My Friend

Saturday evening September 19, 2009 we had to help Frankie (Am. Can. CH. Marionhill Chairman Of the Bd UD RAE MX MXJ MXP MJP2 NF NFP CGC TDI Can. CD) cross over to the Rainbow Bridge.  Suddenly he wasn’t acting like himself and I took him to the vet today.  They took x-rays which showed that he had developed a hemangiosarcoma in his spleen that had metastasized to his heart and was bleeding out internally.  He was in no pain but was suddenly very weak and there was nothing that could be done to help him. 

He was my best friend.

What were his accomplishments? He was the most AKC titled Siberian Husky ever.  Among his accomplishments were numerous national rankings in conformation, obedience and agility, including more than a dozen times as #1 Siberian Husky, Award of Merit at the 2001 SHCA National Specialty and Best of Opposite Sex at the 2008 SHCA National Specialty, an invitation (one of only four Siberians) to the 2009 National Obedience Invitational competition, he was featured in 15-20 commercial print ads and breed calendars, and he and son Travis will represent the Siberian Husky in the Animal Planet Dogs 101 series. 

I want to thank all of his friends who wished him well and cheered for him through the years.  From his accomplishments Frankie showed he was a versatile Siberian Husky and one who was a terrific ambassador for his breed.  Though I didn’t know it when I named him, this was one Siberian who would live up to his AKC name – he truly was the Chairman of the Board.  He had the most wonderful personality.  From his stubbornness and independence to the way he talked to me in the ring to let me know he was having fun; from the way he ruled his pack to the way he let me know it was biscuit time.  Wonderful memories!! 

I love this gentle dog for all he did for me, for his spirit and for his honesty.  Mostly, I love him for being my good buddy and companion who shared a sofa with me. 

I have to thank Mike and Maggie Marion for giving me Frankie to enjoy for these 11+ years – April 25, 1998 – September 19, 2009. 

As you wait at the Bridge for me, play with the other Siberlink kids who went before you – Kodi, Spunky, Jasper, Nikki and little Pepper

Wear your Silver Harness with pride.  God speed Frankie.  I will always miss you.
