lukasmom Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 I talked with Luka last night thru my animal communicator Latifa. It made me feel better.He is happy, running a lot and feels great. My Scout and Peace helped him cross over and he said the journey was amazing. He asked me to stop telling him I am sorry, he said I did everything right. I prevented much suffering. He said he was back in the house and he sees me and hears me. He is sleeping in my bed. He told my greyhound Carter what was happening and the birds as well. Our cockatiel who was crazy about him asked if he could go to the bridge with him. Luka told him no, his work here was not done. He is happy I am getting a new hound and told me not to compare the new one to him, accept the new hound for who he is. Scout asked about the new thing I hung on the wall. It is a wood carving of Luka which I just put up on Saturday. He asked how long I was going to leave it up, it is ugly he said. I asked if he would like it better if was a carving of him and he said yes.That is my Scout! The licking that he did excessively for the past few months on his back legs was cause by him feeling vibrations from the nerves. They would move around. He told me last fall that something was going on with his spine and it would not show up on xrays. He was right. He was my best friend. I will love and miss him forever.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queenwinniesmom Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 What a unique, special, complex, funny, loving guy he was. Thank-you for letting us feel as though we knew him too, through your eloquent tribute. How blessed you both were to have shared each others lives. I'm so sorry you lost your best friend, but glad that he's let you know he is safe and with you still.

lukasmom Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of Luka's passing. I am taking the day off as I do not want to be sitting at my desk crying. I just still can't wrap my head around the fact that he is really gone. I never would have guessed that morning that I would be setting him free in a few hours. This time last year he was still with me. I am talking to my animal communicator Monday evening. I am curious if he still comes to the house and sees me still profoundly sad at his passing. I will spend a lifetime missing my sweet, sweet boy. I know my boy Carter misses him too. But he is an awesome brother to my new girl Neko. He learned from the best, my baby Luka. Rest well my love, I look forward to the day you coming running back into my arms. This time I will never let you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistysmom Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 What a beautifully written tribute! I just lost my Misty and I feel the same way. We feel so lost without them, but we can feel good that they had such wonderful lives. Luka sounds like a special dog who touched many people. I always called Misty my "ambassadog" for being such an inspiring representative of the breed and charming so many people. They are all special, but some are "especially special."
