Today I said my final farewell to one of the best friends that I have ever been priviledged to know.Muiryett's Power Game (Kai) first entered my life nealy fourteen years ago as a little bouncy bundle of husky fur. I did not choose him, but he chose me. From two litters of puppies all looking for new homes, Kai was the one that followed me every where from the moment that we first met. He waited for me outside the toilet, whilst all the other puppies were scrabbling over the bonio biscuits that they had found. I scooped him into my arms and cuddled him close to me. Our lives from that point forth would be intertwined until one of us had to move onto our next life. He was always there for me, through the good times and the bad. The dancing and smiling when I fell in love and when I succeeded in life's challenges. The sadness when I fell from success or lost the loves of my life. He was my forever in life's rollercoaster. He was a dog, yes, but a very special dog at that. Anyone that met him will agree to this fact. A companion, a father to Kade, a grandfather to Krofti, and great, great, great grandfather to Kez. He was all that plus more......
Now is not the time to share all our life experiences. There were many, a lifetime of memories. For now I am in mourning for a loss that is hard to accept. Yes, I have been preparing for this for a very long time, but that does not make it any easier.
Kai continued his battle for life until he returned to his place of birth. He was born in Lanarkshire and will rest forever in Lanarkshire. This pleases me as it feels very symbolic.
I now wear a charm bracelet upon my wrist, a Christmas present that for now has two significant charms, one of these charms represents my memories of Kai, forever engrained within my mind. I will touch it when I want to remember the good times, and good times there were many!
