In Loving Memory Of Mishomii
1998 - 20111
May He Rest In Peacee

At approximately 6 p.m. on July 30, 2011, our beloved Mishomi passed on to the Sky People.  His beautiful soul is now at peace and out of pain.

 

 It is heartbreaking to watch someone or something you love pass before you.  Yet, in this case, being next to Mishomi, touching his sweet face and whispering in his ears, made the heartache deeper and somehow easier.

We have known for a while that Mishomi was ill, but he always soldiered on.  After the unfortunate Pepperoni Incident on July 9, 2011 (a visitor (against WMS rules, gave him pepperoni which caused his stomach to bloat), Mishomi began a swift decline.  The vet discovered that Mishomi had cancer all the way through his alimentary canal and gastrointestinal tract.  He was in pain, and a lot of it.  The cancer was systemic.  There was nothing the vet or we could have done to prolong Mishomi’s life.  No prayer was going to magically make him well.  No medicine was going to make him well.  The tremendously difficult decision to ease his passing had to be made..

Mishomi was carried outside to a grassy area.  He laid there, allowing all of us to pet him.  We could see how labored his breathing was and the dimming of his spirit.  We knew.  He knew.  It still hurt every second of every minute of every hour we were there.  But we take solace that Mishomi was able to pass under the wide blue sky on cool sweet grass with a soft breeze to ease his way..

I was so blessed that, toward the end, Mishomi laid his head against my leg.  It was all I could do to keep giving him my love through my hands, letting him know that he was safe.  The sun sparkled off his white fur.  His toes twitched.  His eyes pleaded with us.  It was time..

Stephanie and I laid close to Mishomi’s head, stroking his muzzle and ears, telling him how much we love him, how we will miss him, how special he is, and how he will live in our hearts always.  When the vet finally administered the drugs, we could see his last breath, could feel the last warm exhalation through his majestic nose, and gaze in his wise amber eyes to see the flight of his spirit.  We whispered for his peace, for his soul, for his spirit, for his brothers and sisters who waited for him on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.  We asked him to greet us when it is our turn to travel … to show us the way..

Mishomi is now with Apache Moon, Gabriella, Niosha, Tamaka, Sedona, Durango, Dakota and Waylon.  He is with his pack..

We shall miss you, Mishomi.  The world is less bright tonight.  Many pillows will be damp from tears shed in your honor..

Namaste.  A-Ho.  Amen.  Until the morrow..

PS:  The song I repeatedly sang to Mishomi was “Your Long Journey.”  I am most familiar with the version sung by Alison Krauss and Robert Plant on their phenomenal album, Raising Sand.”  Here are the lyrics..

God’s given us years of happiness heree
Now we must partt
And as the angels come and call for youu
The pains of grief tug at my heartt

Oh my darlingg
My darlingg
My heart breaks as you take your long journeyy

Oh the days will be emptyy
The nights so long without you my lovee
And when god calls for you I’m left alonee
But we will meet in heaven abovee

Oh my darlingg
My darlingg
My heart breaks as you take your long journeyy

Fond memories I’ll keep of happy wayss
That on earth we trodd
And when I come we will walk hand in handd
As one in heaven in the family of godd

Oh my darlingg
My darlingg
My heart breaks as you take your long journeyy

Thanks to VCA-Lakeside to let everyone take the time to be with Mishomi during his passing..

In attendance:  Tonya, Bob, Stephanie, Amy, Alec, Rick, Donna, Stacy, Nellie, Gilbert, and Michaell
