Dayca

Dear Dayca

As if she knew …
my dearest Dayca … my girlfriend … she climbed on my lap and crawled stiffly against me. She pressed her head very hard against my chest and it seemed to me that she wanted to embrace me with her leg…. just like a human being she sighed very deeply…
We took a picture of this moment because we thought it was so sweet. A few days after this event we were told that she has got an incurable, not operable, tumour in her liver.
My dear dear Dayca … I will soon have to say goodbye to you. My heart cries out …. I want to thank you for this incredibly fine dog I got from you. Intense love … and it looks to me she feels the same…… .. such a precious beautiful moment … captured on film … life lasting…

…… grief is something that only can be solved by yourself. What you can’t do, but you already have done, and that is not to take my sadness for granted. A lot of people don’t do that … “it’s just a dog” or… “when you will take a new one” is often the thought. The fact that you “delivered” such an incredible sweet Dayca … That´s where you should find your pride in. My God, the tons of Love and pleasure I found in her….
My proud, tough, never receding, beautiful, sweet, strong, funny, affectionate, ‘silent waters run deep ‘, her entire life lying on my lap, sun worshiping, in front of the fireplace lying, child loving, strange dog hating, beautiful eyes, soft furred, playful, watchful, comfort-giving Dayca …
she is part of the inheritance of your father and of course your mother.
What a great bloodline you have … what a great ambassadors for the Am Staff breed are your dogs.
We are blessed with Dayca … And that is what YOU have done … how great can that be, as a breeder of a specific breed…
