Tree of Life

We all thank you so much for your emails, comments and cards. They meant so much to us.

And we really appreciate your patience as we took a few days break from blogging.

And while we are still sad and missing our big Kode Red.

We know the perfect place to spread his ashes so that he will always be close to us.

Now is the time for us to look forward to new adventures - and we are ready to share those new adventures with you again.

But never forgotten, Kodi, never forgotten.

    I couldn’t post anything else after reading about Kodiak….had to cry and hug my 2 sibe babies and told them what happened to K.

    The tree is a wonderful place for Kodiak since it has been such a special place for you and the herd.

    Sorry it took me so long to find this. What a sweet tribute. I’d imagine the tree will grow even more beautiful thanks to Kodiak.

    That looks like an awesome place for Kodiak’s resting place. We know how you feel, I have the hardest time watching our other dogs go through the grief process. Please know I am thinking of you guys and the rest of the herd. Remember all your great memories of Kodiak and take it one day at a time. Sniffs, The HoundDogs

  31. KB on October 7, 2011 at 9:18 am

    Never, ever forgotten. He’s part of your heart and every member of the Herd’s heart.

    Your tree looks beautiful, and like a very peaceful place for Kodiak’s ashes.

  32. HUSKYS RULE on October 7, 2011 at 8:40 am

    Absolutely the perfect spot for Kodiak’s ashes! The tree will be so amazingly beautiful when the leaves are all red. We will never forget you Kode Red!

  33. Becky on October 7, 2011 at 8:11 am

    Oh what a perfect place for that big red boy! He’ll always
    be there watching over your beautiful tree and field and waiting for your visits.

  36. Ice 'n Ayla on October 7, 2011 at 5:49 am

    Oh, Kodiak — sadly missed, but never forgotten. Run, run, run, wild and free across the fields and through the woods you loved so much.
    Me’n Ice will miss you when our hu-Mom reads about the Herd.

  37. Painter Pack on October 7, 2011 at 4:34 am

    What a beautiful place…for a beautiful soul. Thank you for letting us in your lives…and introducing us to the big hearted Kode red….

  38. Wild Dingo on October 7, 2011 at 2:52 am

    No doubt the red leaves will shine even brighter next to Kode Red. He does live on in our hearts and memories. We will all miss Kodi at Wild Dingo and think of him often. Especially when Juno is having one of her her “love on a human moment.” Big hugs to the entire herd, 4- and 2-legged.

  39. MurphyDog on October 7, 2011 at 2:02 am

    we will all miss Kodiak, but we will also remember all the good times you’ve had together.
    RIP Big Red

  40. Carol's Critter Corner on October 7, 2011 at 1:58 am

    God Bless and hope everyone is ok. It saddens me to think of big Kode Red. Yes, Kodiak will love where his ashes will be and with fall in the air it is perfect.

    Carol

  41. Holly & Khady on October 7, 2011 at 1:57 am

    Let those loving memories keep your heart full when there is a big part of it that seems missing. He is still there, and always will be.

  42. hisqueen on October 7, 2011 at 1:12 am

    Oh Kodiak. What a perfect place to be laid to rest. With the beautiful red leaves waiting for your arrival. The tree brought on the tears with those red leaves. A wonderful place of rest for an awesome pup.
