M-any loved you
A-away from us too soon

All of us here are saddened by your loss but we know Sherman is playing in the fields at the RB patiently waiting. Dixie sends a message of love to Sherman.

Awww, please give Dixie a big hug from me, that is just too sweet!
Val, that is beautiful. I read this first thing this morning (beginning another day with LES), and wrote a post back because you hit on something I think I want to share but I feel too vulnerable to share it yet. I may post it later. But thank you, I love it.
You are more than welcome. I'm happy to try to ease some pain. You can pm me any time you need.
Reggie wishes to offer you and Sherman a present:

Beautiful photos Isabelle.
Isabelle, those are beautiful! What gorgeous rainbows, and the white light bursting through, just lovely. I got goosebumps! Thank you, from all of us.
Isabelle, the pictures are amazing. Thanks for posting them.
Pat, how are you and JoJoe doing today? How is Star? Thinking of all of
you today. Hoping & praying that peace & comfort come soon. ((Hugs))
Liz, Smokey & Maggie
Thinking of you.
I'm so sorry to hear that Sherman has gone to the RB. :(
He was a very special husky boy and he was loved by so many here at Pet Talk.
I always loved seeing photos of him from the Dog Park Meetings.
Sending hugs your way.
Hi guys, just thinking about you again today and hope your doing alright.
(((HUGS)))
I am so sorry for your loss Cyber, I cannot believe Sherman has passed away, he was so young!!.. My heart goes out to you and your family, Hug star for me too. I cant imagine what you must be going through right now, I am seriously in tears. May he rest in peace, and you will one day meet again. ((((HUGS))))
Still trying to process all this.
We watched him grow from a lanky adolescent into a handsome strong and agile adult. He was just coming into his prime.
I know we don't get to pick what tragedies we deal with in life. My SIL is a pediatric oncologist, and sees children taken way too young far too often... (God bless her, I don't know how she does it.) But this just feels so unfair, why did it have to be him? I'm angry, I'm sad, I feel powerless, and there are a million little things I'm mad at myself and the doctors for...but, we did what we could, right or wrong, one step at a time, and ultimately, it was a horrible disease that took our sweet Sherman away from us. It wasn’t God, it wasn’t the doctors, it wasn’t neglect on our part… it was cancer.
I'm so grateful we have this board to share on, I know everyone here has (or will) go through having to say goodbye, and it always feels like it's far too soon.
To everyone praying for a miracle, thank you. I believe we got our miracle. Sherman was sick and we didn’t even know it. Who knows how long we had with him, enjoying his company in blissful ignorance, before the disease manifested so obviously? I asked the vet, he said it probably wasn’t very long, maybe a month or so that the disease went undetected. But that month was a hectic and stressful time because we were putting our house up for sale and moving nearly 800 miles. I don’t know how I could have coped with the stress of that plus knowing my boy was so ill. The miracle is that we got to enjoy most of his last days without knowing that death sentance was hanging over us.
Please keep Star in your prayers, she is very depressed. I had to take her into the vets (she's having a little pee problem) and the poor girl was in such a panic. Not like her usual self at all. She just flipped out when the white coat vet came in and they wanted to put her on the exam table. I think she thought she was never going to leave that place, just like Sherman.
She's been so very quiet since he's gone, really distracted. She's lost four pounds. The Animal Wellness essence for Grief & Loss arrived today, so maybe she'll perk up soon.
Poor Star.
*switching gears to praying for Star* *order commenced*
*hugs and scritchies and lots of playful husky vibes to keep her company.*
Sending Koli to you probably wouldn't help matters any would it? ;-p Hey, just thought I'd offer a friend for Star. (I know... we all have our best buds and not any number of friends can replace them.)
Sherman must have been telling Star some awful horror stories!!! Maybe another reading with Nancy is in order.
Poor Star. I'll tell you what, she can borrow my guardian angels now. You all can. I hope she gets better soon. You all have been on my mind a lot. I hope you can find a little peace, soon.
As I continue praying for Sherman, I will pray for Star just as hard. It must be tough for her. Shermie's physical presence may be absent, but his spirit is right beside you, Star. He is with everyone, right within our hearts.
*LES* :(:(
R.I.P. sweet, beautiful Sherman. :(
I am so, so sorry for your loss. :(
Thinking of you all {{Hugs}}.
Poor Star. Prayers on the way.
Dixie has added Star to her prayers.
All of you remain in my thoughts and prayers, Pat. I'm so sorry to hear how badly Star is taking this. My heart goes out with extra kisses and prayers. :( Feel better Star!! :(
Hugs to all of you.
Although I know your thoughts are still on Sherman, try to focus on Star. It sounds like she really needs you now. I know you already know this, guess I just had to say it.
I so hope that the essence you received helps her...and you too. I've been putting them in my palm and rubbing them on Bon's pads. He seems very relaxed and happy and when I'm done I rub his body, ears and face. Then he licks the palm of my hand. It's a very serene time for the two of us and I hope it's the same for you and Star.
Your in my thoughts and prayers every day...
Anna
Last night I wooo'd a poem for Sherman. Mom translated it to people-speak, but it's really much more poignant in husky. Mom made a beautiful picture to go with it.
woos,
Star

