Dear Calli,
|
Thank you so very much for wonderful 15 years, 5 months and 8 days which we have shared together. You came into our lives unexpectedly and unplanned but you brought so much happiness and joy we could only dream of. You were the most optimistic creature I have ever known and you had a heart of gold. You loved every living creature and you welcomed everyone with a wagging tail and smiling face. Always so gentle and always happy you radiated the light of happiness everywhere you appeared. You loved all people and were happy to sit on their laps or lick their faces if you were only allowed. |

Living with you was never boring because you had endless energy and because you were always full of very clever ideas. When you were a puppy you were running across our home daily and often you were jumping on and making turns on our kitchen table but you never splashed any plates or spilled any coffee. You were very fast, agile and skillful. You knew plenty of dog tricks and you were a very obedient girl. You had many dog friends everywhere with whom you played for hours if only Nati allowed you since she was very protective over you so no wonder the two of you were inseparable friends. Although you were very obedient girl when alone with not much hunting instincts you gladly joined Nati on her escapes in the forest running after deer, barking on squirrels and finding other interesting things. |

Above all you loved squeezing toys and you were carrying them around in your mouth for most of the walks. You had a lot of fun with burial of squeezing toys in the ground or under leaves on our walks in the forest and with search and excavation of them on the next walk. You were always so happy when you found a hidden and lost toy. You were an excellent all purpose girl very quiet in the house and full of energy outdoors. You loved cuddling, sleeping in bed and sitting with us on the couch. You were also very playful girl and you loved playing until old age. You adored our human kids and were great friends with both of them. |

Your only weakness was your desire for destroying everything made of plastic. Thus you destroyed some plastic toys from our kids among them a special Barbie doll which made our daughter Lana cry inconsolably. You also destroyed some plastic cars from our son Tosja, but he was not greatly affected because he knew he will get some new toys. Also several pens, Labello lip glosses, plastic boxes were the prey of your teeth. In your senior years you have become a sweet tooth. So if you were left alone at home with cookies, chocolates and sweets within your reach you served yourself with them. You became a master in unwrapping of chocolate candies, eating only the chocolate and leaving covers laying all over the living room. |

When your little furry sister Olli arrived you needed some time to become friends with her because Olli is a very determined and confident girl who never accepted you as the leader of the pack. But in time the two of you became great friends and hiking partners and you both enjoyed playing together. When Sončka joined our family you and Sončka became inseparable friends and companions. She could lay on your head if she wanted and you were always very gentle with her licking her all over. When your health deteriorated and signs of dementia started to show Sončka was leading you on walks and you both walked together and if you got lost somewhere along the road she always brought you back. Sončka was keeping you young and playful and we all believe you were fighting till the end also because of Sončka. The friendship between the two of you can not be described with words. In my opinion the two of you were true soulmates. |

Beside hiking trips, swimming and long walks in the forest you loved travelling to new places and you visited many different countries in your life. You were a perfect show dog with over 30 different championship titles won under your name, a great pet therapy dog and a delightful agility dog with one win in A1 category. But the most important role you played in our lives was the role of our treasured companion, furry daughter, grand daughter and sister and a great friend. |

You were my soulmate and we understood each other without words. You always loved sitting on my lap, sleeping in bed with me, playing different games with us and being a treasured companion ready for any kind of activity we imagined. You were very gentle, tender and loving girl who loved all people and animals, therefore you wanted to jump on and kiss every person and dog you met if they only allowed it. You were always very outgoing and extremely friendly to all people and you possessed that something extra which made you loved by everyone. You felt well in all circumstances. You were an excellent travelling companion and you travelled with different means of transport. You were our forest princess and princess of nature since you were the happiest girl when you could run freely over vales and dales. You accompanied us on our outings on hills and mountains and always made many new friends. |

You were our sweet bundle of joy and energy with a heart of gold and we all miss you terribly but we will always be thankful to you for all those wonderful years and many happy moments we shared together. You might be gone from us now but you will live in our hearts forever. You will be with me here in my heart and as long as you are here in my heart no distance can keep us apart. |

Sending you our endless love, hugs and kisses and wishing you a pleasant stay at Rainbow Bridge with Gari, Idjika, Lejka, Nati and other friends we lost along the way until we meet again!

To Where You Are
Who can say for certain
Maybe you’re still here
I feel you all around me
Your memory’s so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You’re still an inspiration
Can it be
That you are my
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are
Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn’t faith believing
All power can’t be seen
As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
‘Cause you are my
Forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave
Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you’re there
