're both happy. How hard it must be to lose two pups so close together.:( Puppies are great healers of a broken heart. Hank will help you and your family heal. {hugs}
I am so sorry to hear about Anna. Two losses in such a short amount of time must be heartbreaking. At least Anna and Rosie are with each other again. R.I.P. Anna.

Unbelievably heartbreaking :(. I wish there were something I could do to ease your pain. Just know we're thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers. I am so very sorry you and your family had to say goodbye to Anna. The pictures are beautiful. The last one, I can tell though. She was tired, and ready to go. I know she is happy and smiling, running with Rosie at the RB.

Oh my gosh Rachel, I'm so shocked and saddened to read this. :( Losing both of them in such a short time....I can't even imagine. You know I've always had a soft spot for Anna, she was such a sweet, beautiful, dog. I will miss her very much, I know your family will deeply miss her too. :( At least she is with Rosie now, I'm sure that was a happy reunion. I'm glad your family has Hank, he has some big "paws" to fill now. {{{HUGS}}}
North of The Rainbow Bridge
by MakWa4me
The time comes. A Siberian Husky lifts up its head. There is an untested
adventure beyond. Time to go.
Across the Rainbow Bridge is a place for all dogs. A river runs wide and
shallow with tennis balls that fly with their own wings; that is the place
for a Labrador or Golden to await its master's arrival.
The Siberian is not content here. Northward is its trail....
There are soft pastures for Aussies and Border Collies, with sheep and
geese to pen. Agility equipment grows like trees amid Frisbees and
flyball.
But the North continues its sure wild call, and the Siberian's journey
continues....
Now the air is colder. Now the moon is always full. Now the light is
silver and it breaks and shimmers on fields of bright snow. Now there are
no roads, no walls, no pens, just endless space to run. This is where
Siberians gather, North of the Rainbow Bridge.
They wait in this beautiful place, happy, but not complete. Suddenly, a
howl begins, as one dog senses someone coming, someone very special. All
the Siberians raise their heads and join in the ancient chorus. They dance
like moonbeams and sing like winter winds.
There are red ones like dawn streaks, black ones splattered with many
colors and silver ones like the first strange hour before light. They line
up as if in harness and run together, in a scintillating, many-colored
streak. The leader of the team guides the others past the fields and
river, with racing feet and racing heart. They rush to greet the new
arrival at the Rainbow Bridge, where the leader is rejoined with its
beloved person, never to be parted again.
The glory of the reunion is celebrated by all the Siberians dwelling
beyond the Bridge, a glimmering, multicolored team leaping and whirling
with joy. The light from that scene is what we see on magical evenings in
the northernmost parts of this Earth: The Aurora Borealis, the Northern
Lights beyond the Rainbow Bridge.

Rachel, I'm so sorry, sweetie. I am almost speechless as I think of the heartbreak you are experiencing right now. It has to be the worst feeling ever. Please accept my heartfelt condolences and extend them to your loving family as well. That little guy, Hank, has a big job ahead of him and I know he'll do a great job helping everybody get through this difficult time. God be with you all. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}:(
Rest In Peace Anna:( You and Rosie play hard at the bridge and smile on Hank and all the family:(

oh Rachel my heart is breaking for you all terribly. :( my heart dropped when I saw this, I loved that girl of yours (Rosie, too!)
Anna was such a gorgeous girl and had a great life with you although that doesn't make the pain you're feeling any easier. :( ((((((((HUGS))))))))) please take care of yourself. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Again I am so, so terribly sorry for your loss of sweet Anna. Rosie and Anna are together again. :love:

Oh, Rachel. My heart is so full right now for you and your family. I can't imagine how you must feel. Sweet Anna, I will never try to understand why these things happen. But, I'm so relieved that you all have Hank, now. Please know you are in my thoughts. :love:

My heart is breaking for you, losing not just one but both of your beautiful girls in such a short time.:(
When you posted the list of problems Anna was having in the other thread, I had a bad feeling because my cat Samantha had many of those same issues just before she went to the Rainbow Bridge.:(
I am so sorry for you and your family, I know it is hard to lose a pet after so many years together.
Remember the good times you had with Anna and Rosie, they are together again at the RB.
Hank has a big job to do now, he will help you and your family heal in time.

Only a day since we let you go home, Anna, and I can't believe I will never hear your sweet little "woo woo's" and those beautiful amazing blue eyes of yours. I don't know what I am going to do without you. You were my first Siberian, and not my last. You've taught me so many things about the breed and I am grateful you were mine. :love:

Oh Rachel sweety I'm so sorry. I can't imagine the pain you and your parents have had to go threw, losing two wonderful friends in such a short time. Your sweet Anna was a very sensetive girl and it breaks my heart that she lost the will to live due to Rosie being gone. What a precious, precious girl Anna was. Can you believe some people claim dogs don't have feelings? This is just heartbreaking. Well the girls are together again and this is good, it's what they wanted.
Hugs to you and your family. I am so very sorry for you all :( :love:
I am so sorry! NO words can describe the hurt that one feels
when we loose our loved ones.
RIP sweet Anna!

My prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Losing a long lived pet is so hard; losing 2 so close together . . . . .I was reminded that often, when one person dies the spouse dies soon after, mostly when they have been together for many years, through thick and thin, and mostly when they are both older. So it seems to be the case with Rosie and Anna.
I really enjoyed seeing all the beautiful photos of dear, sweet Anna which you have added in this thread.

Oh my goodness... I'm so sorry--I registered JUST to say this--she was such a beautiful girl. I love huskies (she was one right?). They're just so beautiful. My Jubilee, a german shepherd/rottweiler mixed passed away after 14 years. I was very sad.. but you just have to move on. It's hard... it's hard, but you can do it.
You were a very pretty girl Anna. Rest in peace sweetie :love:
