Gwiazda (G-veeazda) is littermate to Earendel. Her name means "Star" in Polish. Originally she came along as a playmate for Earendel while he grew out but I fell in love with her sweet personality and she became my constant companion. She went everywhere with me from 13 weeks on...
I made the decision to peacefully help Givi cross the bridge on 01-09-2012 after being shot the morning before by a man about a half mile down the road. We were lucky to have found her laying at the back of his property about an hour after I had heard the gun shots. Ameera actually found her...that was after I had gone up to the house looking. She saw the guy outside and he said that he didn't see the dog. That's when Ameera happened to look over and see her lying there. The doctors told me to give her 24 hours to see if she would regain pain sensation in her hind legs. I spent hours with her at the hospital, then that night praying for a miracle. In the morning I got the call that their recommendation was euthanasia. The drugs have had enough time to work into her system and if she was going to regain pain sensation she would have at this point. The xrays showed the bullet sitting in the opposite shoulder, which they believe grazed her spinal cord. I'll never forget her trying to get up when they opened the door to her pen for the last time. I'm sure if she could have wagged her tail she would have...It broke my heart to see her in such pain and I couldn't let her endure it anymore. I loved her too much to let her suffer. I was by her side during her last breath and she will be with me forever, my little star. She was my little grinning girl...sweeter than any borzoi I've ever known. I will miss her sleeping next to me every night. She'd roll over when the alarm went off and we'd cover each other with kisses and cuddles. There was no other way I'd want to start my day, what I would give to have that again but she was needed somewhere else. I'll miss the way she would lay on the couch with me and would pivot on her butt and end up in my lap. The pictures here are just some of my favorites, that show how amazing she was and how much she will be missed.

She was so amazing with the "Lightning Litter". She would have been a wonderful mother. She would lay of the floor an play with them and get them to chase her around the yard. Those puppies adored her, she would just go lay in there and cuddle with them and clean them. One of my fondest memories of her. The pups were 2 months old the day she left. I believe her spirit lives on in Lightning. She has so many of the same personality traits that I adored in Givi. It's almost as if she knew how much I would miss her and Lightning was sent to take her place.
She was and still is poetry in motion. It was amazing to watch her run, so fast and agile. She was faster than Bartleby but she would rarely pass him. I think it was because she would follow him anywhere. She loved him so much and I know he still misses her. He's never really been quite the same.
Run free my baby girl. I'll miss you forever but the amazing memories and pictures I have of you will always keep me smiling through the tears...

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
... I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said " it's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
