Rita
was my first malamute at all. That was Rita for whom I went like a young
girl mad on malamutes. We brought home 4 month old curious malamute
teenager. I spent lot of time with Rita and horses. I was riding long
hours in nature while she run around us and enjoyed the movement. She
loved horses, as well as me. Even in old age, when she saw horses she was
totally excited. She always dug them gently in their belly and our horses
already knew her and let her to make it. It was her way how to say them
“hello”. She was a typical malamute, friendly towards people
and hunter from the nature. I wouldn´t count all hens that she went
secretly steal to the neighbors. Although our hens were o.k. for her, she
didn´t kill them! She never became a champion but today I appreciate her
nice dark pigment, full teeth, scissor bite and really very nice movement.
Unfortunately, she never had puppies. We tried to breed her, but she
suffered from pyometra, and so I have decided to castrate her in her 5
years. Probably, due to this all she remained as nice in body building
like in her young years. Even though, it is said the malamutes are not dogs
of one guy and changes are no problem for them, so it was not true about
her. I got married and we moved on 2 km away. Every day, she escaped
returned back to our home. Later also started hard fights between Rita and
younger Annie, so I decided to leave her at my mom place - where she was
used to live from her youth, where she knew all, where she escaped back
and where she had a large garden. She lived there last four years and I
don´t know if my mom more loved Rita or Rita more loved my mom. Lifetime
got to Rita nearly 14 wonderful years. Anyway, her exit was really very
hard for us. Big thanks to my mom who took great care about her in her
last days. Rita fought almost 14 days with the apoplexy. She was very
brave and smart, when her illness went to be worse and worse, I decided
for euthanasia. Believe that it is really very hard decision, even if your
dog is very old and sick. I remembered words of dog´s prayer, "When
my time is filled, don´t keep me in throes. If it is necessary, finish
time of my affliction. Just please, stay in this moment with me.."
Rita died at home in my arms and she sleeps on her garden under the tree,
where she loved to lie. I will never forget you…. |

I'd like to give this memory a beautiful
malamute baby, whom unfortunately was not given to grow up in large robust
dog. He was with me exactly one month, but I never forget him. He was a
beautiful, playful, very attentive and sweet, probably like all puppies in
his age. He died on the day on which he has been three months ... Many
people are still asking me, why then he died. Cherry, I chose him from long-awaited
litter Mr.and Mrs. Seidl from the kennel Shamanrock. He was the son
borrowed and very successful show dog Ch.Moon Song's Captain Moon Ray as
well as a successful mother MultiCh. Blessed Love of Montego. During the
moments he became big friend of our malamute lady Rita and we planed lot
of shows, walks, sports, and really everything that one wants when he
brings at home malamute baby. Unfortunately, he got hepatitis, even though he
was regularly vaccinated. Four days and four nights, we have fought for
his life. The days we spent on vet centre and during the night I held him
in my arms in my house. It was Thursday, when breathed one´s last in my
arms. For me it is very painful memories of the little malamute life,
which left earlier than any of us expected. However, I still grateful
family Seidl how to set the whole situation and despite the fact that it
was not their fault and could suspect me of bad care for a puppy, which
was assigned to me, so I never heard from them a single bad words. On the
contrary, they helped me to accept the situation and assigned me another
boy from another litter - now almost old boy - our Jessie - Ich.Just Fur
Fun Shamanrock. I want to say them "thank you" by this way,
because now as a breeder I am not sure how I would accepted the situation
in a position like a breeder. It was cruel, but very instructive "refers
to man and nature changes". Unfortunately, sometimes it is the fate
of our best friends as conclusive as the fate of people .. |
