Rest In Peace Ashke

[laneka]

Goodbye my beloved friend . You are now pain free and can run and strut your stuff at the bridge. Thank you so much for nearly 11 years of your devoted love, your wonderful humour and for being the best friend anyone could have.

I am going to miss your stares, your demands and the fun we have always had together.

Rest In Peace Australian Grand Champion Blickscharf Ashke C.D. E.T. alias Ashy Smashy Pumpkinhead

Our deepest condolences at the loss of a dog who was incredible on so very many levels.

Run free, beautiful boy.

Damnit, what a dreadful day it's been. Our thoughts are with you.

I opened my emails to find your post on RottsANZ, and I gasped with shock. It feels like the end of an era.

For as long as I can remember, Ash has been what we all strive for, not only in his conformation, and his ring presence. The relationship that you had with him, his personality, and his will to work was something to behold.

Ash's achievements may never be surpassed, and I know that his loss will be felt by you forever.

Thinking of you at this time.

RIP Ash, your memory will live on in the hearts of many.

Ash was not only a champion, but a Legend of our breed and I truly believe that I will never see another dog like him in my lifetime. I always got all my friends to come down to the specialties to see him. I would never tell them who he was, rather I would just tell them that they would just know. Every time, their jaws would drop and there would be noises like 'Wow', 'Whoa' and 'Oh my god, look at that dog', such is the effect that he had on people. Those piddly little AB rings never did him justice, he was in his full glory flying around a large specialty ring.

He gives us all something to aspire to, for his conformation, his temperament and his character. His bond with you Laneka & Mr Laneka is also something to aspire to, I have been priveleged to see this up close and it gave me a new appreciation of how we can interact with our special ones.

When my daughter is a bit older, I will be so proud to be able to tell her that back in the day, Mummy handled The King of The Ring, THE Rottweiler. Thank you for the honour of being in the ring with him, it was always very emotional for me, such is the esteem that I hold him in. I loved being told off by him for interfering in HIS running and I loved being the one along for the ride in my own tiny little way.

RIP King of the Ring, you will be missed here but truly remembered as the legend that you are. Have fun chasing the girls around at The Bridge darling Smashy.

Much love to Laneka and Mr Laneka xxxxx

You have a special place Dear Lord

that I know you'll always keep

A special place reserved for dogs

when they quietly fall asleep

With large and airy kennels

and a yard for hiding bones

With maybe a little babbling creek

that chatters over stones.

With wide green fields and flowers

for those who never knew

about running freely under

Your sky of perfect blue.

Lord, I know You keep this Special Place

And so to You I pray,

For one Special Rottweiler

Who quietly passed away today

He was full of strength and love

and so very, very wise..

The puppy look he once had

Had long since left his eyes.

He is dearly missed my Lord

By a very good friend of mine.

He went to join his ancestors

To Your land that is Divine

So, speak to Ashke softly please

And give him a warm hello.

He is a Special gift to You Dear Lord

From Sue and Stan , who loved him so.

[mona]

Rip Ashke.. Run free at the bridge

[laneka]

Thank you for all your kind words. He was a very special boy, in the ring and particularly out of the ring. For those who do not know him, here is a photo of him in the ring.

[Bilbo Baggins]

:rofl: :rofl: :cry: I only heard a few weeks ago that he was ill.

Run free Ashke

to Sue and Stan. and all the rotties.
