In Loving Memory |
Thordunu Skrama Our Elsie's sister in Iceland was struck by a car just days before her third birthday. Although we never met Skrama, we watched her grow via email and mourn her loss, along with her family |
Runestone Cacao Our Kaffi's daughter was struck by a car at just over a year old. She was a delightful and well loved puppy. Our heart goes out to her family, kennel mom and we grieve along with them for her. |
Áróra and Mýsla were born quite small just over 2 ounces, very small for Icelandic puppies. We were able to love, care for and name them for just 3 weeks before they left us. Both little girls were tough as nails just like their Dam, our Thordunu Leppatuska "Elsie". Sadly, their little bodies couldn't support them and they both passed away at 3 weeks. We miss our tiny girls immensely, they were just so precious. |
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put his arms around you and whispered "come to me". With tearful eyes I watched you, and saw you pass away. Although I loved you dearly, I could not make you ...stay. A golden heart stopped beating hard working hands at rest. God ...broke my heart to prove to me that He only takes the BEST. |
Dogs are a huge part of our life here, although society says we "own" them, they are more family and friend than a possession. When they leave us we grieve for them. We want to remember some special "friends" here |
Chisick Farms Lars Beloved member of the Lopresti family and our Fox Meadow Kjartan Svartalfur's best buddy. Lars passed away in the fall of 2010 after succumbing to a systemic infection. We mourn the loss of their beautiful boy along with them. |
AKC-CH, International National CH Fox Meadow Þorra Garri Feb 13, 2011 - March 26, 2013 Garri was a beautiful incredibly sweet dog and a much loved member of our family. He passed away suddenly on March 26, 2013 as a result of a massive hemorrhage caused by a tumor on his heart. The necropsy revealed that this tumor was undetectable and even if it had been there would have been nothing they could have done for Garri and it would have been only a matter of time before we lost him. This tumor has no genetic or environmental causes known to the attending veterinarian and as he stated, "it is just one of those insidious things they have no explanation for." Garri was our second AKC Champion from the Bred by Class and was already working on his Grand Championship when he passed away. Garri was a delight to have around and a wonderful partner in competition. His passing has broken the hearts of all in our home. To learn more about Garri please visit his page |
