KIWI CAME INTO OUR LIFES WITH GREAT JOY AND ENTHUSIASM...

SHE SHOWED US HOW FUN IT IS TO LIVE WITH AN AFGHAN!

AND SHE SHOWED US HER HEART AND WONDERFULL PERSONALITY.

- WE LOVED HER SO MUCH!

THE LAST DAY WE HAD WITH HER WAS A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY WINTERDAY IN MARCH 2009,

ALL OF THE FAMILY WERE OUTSIDE AND JUST ENJOYED EACH OTHER'S COMPANY.

KIWI PLAYED WITH OUR KIDS AND STOLE SOME OF MATILDE'S TEDDYBEARS.. :)

LIFE WAS GOOD!

BUT SUDDENLY THE LIFE OF OUR SPARKLING AFGHAN WAS OVER....

IN A MYSTERIOUS 'AFGHAN-WAY' SHE DISAPPEARED FROM OUR YARD.

THE SNOW HAD MELTED  BY THE GATE AND I THINK THIS CONFUSSED HER A BIT

- AND THEN SHE RAN STRAIGHT INTO THE ROAD...... - SHE DIED IMMEDIATELY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TIME WE HAD TOGETHER, KIWI!

FOR ALL THE GOOD TIME AND BEUTIFUL MEMORIES.

FOR ALL THE FUNNY AND CRAZY THINGS YOU DID.

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME YOUR BRILLIANT MIND WHEN WE TRAINED OBEDIENCE.

AND FOR SHOOWING ME WHAT AN EXPERIENCE IT IS TO SHOW AN AFGHAN IN THE RING!

WE'VE HAD SOM GREAT MOMENT THERE...

YOU WERE MARVELLOUS!

- SO BEAUTIFUL -

IT'S SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE GONE...

- THAT YOU NEVER WILL BE JUMPING INTO MY ARMS AGAIN.

YOU'LL NEVER AGAIN SLEEP IN MY BED WITH A GREAT SMILE.

I'LL NEVER AGAIN FEEL YOUR NOSE IN THE BACK OF MY NECK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

NEVER AGAIN WILL YOU LAY ON THE FLOOR BESIDE THE KIDS WHILE THEY'RE PLAYING

- THEY HAVE LOST AN AMAZING FRIEND -

NEVER AGAIN WILL YOU BE WAITING FOR ME WHEN I COME HOME

- AND NEVER WILL I SEE YOU JUMP FOR JOY WHEN WE'RE COMING HOME TO YOU.

You're sorely missed, my sweet girl.....

We will never forget yoy!

- lots of love -
