oscar's mom Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I'm sorry to hear of Packy's passing. As many have said before me I really enjoyed watching and reading the adventures of Packy at the lake and the farm. He will be remembered by many of us on the forum and loved by you always. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shergry Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 So sorry to read this, but Packy must be teaching those that went before us how to fish. He had such great adventures, and brother Kirby will for sure carry the legacy on. Many hugs and prayers for many, many happy memories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindaMC Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I knew this day would come but was hoping that it wouldn't be this soon. I so enjoyed hearing all the stories of Packy's fishing adventures, he was such an amazing little Cairn. Like all the others on this forum, I am heartbroken for you and your family. Rest in Peace little long liner, I hope that you'll be catching lots and lots of fish at the bridge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kjwarnold Posted August 19, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2016 Thanks all, for your kind words. I'd say we're still in a little shock even though we knew it was coming. Two days before, Packy was digging for a gopher and taking a walk around the farm. Kirby is doing okay but I catch him looking a little lost at times and I believe he's missing Packy (that's Kirby in the pic below). We've had lots of distractions this week so that helps. We won't be going back to the lake for a couple of weeks but when we do, Packy is going with us and his ashes will rest with the fishies he loved. 12 Quote Jandy and my Cairns, Kirby & Phinney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I Am Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) A tough time for you, your family and Kirby. But happy that Packy's wee soul will be in the place that brought him much joy. I will never forget the pictures and videos of Packy saving you and the little Cairn that loved fishing. Thank you for sharing his life with us. I feel such a part of your grief but also your joy of having had such a wonderful boy in your life.

hheldorfer Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 That picture of Kirby is so sad. Poor boy. When you return Packy to the lake he loved, please add a final 'goodbye' from all of us here. Wish we could be there to say it ourselves. Every Cairn who has passed brings tears to my eyes but the loss of Packy was a real punch to the gut that isn't going away anytime soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_whits_ Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Give Kirby lots of cuddles from Addie and I. You and your family are being very brave and strong through this process. I'm comforted to hear that Packy will be swimming with his fish in the place he loved. 1 Quote "as far as i am concerned cairns are the original spirit from which all terriers spring, and all terriers are cairns very deep down inside." pkcrossley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillscreek Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Packy is going where he loved to be. Kirby we send you love and hugs. We know you miss your buddy. I know how it was for my brother and sister jrt's. We had them since they were 5 weeks old. Brother died at 14 and sister moped for quite a while after even though there were other dogs around. Grief has to be worked through for dogs as well as people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn & Lola Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I shed many tears upon hearing of Packy's passing, but to read you are going to return him to the lake and the "fishies he loved" really turned on the waterworks. Such a fitting tribute and resting place for him. I'm sorry for your family and for little Kirby. I know you all miss your pal very much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3AMJuggernaut Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 What a talent your little guy had! It's so amazing and cool how they all have such distinct personalities and gifts. I'm so sorry that you had to say a temporary goodbye to him. I know how painful it can be. If possible, take comfort in knowing he had the best life possible with you.

kjwarnold Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 "Hey, Moggie! Have you ever caught a fish? Let me teach you! It's fun," is what Packy must be saying right now. Im sorry for your loss of Moggie. It's hard, isn't it? And why does it feel so quiet? 9 Quote Jandy and my Cairns, Kirby & Phinney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
