Kara
I wanted to tell you how sorry I am about Kara.
I'm so very glad that I got to meet her. I will
always remember that sweet kissable face of hers
and those noises she made when she wanted her squeaky
toy or attention. You're right, Kara knew what she
was worth and wasn't going to settle for anything
less. Your beautiful Kara was adamant about adhering
to standards. She was so good with puppies and initiated
them into the game of boxer play. Your puppies had
a wonderful role model to learn from. I'm sure Kara's
spirit will live on in all the puppies whom she
graced with her feisty attitude, standards for excellence,
and affinity for toys and games. Kara is in a beautiful
place right now. There is no pain or discomfort
and unlimited playtime, cookies, and squeaky toys.
Remember, Kara will always be with you...in your
heart, mind, and the exuberant spirit of all the
dogs she mentored. Kara was amazing because of you.
She is a testament to all the hard work, dedication,
and love you put into being a boxer breeder. I can't
take away the pain and sadness for you, but I am
always here to listen. You're never alone. We send
all our love, sympathy, hugs & kisses to you,
Zoltan & the doggies.

Condolences
My condolences, she was an amazing and unique lil'
girl and I only met her once. I always speak of
her and the impression she left with me. You hit
the nail on the head when you spoke of her being
a constant in your life. I do understand your loss
and how hard it is to find a friend like that.

So
sorry
Dear Alexandra, I was so sorry to read recently
that you lost your Kara. Looking at the pictures
in the Memory Gallery, I was reminded of her strong
spirit and playfulness she taught our Sora in the
time she spent there with you and the Eurozone kennel.
I can fondly recall the life our happy Sora had
there with you before she came here with us. Kara's
strong yet uncomplicated looks reminded me of my
girl I lost right before I adopted Sora and so she
was definitely one of my favorites in my visit to
meet you and your doggies. As we all have lost at
least one dog who has a place near and dear in our
hearts, in reading your sentiment I was also reminded
that the day will come when we will lose our special
Europeans, Sora and Rex, and that thought had me
choked up indeed. The only solace for you, I am
sure, is that you have many other special friends
in your kennel there. You can add new memories to
other fond old ones that exist with Kara, Jenny,
Santos, and the countless others in your past. My
thoughts are with you.

Kara
Dear Alexandra, the collection of photographs in
memory of Kara is beautiful. Capturing the many
milestones in her life is priceless. Looking into
the eyes of our four-legged family members is like
looking into their soul, innocent and forever caring.
Sharing our lives with such loving creatures is
a blessing. Our sincere condolences for you and
your family.

Hello Alexandra! I hope you feel better today, but
I know it´s only two days since you lost your
old lady. I´m feeling with you and I know
how it hurts, I thought it will never be the same
life again. I can tell you, my Gino will never be
forgotten, he will always be my good boy, I loved
him and I will always remember his smell, his eyes
and his face. In the first days I had sorrow to
forget all of this, I took a big plastic bag and
put his things in it, like his blanket, his toys,
and his other things. And every time, I think he
is not with me, I go to this plastic bag, put out
the blanket and smell him. Every time I have to
cry, but I feel better, because I know, he will
always be with me and he also never forgets me and
I can be with him any time I want. I have the blanket
with his smell. Maybe it sounds crazy to you, but
it´s my way to go through this hard time.
Now it´s been two weeks, and, trust me, it
doesn´t hurt so much like the first days.
Everything will get normally again, although I couldn´t
believe it at first. But there was Anya, she needed
me, she was suddenly very lonely without her good
friend, she doesn´t know what happend and
why he can´t be with us. And then came Teddy.
The incredible thing is, that this little baby boy
washes away all my pain, he makes me laugh again,
and, whats the most important thing - he makes Anya
feeling happy, she already has the old way of looking
at us again. There is no sorrow or pain anymore.
So, I´m sure, that Gino is watching us from
heaven, he takes care of us, and he sent me Teddy.
We talked about it last week, do you remember -
it has to hurt, cause when it hurts, you know that
you loved. Your good lady will always have a place
in your heart, like Gino has his own in my heart.
Forever. But there are the other ones, they need
you, because they don´t understand what´s
happend, why she doesn´t come back. You have
to be strong, but I´m sure, you know that.
I wanted to write you, because I understand you
so much, and I want to tell you, that time is on
your side. Time makes every pain easier. And there
are the other babies, they will show you that this
all is the way of life and cannot be changed. And
that´s the best for us all. We all meet in
heaven, I´m sure. All the best to you - kisses
from Teddy,
Claudia (Austria)

