Navarre - My Man

[fifi]

Its with a heavy heart that I share my sad news, our old boy was peacefully put to sleep today.

Navarre...my beautiful CH Beleriand Dragonsbane. The boy in my avatar.

It was time, he needed to leave his tired body. He had battled prostate & bladder cancer.

He chose the day between the Solstice and Christmas - so I guess he was hedging his bets.

He has been buried next to our other beloved hounds, and I have a beautiful liquid amber tree to plant upon him.

we loved him so very much, he was an ambassador for wolfhounds in every

way, a gentle companion, a protector of his pack, and a wonderful show dog - winning many class in groups, a few BIG, and Runner up in show at the wolfhound specialty. He gained a little fan club who loved his gentle smile and leaning.

more tears still to shed.

fifi, danny & hounds

will try again for pictures later. Navarre is the boy in my avatar.

Fifi so sorry to hear of your loss, may Navarre now run free at the bridge and that every beautiful leaf that the tree produces be a sign of Navarre showing his love to you.

Fifi so sorry to hear of the sad loss of your hearhound Navarre, Christmases will never be the same.

They are amazing for they know when it is time to go, it us that find it so hard.

Take angel wings sweet boy and fly to the where you can watch over and protect your earthly family

You are right Moop, thank you for reminding me, his baby pic won a photo competition on here a few years ago, and the huge kong toy that Troy donated is still in use - with our youngest boy.

Tamsyn is missing him terribly, so she is inside with me today.

Run free Navarre

This was sent to me through a list I am on & I think it is good to share it here for Navarre

I'M SPENDING CHRISTMAS WITH JESUS THIS YEAR

I see the countless Christmas trees

Around the world below

With tiny lights, like heaven's stars,

Reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular,

Please wipe away that tear.

For I'm spending Christmas

With Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs

that people hold so dear.

But the sounds of music can't compare

With the Christmas choir up here.

For I have no words to tell you

The joy their voices bring,

For it is beyond description

To hear an angel sing.

I can't tell you of the splendor,

or the peace here in this place.

Can you just imagine Christmas

With our Savior, face to face?

I'll ask Him to light your spirit,

As I tell Him of your love.

So then, pray for one another

As you lift your eyes above.

Please let your hearts be joyful,

and let your spirit sing,

For I'm spending Christmas in heaven,

and I'm walking with the king!

[griff]

Ohhh FiFi... I am so very sorry

my deepest Condolences to you and all at Hobbitt Hollow.

R.I.P. Navarre , run free dear Lad.

[misha&milo]

R.I.P

We all here at DOL are thinking of you

at this very sad time.

[Trisven13]

Oh Fifi & Danny - I'm soooo very sorry to hear of your loss and so close to Christmas. Hugs to you all and I hope the Liquid Amber planted in his honour gives you many years of pleasure (they are a favourite tree of mine).

[fifi]

Thanks, we raised a glass in his honour tonight, to Navarre - a life well lived & loved.

Oh i'm so sorry for your loss Fifi.

Navarre will enjoy the peace within the Mother's garden, with those who have gone before him, while waiting in due time for his other pack members to arrive and join him.
