Somewhere Over the Rainbow Bridge

I am really not the right person to be writing this blog post, because there is so much more to the story that I do not have all the details to. (My sister will write a post later.) But I do know that this dog saved my sister when she was so sick, and weary with Chronic Fatigue. I know that there was something truly special about Sage, because even I loved being around her, and cuddling her, and that's not normal. There was just something in her eyes -- an understanding. Sage was love.
Pure love, covered in fur.
This has been very hard for my sister's family, and it has touched us all deeply, because she is so special. And death is sad, and painful. Sage was with them for 10 years. She is family. Sage is a beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog, and she loved the Alaskan wilderness. She went on adventures with them, she rescued them from danger, and helped them in very challenging moments in their lives. She was just a treasure of a dog. She was a wonderful, beautiful, animal. An extraordinary creation. A truly special spirit.
When a dog dies they say they, "Cross the Rainbow Bridge."
With that thought in mind, I put this video together for their family.
You can see how much she was truly loved. And how much she loved truly.
Sage, you are loved and missed.
I hope you are having fun with Charles. He can certainly use your love and cuddles.
Watch over him for me, will you?
This is Sage saying, "Don't mess with my brother and sister!"
My sister's dog died this weekend. She was not your average dog, this was Sage -- she was a healer, a comforter, a protector, a friend. She was heaven-sent to their family. The word Sage means a person of profound wisdom. She certainly lived true to her name.

Super sad.
ReplyDeletei'm sorry they lost sage...animals have a special place in heaven i think. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful video. There is something special about a family dog. I would say I am not really a dog person but after getting Sadie she has definitely found her way into all of our hearts. I'm sorry for your sister and her family.
ReplyDeleteI am so sad for them! Such a great dog for a great family! She will definitely be missed! I loved watching the slide show you put together, that was very nice of you!

Thank you for posting this today Mari. It so wonderful to see some of our wonderful memories w/ Sage. Today is Sage's 10th bday. We really missed seeing her enjoy her bowl of vanilla ice cream.
ReplyDeleteAll you said regarding this amazing dog is true.
She is a beautiful creature of our God and King. We listened to that song tonight during FHE...."All things, bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small...all things WISE and wonderful, our Lord God made them all....." So fitting. I am so thankful that Sage was made for our family.
I definitely plan to post on my blog this week about our super Sage. I am too exhausted from all the tears right now, but I know writing about her will be healing. I keep checking to fill her water bowl before bed the past couple nights and the water bowl is no longer there. I keep waiting for her to come down the stairs to greet us w her beautiful, long tail wagging vigorously, when she hears us coming in the house. There is an emptiness in our hearts and in our home. We miss her so.....
Happy Birthday Sage!
Make sure Charles gives you a belly scratch. ; )
love,
Kary
