I am so sorry to hear of Shadow's passing. May your wonderful memories of her carry you through these sad days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-news-re-shadow/page/3#post-1002637 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:49:36 +0000 Kari 1002637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so very much. I can't tell you how much your support and compassion have helped. </p> <p>I've dreaded Shadow's death for so long, ever since she became a super-senior dog. Not that the fear got in the way of my loving or enjoying her, but still, I knew it would come sooner or later and prayed it wouldn't be painful or drawn out. I also hoped she would not be alone if something happened to her. </p> <p>I will always miss her and know I will never meet another dog quite like her. She was really something special. </p> <p>She had an amazing sense of humor (anyone who says dogs don't laugh never saw Shadow while we played hide and seek!) and was SO quick to learn, but she also was very much the gentle shepherd. She kept tabs on us all, making sure we were home and went to bed on time. Even after she grew very old, she followed us around the house to make sure we stayed in sight (particularly after she lost her hearing and couldn't rely on sounds to track us!) She loved men and would go all doe-eyed for B, flirting like crazy. She loved to chase us, or herd bubbles, but she was so gentle and careful with us. </p> <p>I am so blessed to have had 14 and a half years with such a sweet doggy friend. No length of time could possibly been long enough to have her in my life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-news-re-shadow/page/3#post-1001872 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 22:24:13 +0000 Deborah 1001872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, I am so sorry for your loss.

What a beautiful girl. Thank you for sharing her with us. </p> <p>Sending you some big hugs - and I hope that Shadow gets to meet my Beatrice (giant black lab) and Stormy (tiny toy poodle) along with Rosie &amp; Jasmine in some fabulous doggie wonderland where they're all having a wonderful time. </p> <p>Hang in there Kari - I'll be thinking of you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-news-re-shadow/page/2#post-1001196 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 01:37:57 +0000 Kari 1001196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all. I am so sorry that it has been such a season of loss and grief on YLF. I wish I didn't have my own loss to add, but so many of you that have belonged to and loved animals (or who have experienced loss of a two-legged loved one too) understand what it's like. I so appreciate the supportive and sympathetic thoughts. </p> <p>We will always miss and love Shadow, and it is comforting to think of her being welcomed across the bridge by the many beloved YLF pets that preceded her. I feel like I know many of our furry YLF stars even though I've never met them in real life. </p> <p>See you later, Wodash. I'll sneak a greenie up in my pocket for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-news-re-shadow/page/2#post-1001189 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 01:30:03 +0000 Angie 1001189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, thank you for letting me know privately about your beautiful and extraordinary Shadow. I could use every positive adjective in the world to describe your beloved doggie and still not do her any justice. Dogs affect our souls in the most special way. It's impossible to describe unless you've experienced that kind of love. </p> <p>These photos are beyond stunning and touching. Shadow was your heart-dog, and Greg and I both get that more than anyone. Your immense sadness right now is another thing we can truly empathize with - especially now - nine days after Rosie's passing. We are so very sorry for your loss. I feel I know precious Shadow after seeing her grace the pages of YLF so often, and hearing you speak of her with all the love and devotion she deserved. She's at peace with Jasmine and Rosie now. Lots and lots of love. xoxo</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-news-re-shadow/page/2#post-1001179 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 01:22:53 +0000 Isabel 1001179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, I am so, so sorry. That is a great loss. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-news-re-shadow/page/2#post-1001177 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 01:21:41 +0000 Kari 1001177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your kindness and support. Shadow had a very, very long life, and I had a suspicion due to how much she was slowing down that this summer would be her last, but no amount of time with her could have ever been long enough. She was such a funny, gentle, intelligent friend. </p> <p>To quote my dad, "As a natural herder, she knew her job was to keep track of where each person in the house was at any time. She took that job seriously right up to the last day!"</p> <p>I like to think that she is still keeping track of us, like a good herding dog, watching her "sheep" and waiting to see us again. I will always, always miss my dark-eyed, cock-eared buddy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-news-re-shadow/page/2#post-1001126 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 00:39:10 +0000 pil 1001126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful girl, Kari, I'm so sorry.
