Hi All,
Happy to meet everyone, I'm excited to get involved in the forums and contribute as best I can. I'm rather sorry to have to meet under somber circumstances.
We lost our beautiful 8 year old Kady girl on Sunday last week. She passed away suddenly and unexpectedly napping midday, next to me. She went very quickly and painlessly, (presumably from a congenital condition leading to sudden/unpredictable heart failure). She was very happy and healthy up until the very last second, for which I am extremely grateful. She has been my best friend for the last 8 years and we almost never spent a day apart, and she will be missed very much.
We've had dobermans in my family going back before I was born. In the last 10 years we've had 4 active dobies in my immediate family and they were all the best of friends, from a couple generations of the same line. They were all stunning, driven, and active dogs. There was my Kady girl, her brother, her uncle, and her auntie. Only her auntie remains at this point, with the exception of a new pup (7months) who's my uncle's new boy. He's almost done with his ears, and I'm happy he got to meet and play with Kady for a few months before she passed last week.
I happened to get a new camera a couple months ago, so I am really grateful to have had my favorite four-legged model around while I did, so I could get all kinds of great pics even up until (what I never would have guessed would be) our very last day together. She was always so tolerant and patient of my sticking a huge camera in her face 0
One of these days sooner rather than later we will be ready to honor Kady's memory by sharing our love with a new pup. In the meantime, here are some of my favorite pics of the late Arkady Darell:
Here's Kady at around 4 months, getting close to finishing her ears:
Here are a couple from the last few months:
And here's one last photo of the late dynamic trio - Kady, her uncle, and her brother - all 3 passed in the last year or so, but theyr're never forgotten and always loved:
Ok ok last one I promise - this is the first photo of mine I've ever tried to have printed. It'll arrive on Monday morning and I'm hoping it turns out great:
