Laska - was my world my life for 15 long years. She was the kindest, sweetest loving husky I knew. She would do anything for me. We had an immense bond. She let me pick her up carry her in my arms when I needed to. Always relaxed around me. Talk to me with her cute little way when she wanted something. She was such an affectionate girl.

She fell ill to acute lymphocytic Leukemia ( cancer of the blood) early July this year. We put her on predislone but nothing more, no chemo just wanted her to have some quality of life before it was time.

SHe was fighter, never gave up no matter what. She also had osteoarthritus, we gave her all the right things to help with that all natural ( fish oil, synflex glucosamine, good high quality food diet kept her in the best shape possible I could)

On fateful Saturday morning she had a massive seizure, we rushed her to vet and he diagnosed her saying seziure was result of cancer spreading to brain. She possibly had developed a brain tumour. The vet said it would get worse and she would have more seizures after this one. She tried to get up of the floor persisting with her two front feet but her back legs didnt budge. She resigned to fact she couldnt get up, I cried so so much it was so heart wrenching that morning but we had to do the right thing by her, no more pain or suffering.

I spent two hours with her at the vet that morning after she was put to sleep. I didnt want to leave her side.

I then had to leave. I came back in the afternoon for one last goodbye.
She was wrapped up in plastic bag - open so I could still give her last kiss. I cried so much. I wont forget that day still so clear in my mind.

We decided to cremate her and her ashes are with us at home.


Cancer spread so quickly, she only showed some signs day before, when she refused to eat - like other people post her, Laska refused her favourite treat CHEESE)

We loved her so much and still to this day I think of her each and every day and hope she is running free and playing with all other huskies at rainbow bridge free of any pain. I do hope she knows how much I loved her and I still do. I have pictures on my walls of her, photos of her.

I try and think of the good times we have had, Kira our new little one as mentioned in other posts is also lovely but she is not Laska. She has her own personality.

Laska will be in my heart forever and ever.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm in tears here Laska knew how much you loved her and that you were the best mom ever. She's watching over you always

I am so, so sorry for your tremendous loss . My heart is just breaking for you. We lost our Lhasa Apso, Bailey, back in August. He was almost 18 years old. I still think of him every day too, he will never be replaced...I totally know what you are going through . Just know in your heart that your friend will always be watching over you, and that one day you will see each other again

The pain lessens but the memories stay strong for ever. Blessed be Laska

I am so sorry for your lost..

Thank you everyone for your kind words.

So sorry for your loss, you had many of happy yrs with her and plenty of memories to remind you of her. she im sure is still by your side but just on the other side.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know what it is like. Before Dragon, I had a border collie/spitz mix for about 9 years named Beau, whom we adopted so I'm sure exactly how old he was but he was my best friend and his kidneys got infected and had a kidney stone the size of one of his kidneys that was going to cause too many complications and $$$- I still lived with my parents and they couldn't afford the bills so we had no choice but to put him down he was in so much pain. It is SO awful, I cried for days. But Beau knew we loved him, Laska knows too! Be encouraged and love your new little one.. Spend your excess time with her so that you don't have too much time to mope. Laska wouldn't want that. It is so hard but it gets easier and now I can look back and smile and remember my Beaubuddy with joy. They aren't hurting anymore!

Thanks Jennifer, I hope she is. So sorry to hear about your loss of Beau ( Lauren) that so sad. You did the right thing for Beau, being in so much pain would be unbearable. I do love Kira, she is an amazing little girl. As you say we must think of the joy and happy times they brought us.

Sorry to hear about your loss. She'll always be with you in spirit.

Its now been almost four months since she passed, I still miss he so much. SHe will always have a special place in my heart. This was one of the last photos a couple of weeks before she passed. She was my best friend.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Such a beautiful girl. She's watching over you now and always

Thanks Mellisa.

She was beautiful and may she rest in peace <3
