As told in a former entry on this blog, we lost our dear friend and play mate Cember in January
I got this poem which brought tears into my eyes.
There’s not much to say except:
Dear B.
I hope you’ll one day consider getting a new wolfdog. Not as a replacement for Cember but as an heir to your love.
I my opinion (and here I might offend some, sorry), but there are very few capable Wolfdog owners out there, but you’re one of them, and there are a lot of wolfdog puppies who need a good human.
My best and kindest regards,
Kim
Cember †

“My dearly beloved Cember”Before I am able really to let you go,
there are a few things, I need you to know,
you taught me so much, now I can see,
I hope it will still grow deep inside of me.
You taught me a special kind of love,
the one, that is known in heaven above,
you showed me trust, joy and play,
everything you did was in your own way.I will never forget the look in your eye,
when I left that day without a goodbye,
I´m deeply sorry, I hurt you, I wish I never did,
I hope you forgave me – maybe just a little bit.
I wonder, if you understood from the tone of my voice,
when later I told you, leaving was not my choice,
and I prayed, that the sound would reach your ear,
all the times at night, I whispered: “Baby, I´m right here!”.However, I was grateful more than ever felt before,
for our last time together, and I loved you even more,
a welcome as yours will be nowhere else to find,
I even loved the blue marks your happiness left behind.
I enjoyed every minute, every step and every mile,
I was proud and save around you – you gave me reason to laugh and smile,
I remember your sound, your fur, smell and your touch
when you lay your head towards me – I will miss it all so much.The lost of you only time can heal,
but life must go on – it´s a damn spinning wheel,
so, now you rule in the sky, sure as happy as can be,
“the king of doggy-heaven” – baby, run wild and free.
I am so blessed to have known you – and now I let you go,
but when my time comes, I will stop by you to say “hello”.
Forever you are printed in my heart, soul and mind,
my dearly beloved Cember – you were really one of a kind!Thank you so much for this great homepage, written with humour, honesty and humility, but most of all love.
That beautiful Pandora, she is obviously a lucky girl!
