On November 18th, 2009 Specialty High In Trial Winner Rainbow’s Vodka With a Twist CD, RN, CGC “Doogie” crossed over the Rainbow Bridge at 10.5 yrs of age. Doogie is survived by his two litter brothers Multiple Best of Breed Winner CH Rainbow’s Vodka On Ice RN CGC “Rocky” and Specialty High In Trial Winner Rainbow’s Vodka Witha Splash CD RA CGC “Calvin” and all of our other Rainbow gang dogs.
Doogies hip gave out on him on the 16th and we choose not to let him endure any furthur complications or pain. He spent is last morning outside enjoying a beautiful day with his kennel mate “Rocky”.
Doogie and his brothers were my first and only litter of Siberian Huskies. Calvin immediately took to my mom Kathy and Doogie to me. Rocky was the only show boy in the litter and so it just ended up with us keeping all 3 boys. Doogie excelled in obedience and the only reason he didn’t get further titles is that I his handler didn’t excel in obedience. He and his brother Rocky formed a deep bond and thus, they were always together.
The loss of Doogie has been harder than I would have hoped on Rocky. Rocky is at least eating, but he is not happy unless he is in the house in his crate. Anytime he goes outside, he immediately wants back in. If left outside we get to listen to his cries of sadness. Fortunately our neighbors are understanding as we are all enduring Rocky’s time of grief.
Our canine companions are only with us for a brief time and Doogie definitely will be remember for his sweet personality. He will be missed by all.
