Rainbow Bridge

A tribute to our Pharaoh phriends, now waiting for us at the bridge...

"NILE"

CH Shema's Mia Paint the Town Red SC

March 20, 1996 - June 5, 2007

A keen huntress, humble beauty, lovingly able mother, sweet and unassuming pack member, and loyal companion, Nile's life was full and bright. We are eternally grateful to have had the opportunity to have her in our lives. Her legacy lives on both in spirit and in her progeny here at Nefer-Temu. She is sorely missed and will never be forgotten.

Fragile Circle

"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.

Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.

We cherish memory as the only certain immortality,
never fully understanding the necessary plan."

--Irving Townsend

"TIYA"

Dual Ch. Queen Tiya Al-azawah Sunwind
SC, CD, CGC, AX, AXJ, F.Ch, AAD, TDI, OAC, OJC, EGC, VC

October 2, 1994 - September 13, 2006

Her multiple talents and hard-working, honest character will never be forgotten. Any person who achieves half as much in their life as she achieved in hers would be rendered a saint. The manner in which she was lost will haunt my soul forever, for she deserved so much better. Forgive us, sweet Tiya. Forgive us. We miss you. Until we meet again...

Goodbye, My Love, Goodbye (by Demis Roussos)

Hear the wind sing a sad, old song
It knows I'm leaving you today
Please don't cry or my heart will break
When I go on my way

Goodbye, my love, goodbye
Goodbye and au revoir
As long as you remember me
I'll never be too far

Goodbye, my love, goodbye
I always will be true
So hold me in your dreams
Till I come back to you

See the stars in the sky above
They'll shine wherever I may roam
I'll pray every lonely night
That soon they'll guide me home

"NOBLE"

Multi BIF, Multi HIT, Best in Sweeps, AOM, Dual CH.
Qhaveat Noble Nefer-Temu
SC, CD, F.Ch, CGC, TDI, TT, NAC, NJC, NGC, VC

October 14, 1993 - January 23, 2006

I will forever be indebted to Noble. He taught me so much and changed my life forever, as he was the first. His versatility has set the bar high for all that follow him here at Nefer-Temu.

Until we meet again, my sweet prince...

"Song for Noble" composed by Emily Kerridge

I wrote this the day after Noble died. I think the chord progressions (including the occasional dissonance at the bottom of the 7th chords), modulations, ascending and descending triplet motives, and "fun loving," quirky melody line represent Noble's unique personality and perspective on life. He did things his own way, not always by the book, be it in the obedience ring, agility ring, or on the coursing field, but it was always entertaining. He is sorely missed.

Request From Rainbow Bridge

Weep not for me though I am gone
Into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long
Upon my soul's sweet flight.

I am at peace, my soul's at rest
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed
For all those many years.

There is no pain, I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.

Remember not my fight for breath,
Remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.
