lieve Tungsten ik hou van je


 dear Tungsten passed away today, he stopped eating yesterday or was it the day before, he threw up all the water he did manage to drink, he was hurting, it was enough; I am very sad

When I hear of news of loved ones passing, I go to my blessing altar and light a candle. Please know that one is lit right now for dear Tungsten, for you, your husband, your boys, all who knew of this wonderful dog and loved him...he will live forever in our hearts.

I am so sad with you, Saskia. I could always hear him panting on the paths with you when you'd write about your walks, those labs are such big presences, in the woods and fields especially.

Saskia, I know you from Windthread grace. I am sorry to hear of your precious tungsten s last journey. It's. so hard to lose a friend who is a dog. They just seem to fill a space in our heart that no human can reach. Take special care of your selves now... Sending love... Nance

Nance thank you so much for your kind words; what you say about how a dog fills a particular place in our hearts is so very true....we will bury him tomorrow in one of his favourite spots, a beautiful place we can visit and know he was happy there

When I opened your email, even knowing he was not well...
My response was, No No No. I'm so very sorry for this huge loss of yours (and your family's). I will always picture him, straight back and head down investigating on the daily walk.
Sending hugs.

Saskia, I have been following your blog now for many months; my dear friend Grace sent me to find your wonderful words, walks, fiber art and heart. Losing a canine loving friend who holds a most precious place in the heart and spirit of the human they live with is a very big event. May Tungsten's spirit ever be with you as you walk in your beautiful places and bless him now as he flies free among the stars.

Dear Tungsten,
your life is a gift I am grateful for,
may your spirit fly free,
blessed be.

Tears as I listen to this beautiful music and think of your breaking heart. Mine breaks with you for all the furred companions that have gone beyond, and for the one who is here with me now, who may follow soon-ish. Peace to you, Saskia.
