Our loves can never live long enough and, no matter how old, they leave us too
soon. Ch Harts Hills California Girl ROM, our "Mali" crossed over the bridge
today. She was 14 years old in September. We will miss her terribly.
Mali lived with her coowner Gwen Foster, her best friend Tok, and 2 of her
daughters, Helen and Surfer. Mali was the queen of the house and kennel. She
knew her place in life and it was always at the head of the pack.
Mali was a fun girl to show. Thank you to Maggie Marshall for the time and
effort she put in handling this opinionated girl to her championship and?
beyond.?Mali was shown in the Honor Parade at the National 2 years ago. She had
begun to show her age and we were worried that the run around the big ring
would be difficult for her. She took a look at that ring, arched her neck, and
strutted around that ring as though she owned it..which she did in our eyes.
When Mali reached the age of 13 and a half her hindquarters had begun to
weaken. Gwen bought her a wheelchair and soon Mali was chasing her ball with
the support of the extra wheels.
This last week Mali had begun to lose her strength and refuse to eat. Gwen
agonized over the so very hard decision to help Mali along on her trip across
the bridge.?Gwen called and we ?discussed it this morning, and Gwen took her on
that long ride to the vet's office this afternoon. Gwen says that Mali passed
away peacefully with the help of the shot from the vet.
Mali has left us? some beautiful children and grandchildren with which to
remember her. She will walk over that bridge with her neck arched high and her
ears perked proudly. We who are left behind hold our heads low and weep.
