WALKER

I received a candle from a good friend today after having to put down our 15 year old GOLDEN RETRIEVER. What a wonderful product you have to honor those that have served us very well. Walker grew up in Northern MN on 4 acres and a lake to swim in spring, summer and fall.  She had such a wonderful spirit. We always knew that the day would come and we would have to say goodbye to her. How would we know??????? Just another normal day in our lives when something changed. The last night of her life she did not sleep all night and every time my husband and I looked at her she was looking at us and she was telling us that it time to say goodbye. 6:16 a.m. our lives were changed. Walker could not even get up and every attempt for her, she would fall down. We called our friend who had been her vet since she was born. Steve came out to the house and we talked and laughed and shared many stories. Walker loved her uncle Steve (her vet) and he loved her. We said goodbye, hugged and kissed her and thanked her for the wonderful 15 years. She passed so peacefully and it was not 10 minutes later that we saw the bald eagle pass over our home. We have an eagle that nests down at the end of our lake and we had not seen it for weeks, what a wonderful sign. Native Americans say that when an eagle appears after a death it comes to take the spirit to a better place. That not only happened with Walker but also with the last Golden that we had, Kinda (child in German). We had to put down Kinda at the age of 14. They both died almost 15 years to the date of one another. We had Walker cremated and she will be with us forever and when we do leave our lake home we will spread some of her ashes over the land that she loved. "Well done my good and faithful servant" Matthew 25:21.
