Inspiring Dog Video - Tribute to Lisa & Diva

In memory of Lis' Kristof
For those who have asked about charitable donations in her memory, Lis' was very concerned with canine health and believed in the AKC Canine Health Foundation, http://www.akcchf.org/
She was also a supporter of and recipient from Take the Lead, http://www.takethelead.org/ Take the Lead provides direct services, support and care for people in the sport of purebred dogs who suffer the devastation of life-threatening and terminal illnesses.


On the evening of May 6,2008, Lis' Kristof left this "wonderful earth". Surrounded by her mother, dearest friends, and beloved chinese cresteds; she departed in peace. Thank you to everyone who has commented on this video. She was uplifted by your positive comments and it continues to give solace to those of us who will miss her dearly.

Update: May 6, 2008
Lis' is having more bad days than good now & grows weaker every day, but everything is being done to make her as comfortable as possible. She's home & her 2 Chinese Cresteds are keeping vigil by her side. Diva, especially, is very protective of her & only leaves her for potty breaks & meals. Lis's mom, dogs & friends are all caring for her.

Lis' is at peace and is ready to be done with this part of her journey. Please pray for a quick & peaceful release.
Thank you!
Sherree

With the help of a friend, Lis' was able to make it out to watch a USDAA trial from the car. She continues to live life to the fullest possible, each day, one at a time. Congratulations, to Terry & Wicket (Lis' rescue border collie) for getting their ADCH-Bronze and Lifetime Achievement Award - Bronze this weekend.

Update: April 21, 2008
Lis' mum arrived safely from New Zealand over the weekend. We are cherishing one day at a time. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. From Lis', her friends and family.

Lis' & Diva's ADCH Run.

It is with great emotion that I made this video to celebrate a great team and an outstanding competitor. It is for Lis' friends, who I know are going to deseperately miss seeing this team out on the agility field together. I have trained with; traveled with; argued with; cried with; laughed with; and learned from Lis' since the day I started in agility. Now I will go on to begin again with a new pup and hopefully I will take with me all the life lessons I've learned from her.

Lis', God Bless you and your naked kids.

you can count on it!

What an absolutely breathtaking tribute to The Bond! Lisa and Little Diva, you are my heroes.

[ylwlab047]

Thank you. It is hard to believe it was a year ago yesterday, that Lis' & Diva had that very special Snookers run together.

It was absolutely a gift from God. Lis' only lived a few more weeks, but I think she made the most of that time.

Diva continues to do agility and her little sister Kissy is a speed demon. I'm sure Lis' is giving a running commentary from her prime seat in the 'stands' of heaven.

Miss ya, Lis'.

Oops that was "company" not "coming"

[agilityobsessed99]

She looks healthy to me!

[ylwlab047]

She did indeed look healthy that day. It was truly a miracle. Lis' by her own admission hadn't run like that in over a year. Hard to believe she left this earth only a few weeks later.

Sometimes life is in slow-motion. I am sure Lis' really wanted her life in ultra-slow motion at the end to be here longer with her precious dogs. Slow motion gives me more time to enjoy her happiness.

Sincere condolences to the family and friends of Lis Kristof, and a thank you for this video. Is there a special charity or rescue group where donations could be made in the memory of this special lady? It would be a fitting tribute.

[HEROESfan1001]

What a beautiful tribute to a great team!! So sorry to hear of this tragic loss. BUT I'm sure she had the time of her life!! May she rest in peace forever and always!!

Can't find God in the usual places:

Churches, books or preachers' faces?

Keep on looking and don't give up,

You may just find him in the eyes of a pup.

- And in the last video of Lisa and Diva.
