October 28, 2012

I saw on Facebook today that the dog I worked on back on June 17, 2012, Rooster Cogburn had passed on.

I had been trying to get out to him to do more Reiki on him, but had to settle with doing distant work. I was saddened when I saw the post today. Here it is...

To Rooster's dear friends and supporters,

It is with great sadness that Greg and I announce that Rooster decided to cross over the Rainbow Bridge yesterday October 27th, which by no mistake is also National Pitbull Awareness Day. His passing was natural & peaceful and in the loving arms of his Daddy. Rooster knew limitless love since the moment we rescued him in May. Over the last 5 months, we (including all of you) have learned so much from Rooster. We simply gave him love, and a warm place to rest his head, and in turn he showed us the true meaning of Fido: faith, loyalty, and trust. Up until the last beat of his heart, he was grateful and loving.

From the moment we rescued Rooster, we knew that we had been chosen to learn a lesson from him and to serve a higher purpose. We have created a non-profit organization with the goal of educating the public about heartworm disease, the ease of preventative care, and helping to reduce the number of animals in shelters who have this disease to further support the no-kill movement. Fear not furry friends, it's Rooster to the Rescue.

We are in the process of designing a logo, website, facebook page, and mission & values statement. Your continued support will serve to honor and celebrate Rooster's life.

The picture included here (not pictured here) was taken only moments before Rooster crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. He wanted all of you to know just how truly happy and blessed he was.
