PostSubject: Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!!   Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! EmptyFri Jul 22, 2016 9:07 pm

Almost a month ago, I had to take my little Futte-dog the horrible last trip to the vet.
We had been together almost all all awake time for almost exactly 10 years.

Even now, the pain is still so raw, that I hope you understand that I can't write more ...

Well, but Kosta heard it, and he worked many, many hours to make me a model of my little friend, - carefully painting every little spot, and shade !
When I took the model out of the box, I was flooded whith feelings, so I had to pack it back again and go make some coffeee before I could look at it again.

But....now I will show some pictures I have taken. They don't do the model justice, but still I hope you can see how absolutely marvellous it is  Very Happy

Kosta does not do things by half, - see the beautyful package :
Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16a_Pakke1

Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16a_Pakke2

Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16a_Pakke3

Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16a_Pakke4

And here she is, - my darlig Futte :
Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16a_Pakke_Dog1

Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16a_Pakke_Dog2

Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16a_Pakke_Dog3

Whippets have no wool in their fur, so you can see the skin , especially on the belly.
In the summer Futte got "suntanned" , so the pink areas were full of black spots.
I don't know how Kosta did it, - but this is exactly how she looked  Shocked
Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16a_Pakke_Dog4

Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16a_Pakke_Dog5

Sometimes she would roll over, and ask me to scratch her little, soft, pink, spotted tummy  Laughing
Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16a_Pakke_Dog6

But seen from a distance she was white-and-orange.
Again, Kosta has made them EXACTLY as they were :
Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16a_Pakke_Dog7

Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16a_Pakke_Dog8

Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16a_Pakke_Dog9

The tail of the model was moulded to the leg, - but this is so much better !
Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16a_Pakke_Dog_Tail1

Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16a_Pakke_Dog_Tail2

Take a look at this face ! Do you understand that I both laughed and cried when I saw it ?
Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16b_Pakke_Face1

Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16b_Pakke_Face2

Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16b_Pakke_Face3

Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16b_Pakke_Face4

Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16b_Pakke_Face5

Thankyou, Kosta !!!!!!!! Kosta_Juli16b_Pakke_Face6

I don't know how to thank you, dear Kosta !
You have made a masterpiece, and it is extremely precious to me sunny flower sunny flower sunny flower

Big hug to you, dear Susanne and a very big hurray for you Kosta.

These gestures, these stories, these acts of kindness from distant friends, these manifestations of love for a pet, these expressions of talent with the motivation of making a friend feeling a little happier, these dots of divine light in our globe, make me feel sure that life is a good thing as long as we meet the right persons and that even the majority of the human race is undesirable, there are some elightened persons that are a proof that humans can also be "docile creatures!. flower
You Susanne and Kosta, are surely two of these persons and it is a big joy to know that, although STS is just a little village, there are more STSers that are extraordinary people.
I know you suffered a lot the loss of your friend Futte and that's a prodigious tribute to that wonderful dog that is also a STS friend as some of your other pets and will remain forever in our memories. Very Happy
There's just a little mistery for me... why is the name Julie in your pictures? Wink

What a fantastic way to memorialize a great friend. Now she will always be with you. Great job lost and what a beautiful tribute to a beautiful lost friend, Susanne.

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear Futte.

Kosta has made a beautiful mini-Futte to comfort you in your sorrow. It is a wonderful gift.
As Karin sais, now your Futte has become a STS dog forever! Very Happy I love you

I have this Papo model and compared it with Kosta's repaint. Mini-Futte is much better than the original. Fantastic work, Kosta!

Thankyou for all the kind words !!!

Some people say : "But you have two more dogs ! " . Yes, but that does not help much.
If you loose an extremely good human friend, they don't say " But you have other friends ! " geek

Seriously, people say that?! affraid Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad confused

Of course your other dogs can help you grieve, but that does not mean you can't grieve because you have two other dogs.

Kosta, those are genial pictures! All bacgrounds serve perfectly that figure once it is superbly painted in a great mould. Very Happy
Also, it makes me think about the several pictures we still can see from Susanne's collection where Futte can be seen at the background. Futte was, is and always will be a STS friend! cheers

Oh my goodness dear Susanne! I do not know how I missed this wonderful topic. I am so sorry for the loss of your dear Futte. Sad *hugs*

On a brighter note, Kosta has once again done a stunning paint job...and down to all the finest details has transformed this model into a wonderfully astounding one. His repaint/remodel is a wonderful tribute to your Futte and also a wonderful gift straight from the heart. Very Happy

Susanne, these are true words! I know about your sadness and how much you are missing Futte now and always. In this context, this is perhaps one of the best topics, that shows the most special spirit of STS.
Kostas Futte shows the friendship of a person, whom you know only from distance, probably never seen in reality, but these gift shows, how big the friendship is from distant. This shows the whole gesture: The wonderful packaging, the model and the
great repaint with so many details. I think there is no better gift, that can express a friendship with empathy and compassion without words. A real masterpiece by Kosta for a great friend.