My poem for Sherman
by Star
Your golden fluff is everywhere,
reminding us that you’re not here.
Our humans grieve, they do not know
you linger still and did not go.
I hear your padded step go by
when, sleeping in the door, I lie.
I feel your fur against my face
as you curl up beside my place.
I feel your warmth; I smell your breath,
You’ve here in spite of what’s called “death”.
Oh Sherman, Sherman, my dear boy,
I feel your spirit full of joy,
and yet at sunset, cry for you,
and softly howl a husky woo:
a-rooooooooooo,
woo-oooooooo,
a-rooooooooooo,
woo-oooo, woo-ooooo, woooooo
That is a beautiful poem. What a lovely tribute to a remarkable animal.
That's unbelievable, Star. How sweet it is, Pat. I can't stop crying :(
Dance in the Light, Sherman, Dance in the Light,
Dance with the Angels, Dance all Day and all Night ...
Dance in the Light.
Fly High, Dear Sherman ...
May the Fair Winds of God's Breath Fill Your Angel Wings.
Visit your Earthly Home each night, Dear Sherman;
Dry the Tears of Hu-Mom and Hu-Dad with the soft
flutter of your Angel Wings ...
Then visit you grieving Sister Star ~
Brush away her demons with your Wings,
that she might sleep the night ...
Now return to your Eternal Rest,
North of the Rainbow Bridge, your job well done.
Pat, JoJoe, and Star ...
Here's a HeartFelt {{{HUG}}} for each of you.
With Love,
/s/ http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/frown.gif Phred
Oh Star, such a sweet, heartfelt poem. I know you miss your buddy. You made me cry again. A beautiful poem, indeed. Sadly, some of our best poems are written from sadness.
Oh Phred, that is just beautiful! (More LES) You know, reading this, I can easily picture Sherman with angel wings, they suit him well.
Yes, Sherman, my angel boy, please brush us all with your angel wings, and comfort your dear sweet Star, who misses you so.
what a lovely poem Star!!...... LES........ and more LES.....
I am so terribly sorry about the loss of your beautiful Sherman!
(((((((HUGS))))))))))

I honestly had no idea Sherman was even sick. I just went and found the thread and I just can't believe I've missed it this whole time. I need to go back and read the thread to see what happened. I am so, so sorry for your loss. RIP Sherman.
same here, tear teary. :( :( I saw this few nights ago with another pet talker, could not know what to say but can't say nothing - loss at words still, I missed so much. one of disadvantages being on roadtrip I guess.
(((((may you all lay in my thoughts!))))) :(
Sweet Star, your poem did me in. Bless you, darling.
Wow, that was really nice Phred!
Oh Star that is such a beautiful poem! Thank you for sharing it with your humans and having them translate it for us. *huggles*

We ended up down some back road, not really lost but we had barely a relative clue as to where we were at. The road was lined with lots of mature trees and plenty of water in sight. When we finally came upon a road sign we found out we were on Sherman Rd. :D We decided to continue being "lost" on our way home (problem was is that we eventually surrounded by "Dead End" 's and had to backtrack. ...and we took the highway back home (instead of the usual way or Sherman Rd which ran along side it a bit.)
(No, I'm not making that up... but I only planned on typing out the part about being on Sheman Rd. As i typed out the rest of the story though i found it to be a morbid similarity to reality.)
But yeah... I thought it was neat that by chance S.O. missed the usual road and we later ended up on Sherman Rd. :cool:
Oh Star, that was BEAUTIFUL!!! (BIG time LES)
Please forgive me for just seeing this, I've been on vacation and not home much because of out of town family have been in.
Prayers for Star.
Just wanted to check in and see how you are doing? I have been thinking about all of you all week and just now had a chance to come on pt and see what has been going on. I hope the prayers and hugs from us all are comforting you some, still praying and hoping you and your family still feel the love and comfort from us, I know this is a really rough time right now.
