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!

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.

Tears are flowing …
Tears are flowing like a river having just watched this very touching story. How very very sorrowful this must have been for her knowing this was her last run with her best friend, her heart must’ve been overflowing with tears.
Equally sad is that her little Diva must be sooooo lost and forlorn without her and wondering where her Mama went….I pray someone is giving Diva all the love she so desperately needs during her time of grief.
Holding Lisa’s memory close to my heart.

Hugs from all of us here on Jollity Farm and thank you for such an amazing tribute to an exceptional young lady ! I have shared this – world wide ! Know that those who are gone from this earth, remain here with us, just in a different way and when the hurt and pain turn ease, and the heart openes again – you will understand that they are never far from us ! 
I am sure Diva isn’t just running for Lis – but continues to run with her

An amazing video …
An amazing video and an amazing person. After seeing this I went looking for more information on Lis…wow, what an inspiration.
She touched a lot of people while she was on this earth. She did so much for educating dog owners, dog rescue, ethical breeding and just plain supporting those around her. I wish I had known her.
Her web site is still up, this video tribute continues to spread around the web and thus she continues her work from the otherside.

God bless Lis and her family. The video brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing this truly remarkable person with us.

Thank you. It is …
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’.

I continue to hope, even believe, that the NEXT STEP is, like so many times when we were alive, BETTER than the last …
Isn’t that the way it works with Positive Things?
Fear .. Overcome … Become Bigger And Better
Do we really think that “death” is going to be different?
One awful ending after all those wonderful ones?
I hope NOT. Pray NOT. Believe NOT

I was thinking the same thing. I was so worried about Diva thinking her Mom wasn’t with her anymore. God be with her and Lisa’s Family!
