My companion and best friend, my dog Lola, was out with Wes, Pete, and I on a early morning trip into the great wide open when tragedy struck. Rattlesnake. <br /> We did everything possible, rushed back to town, the ever able Wes pushing my 1986 4 runner to it's mechanical extreme- made it to the vet in just over an hour. Lola was administered anti-venom, a plasma transfusion, many red blood cell packets, along with many many other things. By 10 pm she was stable, sleeping, and doing well fighting. Then, at 6:45 am on Sunday I get the dreaded call and life goes into a terrible spiral. Grief is a difficult emotion that I have very little experience with. <br /> <br /> That afternoon we were sitting in the front yard, crying and talking about how great of a dog she was when I looked up thru my pine tree and saw an indescribable site. A mysterious rainbow that had no &quot;bow&quot; sitting in the sky, peering down on us. It was unreal. I thought for sure I was the only person seeing it but sure enough, it was real. After much research I believe that what we saw that afternoon was the very elusive Fire Rainbow, or a Circumhorizontal arc- one of nature's most rare phenomena. Here's the wiki link if you want to read more...<br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumhorizon_arc">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumhorizon_arc</a><br /> <br /> <br /> I was really feeling like ol Mother Nature had let me down, taking Lola with one of her harshest tools, but then this apology released all of those sentiments. I know that Lola's spirit will live on in me forever, and I will move on with life.<br /> <br /> Thank you Lola, Lindsay and I love you and miss you terribly!<br /> No Licks!</p> Tue, 17 Jun 2008 08:12:33 -0700 2008-06-15T13:41:39-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (popinac) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/2587583902 lola's fire rainbow 1 <p>This past weekend was one of the hardest of my life.
