But it's not good news. He was hit by a car. The worst has happened but at least now I know...
Sitting here through uncontrollable tears, the last memory I have of him is the other night with me, Sage and Ivy in the cabin. Just the three of us, hanging out and I was on the floor with them. Sage came over and stuck his face right in mine, like he always did, remaining so still while he soaked in the attention he loved so much. We just had a really sweet moment where it was just the two of us sharing this intense affection. And then in an instant he was gone.
I HATE this feeling of feeling like your heart has been ripped out and knowing that I will never ever get to see him, touch him, hug him, throw the ball for him, run him in the team again, laugh at him as he barks like a maniac and vibrates as I harness him, watch him watch tv... just makes me so.... unbelievably sad.
This is the day I picked them up in Fairbanks. They were the happiest dogs and these two were totally attached to each other.
This is their first run with me. Ivy was figuring things out as she stands on Sage, but he was ok with that. He let her get away with a lot.
She's gonna be as bummed as me without her playmate around. Loki loved Sage too. In an instant the whole yard has changed. I'm so bummed I can't even explain it.
RIP Sage my sweet boy.

I am so sorry Stacie. I guess there isn't anything else to say.
I'm so very sorry Stacie. I'll be thinking of you.
Our condolences.

Oh, Stacie, I'm so sorry to hear about your sweet Sage. It's so hard to lose a good friend. I've never known anything but time to make it a little easier.
Take care.

I'm deeply sorry, Stacie. Poor Sage :(
I am so sorry for your loss. I will miss pictures of Sage watching TV and the dog-mind-reading-commentary you always supplied for us ;-)
Sending love to you and your team of pupps.

I'm so sorry Stacie. I'll miss your Sage stories...he was quite a character. I hope that wonderful last memory of him will bring you comfort in the days ahead.
We're so sorry to hear about your Sage. We lost our boy one year ago (under different circumstances) and had a very hard time dealing with the tremendous void he left. Our hearts and thoughts are with you.
sorry to hear what happened. will always think of those tv watching pics. ken
Our thoughts are with you Stacie. I hope that you and the bunch in the yard recover quickly and run fast in his memory.
Sorry for your loss. Our four legged family members truly are special.
So sorry for you.
Small comfort in that you at least know what happened to him, but a loved TV-watchng buddy is hard to replace.
Oh, no!!! I'm so sorry, Stacie. That's just awful.
:-(
I'm so sorry for your loss Stacie. Hugs.
Oh, Stacie. I am so sorry to hear this. Lots of hugs to you and rest of your "pack".
Stacie, I'm so sorry to hear this. I remember when Sage and Ivy were young pups at the Fairbanks shelter. It was great that you took both of them together. You truly gave them the best home. Sage was a cool guy and we'll all miss him.

Sorry for you, you're right, your heart has been ripped out, been there, understand, keep enjoying the others.
:( Hope you're all doing OK.
So very sorry to hear about Sage. I have been checking your site hoping to read happy news. It is small comfort to know what happened but that does not fill the emptiness you are feeling right now. My thoughts and prayers to you and all your critters. Love, Gramma Mohrbutter
I'm sorry to hear. You had some awesome stories about him!
I'm so very sorry.

"If tears could build a stairway
and memories a lane,
I would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again."
Oh, Stacie, my heart goes out to you. What a deep deep loss. It's so big I it's impossible to fathom the depth of your pain and the sorrow. I recall that big rip and gaping hole in the heart sensation when I lost my beloved Gracie. It just sucked the breath right out of me and I howled with grief, just sobbed till I was exhausted and in a puddle. And somehow I'd make if from one sobbing episode to the next, sometimes dragging myself around like a zombie. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and hope your sadness eases with time and that you can find comfort in the fur and cold noses of your amazing pups.
Sincerely,
Kathleen
My condolences. As much as you love your dogs this has got to hurt. Great big cyber hugs from us.
OMG Stacie I'm so very, very sorry.
And sorry this comment is so late. I suddenly remembered your FB post and realized, What happened to Sage??
We will all miss watching Sage watch TV.
I'm sorry for your loss, and for all the dogs' losses, too, especially Ivy.
Oh no no no no no...Stacie, I am so sorry...I don't even know where to begin-the thought of little Ivy without her Sage...of you without your boy...I am so sorry and so sad :(
Sending you a monster hug and hoping that your crew is doing their best to love you and comfort you.
Crying along with you...I wish so much there was something I could say to make it better.
Much love and sadness,
Sue and the Pack
