So sorry, huckster, to hear that about Kara. 
She was loved to her last, and that will give so many good memories, forever. 
We too had Siberians, Keemo, and a blue-eyed Tanya. Beautiful dogs, family members. Know well Kara is there by the bridge with others.......

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

You have my deepest sympathy. Our older golden, Abbie, is now 12 and showing real signs of slowing down, has arthritis in her hips and back legs, sleeps constantly, seems hard of hearing, very thin, will only drink water if she is coaxed. She lives with my ex and our 20yo daughter. Our boys visit Abbie several times a week, and they and our daughter seem to think she isn't uncomfortable enough to put down, still likes to play, and doesn't seem to be suffering. I dread the day though, as I know the kids are really going to lose it. She's been around since they were 8/12/13 and they're now 20/24/26. Fortunately we have another golden, Winnie, who is 5 and still going strong. She lives with my DH and I. Hopefully she'll be able to give some comfort when Abbie's time comes. Hugs to you.
