Christopher Robin

We start the day with sad news. On August 3rd, one of our oldest alumni, Christopher Robin, passed away. Krista and Charlie fostered him and became his forever family.  His story is told beautifully by Charlie…

“It is with a heavy but also relieved heart that I wanted to let the group know about SEGSP All-Star Christopher Robin’s passing today. He went by several names; Robin, C. Robin, Robby, Bob.. the list goes on just as his memory will.  Robin entered SEGSP care on Oct 7, 2010 when my wife Krista went to pick him up down in Warner Robins after the group was alerted of his presence in animal control.  We used to try and incorporate where they came from in their name, he was such a sweet boy it just fit.  The intent was to get him into the “system” and adopted out because he was such an ideal example of what we do and hope to keep doing - finding these special beings and match them with their forever home.  We had 3 already and were not looking for another one.  But we failed, again.  Almost 14 years later, he let us know he was finished in this version of his self.  It was a peaceful trip across the bridge, he even yawned just as the last injection was given letting us know he was at peace.
He was super special, and I'll be looking for him to show back up in a way only these guys can.    The picture of the Rainbow was from the evening of the day we said goodbye...that was his favorite perch, standing vigil over the barn and keeping a weather eye on Krista.  I'm pretty sure we all believe in signs - otherwise we'd be cat people!!  We chose to believe this was from him telling us he's ok, and not to feel the pain we were.  That's the kind of selfless, "benevolent Alpha" he was.” Charlie and Krista
