Kenji Has Passed Away

At 67 years-old, I've NEVER been without a dog. At 67, I've NEVER found it easy to let them go, NEVER not cried at their passing, and NEVER have I not mourned. At 67, I can only be sure of 2 things: 1. ALL dogs go to heaven. 2. All of our pets will be waiting to meet us on the other side when we make our transition. Asking grace to envelope you with all of the love and good memories that is KENJI.

Kenji wasn't just a dog, he was a member of your family! My heartfelt prayers go out to you all!

When we had to put down our dog about 4yrs ago, I told my wife no more dogs. After 7 or 8 months had passed, I realized I wasn't missing not having a dog around but the spirit of not having one around. We found an abandoned pup that looked like a border collie with heeler markings on his legs. His name became Spirit. And the hole I had in me began to close up shortly there after. That was 4yrs ago and he has turned out to be a great help to me and my farm. What I'm saying is, in time without looking for another one, one will find you and the healing will begin. Keep the faith!

I'm in tears. It's so hard to lose our fur babies. I lost my Issy at 16 yrs and decided I wasn't going to get anymore as I have had many in my life. About 3 months later Issy sent Dallas to me. She had been dumped, and the rescues have no room here in WA. It will be a year in 11 days. I have met many people that I prefer not to be around but I have met very few dogs that I don't love!

Kenji lived long enough to launch you and your children into their new lives. He supervised every aspect of your building a new life on the land. He stayed on extra long to see it through. Loyal beyond words. Well done good and faithful friend.

I found myself crying with you. He has been there since I started watching you. What a wonderful dog. Love and prayers to your family

I lost my 14 YO cat in October 2022. He was the coolest cat. I still miss him so much. I’m so sorry for your loss. He was a well-loved and blessed pup to have y’all as his family. May God ease your pain and comfort you.

If love could have kept him alive on this earth he would have lived forever! What a beautiful life he had. May the beautiful memories bring you peace and comfort. He was loved beyond measure!

sending you all love, he left his Paw prints on many hearts before he crossed the Rainbow bridge 😢🌈🐾

I am 72 years old and as I watch the two of you, I can't stop crying. Just ten days ago I had to put down my little 6 pound Yorkie who was 12 year old. The devastating emotions that pet owners feel when they lose their faithful friends are so raw and gut wrenching. May God flood our memories with all the good times we shared with our little four legged buddies, and that one day, our joy in remembering them will surpass the pain of their loss.

What miraculous gifts dogs are! Such a heartfelt tribute for Kenji!

I can feel the ache in your hearts, the tightness in your throats, and the river of tears you will cry. Four years ago tomorrow I lost my heart dog and I still feel the pain as if it were yesterday. May Gods words in Isaiah that ALL flesh will know He is Lord. Your precious Kenji is in his arms and will be waiting for you . God bless you all.

We put our old cow dog of 16 years down on the 9th. He gave me the sign he was done on that Sunday before. He is buried next to my old dog where they can bark at each other into eternity. He worked cows, went to college, worked at a feedlot, babysat kids and was spoiled at all the coffee shops. A hell of a life. Long live dogs.

You gave Kenji the best life. You gave him a family to love and protect. You gave him a place to belong that was full of love returned. You gave him your hearts. No dog could have wanted more. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Prayers are up for Kenji and for the family.🙏🙏 He'll always be in our hearts as well.❤️

I'm so sorry for your loss....losing a dog is absolutely heartbreaking. Sending peace and love....❤

Kenji was your Ohana... "Ohana means family, and family means nobody is left behind or forgotten."

Kenji wasn't just a dog, he was a member of your family! My heartfelt prayers go out to you all! You gave Kenji the best life. Thank you for sharing him with us.

I am so sorry for your loss. Loss of a loved one is never easy. I’ve watched as you’ve honored him in life as well as in his passing. Keeping his memory alive on how much he was more than just a pet. But also a true member of the family. My heart goes out to your entire family through this difficult time. Prayers to you all.

I'm so sorry about your handsome boy Kenji. He has crossed the rainbow bridge. He is at peace now. Kenji is playing with all the other beautiful dogs that have crossed over. It's so hard because one minute they are there and the next they are gone. You guys have made a beautiful resting place for him . Kenji knew how much you loved him. ❤.
