Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

My sweet Martha... she went away too soon... too much young. Our hearts are destroyed. Martha was our sweet Queen, we loved her so much! We aren't still able to accept that she has gone away... but this is the reality. We hope only that there where she is now she will be happy. We are sure that she is still a Queen. We will never have another Malamute, another girl like her and this is a certainty.

Goodbye sweet Queen :'(

† 08/30/1993 - 01/14/2008 †

Jurášek "Rex Cold Valley of Keema's Wolf Pak" was a great champion. He was 15 years old when he died, some days ago. A great loss for the breed in Europe, Jurášek was so perfect and one of the last sons of the great Ch. Storm Kloud's Ccyrus Rex Valae and Ch. Mackenzie Keema's Wolf Pak. Raised by Anita Muspach and owned and loved by Michaela and Milan Purnochovi. The Cold Valley's estimators are crying his loss, Jurášek leaves a great void in our hearts. Michaela and Milan didn't have words to express their pain but I have thought that he would have deserved to be remembered with respect.. now he is in the Rainbow Bridge too.

My dear Kolly,

You have been for us a sweet little girl, we have loved you and you have return with your affection. From when you are entered in our life, at home you have brought us only joy and love!!! We miss you so much, even if you were "only" a dog we have loved you so much like if you were a dear person of the family.

It's with great sadness that I report the passing of our Shyla , Ch Kumata's Absolut Angel ROM. She was our first champion , our foundation bitch and our couch potato. She was beautiful in every way , her passing has created a void in our hearts that cannot be filled. She helped create the wonderful family we have now. Shyla produced a total of nine pups from two litters and five of those went on to be our first generation champions. A friend we will never forget. She will live forever in our hearts.
Shyla... You truly were an angel sent down from heaven. I know in time we will forget the hurt and just remember all those wonderful things you gave us. Things that will forever be a part of our lives. I remember the day I picked you out. Of the pups that ran into the kitchen, you came straight to me. You ran into the water bowl and splashed in the water and chased the ball around the kitchen. Your facial expressions , your ability to almost talk and absolute liveliness were infectious. These qualities would stay with you till the end. You helped create the wonderful family we have now and we can not thank you enough for that. You will always be the Queen. Our "Absolut Angel".
Love Forever,
Eric and Julie

It's with  great sadness and flowing tears that I report the passing of one of the MOST wonderful dogs brought to this earth.. AUSTIN... A/C Ch. Terrapin Kasaan's Look 'O Fortune, CGC, ROM. Austin lost his battle to renal failure today, March 26, 2007 after 3 LONG years at the age of 13. He was sired by our DESTRY.. Bis Biss A/C Ch. Storm Kloud's Fortune O'Kasaan, ROM and out of  Cheryl Paterson's TERRAPIN... Bis Biss A/C Ch. Byeyo's Champagne 'N Ice, CD ROM, CAM. For all of you who knew him, or  bred to him, you know what an absolutely WONDERFUL dog he was!! Austin was our housedog and 'puppy sitter' to all the Kasaan babies. Those soft eyes and gentle woo's will forever be in grained in our hearts and souls. His show career was impressive as hell, however, it was his producing record that excelled. Top Producing  AMCA stud dog, by age  4.  He sired numerous BOB, Group winner, group placers, and Specialty winners. He finished his American championship with 3 back to back 4 point majors, a Grand Sweeps win and his Canadian title in one weekend. For me, the biggest pinnacle in his life was just being AUSTIN!! My best friend, listener to ALL my good and bad days, couch snuggler and of course the official Kasaan greeter when coming home from work. And for him... I was his 'main squeeze'.  Not very receptive at first to the new man in my life 7 years ago, Austin soon became Steve's BEST friend!!  Who wouldn't be with ice cream every night and those long pats and cuddles.  It became apparent to Austin I now had to share my life with 2 men!! Yes, today was again a VERY hard day and the decision to let him go was one of the toughest ones I have ever had to make.  And each time as these grand old dogs get older..the days go by faster and before you know it, we are saying our final goodbyes.  Hoping for just one more day. One more lick to the face and maybe even  just one more high five with those big huge feet. And then there is  that last huge cuddle telling them that everything will be better now. So, when you look into those soft loving brown eyes, remember that our dogs give us more than we can ever give to them.  UNCONDITIONAL love and complete understanding, NO matter what happens in our every day life!  Bonnie

Today Zoe has gone away, we don't have words to describe the affection that we had for her. She was our sweet princess. To say that we loved her is very few. She has meant so much for us.... Al Qantarah wouldn't exist if there was not her. She was the foundation bitch of our breeding...
The worse thing has been to take the decision to make to sleep her forever... but she was suffering so much... her kidneys have stopped to working... our sweet princess... She doesn't suffer anymore now... and she rests close to her little niece Vera... under the shade of a tree.
We will NEVER forget her!
Mama and daddy

Gale (E, Am, Int Ch. Wild West Texas Gale), was 12 years old and had to lead with a cancer for a very short time. She doesn't suffer and was sweet and happy until her last moment. Gale has been a wonderful bitch, a wonderful and wild "lobita". She had a very special character, different, was a Malamute even between Malamutes. She was sweet and simultaneously wild and proud, it never accepted nobody imposing nothing to her by the force. With her, you need to discuss all situations. She was a magnificent working dog , tireless, proud of her condition. I was very moved but also happy to be with her in her last moments and say her good bye my dear. We will never forget you.