Alexandra, I have just seen the news on your website
and as I type this up I am crying for you and your
dear Kara. I know there is nothing I can say that
will take away the sadness and deep loss you are
experiencing at the moment. Just know that I am
with you in spirit at this sad time and pray that
you find relief in knowing that Kara is running
and jumping and playing in heaven, waiting for the
day she will greet you at the rainbow bridge and
walk with you once more. All my love,

Arabica
Saddest greetings, Alexandra and Zoltan. What a
beautiful picture of this grand Dame to honor her
life and passing. She looks so happy, as I believe
all your dogs are. I am sorry she has left this
earth, and I know she will be dearly missed. I hope
her passing was swift and painless. As I pat my
11 year old Boxer on the head, I hope that Miss
O'Kay Arabica will be there at the rainbow bridge
when it is her time to leave me. Deepest condolences.

Rainbow
bridge
Alexandra! Az alábbi sorokban találd
meg a vigasztalást. Szívembõl
együtt érzek veled! A Mennyországot
a Földdel egy híd köti össze,
melyet Szivárványhídnak hívnak,mivel
számtalan színben ragyog. A híd
innensõ oldala lágy, zöld fûvel
borított dombok, hegyek, völgyek földje.
Amikor egy szeretett állat meghal, ide kerül.
Itt mindig van elég víz, eleség,
folyton lágy tavaszi szellõ fújdogál.
Az öregek megfiatalodnak, a sérültek
újra épek és egészségesek
lesznek, pont olyanok, amilyennek álmunkban
látjuk õket nap mint nap. Napjaik
önfeledt játékkal telnek, boldogságuk
mégsem teljes, mivel mindegyiküknek
hiányzik az a pótolhatatlan személy,
akit maguk mögött hagytak. Nap mint nap
játszanak és rohangálnak, de
eljön a nap, amikor egyikük hírtelen
megáll. Fénylõ szemei a messzeséget
fürkészi, vágyakozó teste
remegni kezd. Hirtelen kitér a csoportból
és szinte repül a zöld fû
fölött egyre gyorsabban és gyorsabban.
Észrevesz Téged és amikor te
és különleges barátod újra
találkoztok,összeölelkeztek az
örömteli újraegyesülésben
és soha nem váltok el többé.
Az öröm csókjai záporoznak
arcodon, kezed újra simogatja a szeretett
fejet és végre újra belenézhetsz
azokba a bizalommal teli szemekbe, amelyek olyan
régen távoztak az életedbõl,
de a szívedbõl nem hiányoztak
soha. Végül együtt keltek át
a Szivárványhídon.

you are OK
Just called to check on how you are doing - I saw
this morning that Kara died. That is a beautiful
picture of her, it really shows her strength. Let
me know if you're okay to talk or if you would rather
not. Big hug,

I'm
so sorry
Alexandra! Am I right - Kara has gone? I'm so sorry
for all of you. At least she had a long and very
good life. She was loved every minute in her long
life by her family.
I never met her, but I always loved her face. Such
a darling.

(originally sent in Russian)
...I am very sorry to hear the bad news. I am not
sure if it will make you feel at least a tiny bit
better...but I am sure Kara had a great life and
the best owner any Boxer can have. Unfortunately
we have to accept that no dogs nor people live forever...
Kiss Jenny on her nose,
