[Dailydrool] My Montana Moment Feb.17th,2013

[Leslie]

well  as you experience often from time to time..........yesterday at 
about 2pm my Lakota Sue passed away quietly and serenely right here in 
my living room on her fluffy large round bed.  Kota Sue was Augustus 
McCrae's Mom.......
Gussie left for the bridge oct.12 and now 4 months later his momma.   I 
was right here doing puter work and yaking on phone and she left 
peacefully and beautifully for the bridge. I turned around and she was 
gone. ?
She was 17years old and on pred and tramadol because she lost her rear 
legs months ago and the meds kept her going.

She enjoyed her meatball at 10am filled with her meds, but refused 
breakfast.    She did that at times so it was not a great worry for me.  
A few hours later she passed over to the bridge very comfortable and I 
am so grateful.
  Karen H. one of our volunteers and the only one of 3 people that could 
pet LAKOTA came and helped me dig a grave.  Snowing lightly and with 
quiet grace........we dug and dug in the hard cold ground and finally 
had to call for some man power which came over to help us girls.  Odd 
that I felt the need not to have her cremated like Gussie.......I needed 
her here with me next to Argus.....my German Shepherd who is buried out 
front where he always went to go sniff and explore.  Odd, very odd for me.
As I am sobbing and digging her grave, Karen said "Why not put Gussies' 
ashes with his momma?"   That was a very calming and good suggestion and 
in a short calm ceremony........Gussie was laid next to his momma and 
both were covered with all our love and devotion that both gave to us. 
Bless their loving souls and my babies both together now rest in 
heavenly peace right here in front for me to be close to while I am alive.
For the folks back in the late 1990's.....remembering how thru a twist 
of fate Partner and I wanted to save Bassets and continue this 
organization that Donna Owens started and stopped after a few 
years.......well   that is when I got Lakota Sue from Donna and my first 
puppy Augustus McCrae.  Now that both are gone, their passing has 
brought /AN END OF AN ERA
/to Basset Rescue of Mt.//
