❤I love the tribute and tender words you shared with us. Pet grief is very real and can hit us sometimes harder that a grief for a person. Please don't listen to people about how to deal with your grief and you will go through all the stages of grief. I know this is a hard time for you (I too have been there with our cat of 19 years last year) Rasta is a very special dog and you carry his love in your heart! ❤

The most I have cried in a very long time. Rasta was an important part of my mother and I's life the past few years. I know you are strong. I didn't even know he was that ill. It completely caught me off guard.

I look forward to your "farewell tour" even though I know I will shed more tears. It was wonderful to see a happy, healthy Rasta again in your tribute--so many of his favorite things I forgot, like pine cones and icicles and sticks. We shared your joy; it is fitting that we also share your grief.

I know how hard this is. but I am so happy that you will be returning Rasta to the streams and Fields and mountains that he loved so much. And then when you go out to enjoy those same places, you’ll feel him all around you. Rasta was the most handsome dog and so beloved by all of us. Thank you for sharing his life with us. Thinking of you with a heavy heart, knowing your sadness . ❤❤❤❤

Sweet tribute to take him to all his favorite places . I just received this message so probably you have already taken his ashes. I am sorry for the sadness this has caused. I have always had little yorkies , little clowns . So their ashes are kept in the beautiful boxes . Thank you for sharing your story. Rasta will always be remembered as the best, beautiful white shepherd who loved every second of his life with you . ✌️♥️♥️♥️🤍

Today will be another emotional day. Rasta will come home—in the form of ashes. Then it will become really real again.
We had him cremated at the Kirchberg crematorium. It was clear to us that we would not keep his ashes at home. Rasta was an outdoor dog and loved being outside in nature.
So we're going to take him on a kind of “farewell tour” to all his favorite places (and there were many). We're going to the places where he was happiest, where he was free, where he had a smile on his face and could explore the mountains.
I know that I will meet him somewhere there, and somewhere there we will return his ashes—to a place where he was closest to Mother Earth.
For me, Rasta is in every leaf, every stream, every dandelion, he is in every meadow and on every hiking trail. He is in every snowflake, in every icicle, and when I see a snowman, I know that it would not have survived an encounter with Rasta. That's how I will always remember him – I hope you will too.
