Thank you :)

I thought I'd share a similar song with you about Laika.
It makes me cry.

"Will they hear my bark from here..."

so freaking sad dude

Poor Laika.

The cage is very small
A tiny silver ball
That makes you a hero
The moment you step inside
The world is watching you
What you're about to do
Will live on forever
Even though you'll be dead
And gone
Buckle up
We're about to turn the engines on.

Hello from Sputnik 2
I am receiving you
Thanks for the dog food
I'm somewhere above you now
Guess what Malashenkov?
I took the collar off
I'm holding my own leash
And walking myself outside
This door
I don't think
I want to be a good dog anymore.

Now I'm floating free
And the moon’s with me
And it's bright enough
To light the dark

And it's so high up here
And the stars so clear
Are they close enough?
Will they hear me bark from here?

Moscow to Sputnik 2
I think we're losing you
Your life signs are fading
We can't really say that we're
Surprised
It's a shame
There is always something that gets compromised

Now I'm floating free
And the moon's with me
And it's bright enough
To light the dark

And it's so high up here
And the stars so clear
Are they close enough?
Will they hear me bark from here?

Wow, the lyrics to that song is deep.

Moscow to Sputnik 2
I think we're losing you
Your life signs are fading
We can't really say that we're
Surprised
It's a shame
There is always something that gets compromised

And how many folks do you think even know who Laika was?

A very few, I think. I only heard about her bc my friend showed me the KH song and the memorial page. Almost cried my eyes out.

Wow this is really deep

Ouch..whats these songs about..might I ask..

And Now I understand WHY THIS IS EXTREMLY DEPRESSING....

lol x)

Laika, come home.

Whenever I think about this story my heart falls out of my chest.

*hugs* Me too. I have pictures of her all over my house and all of the stamps she has been on over the years. She is a true hero and everyone should know about her and her story. What happened to her is very very sad. Everyone should know about her and what happened. Oleg Gazenko's quote in your picture is very true and a touching addition.

When I read about Laika or look at pictures of her all I can think is 'What have we done?'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laika_%28comics%29 <- you should try to get hold of a copy of this f you don't have it already. It is a beautifully illustrated account of Laika from birth to death. It is all told from her point of view and very powerful, so much so I had to stop reading it because it was too emotionally powerful for me.

I am glad you appreciate Laika as much as I do. Each evening of Nov 3, I put a candle in my window for her . Perhaps you will do the same? I'll be doing a journal about it and getting others to join in on this when the time comes. *hugs*

Ooo I would like to get a copy of that! And that is a great idea, we should try to get the furry community to do it, and other people outside of it of course. I know a few friends who would totally partake in it!

*waggwagg*

Ooooo they are affordable :D I am defiantly going to purchase one!!!

*hugs* You'll love it!

*cries a bit* This is a beautiful tribute for him. I wonder was he really a Laika as he looked more like a Fox Terrier to me.

Her, but agreed.
I wrote my own, but couldn't figure out what breed to name.

glory tho Laika , huraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!

I Laika this.

oleg gazenkos quote on liaka will always sting for me there's nothing that can really soften that blow to me
