DOGS of KINGS - KINGS of dogs
OUR HOUNDS
OUR FINN
With love!
Finn, our Finn, my Finni-boy
The toddler who loved every toy!
Enjoyed life, loved playing.
Sweet in his cuddles, he liked Kato-teasing.
Biting her back legs is what he did!
Oh, he was a young, lovable kid!
Kato adored him, like he was one of her own.
Tolerating all he did, knowing he'd soon push her off her throne.
But ... that was for later my wee alpha-man when you'd be a grown up, I'll say.
In the meantime Kato defending you, attacking all who looked at you the wrong way.
She was ever so angry in her protection ... and you felt safe and gave her and us so much affection.
So sweet you were our 'little' 40 kg Finni!
Our funny active big boy!
When you heard me outside moving leaves with a brush ...
You came out to play, attacking the flying objects in a rush.
What happened next I still can't understand, A big bad monster bacterie stole you away
Into the clinic where they should have made you stay!
Kerstin and Ralph looked after you, so did Ian and me.
The calming pill the clinic-vet gave, we do not agree!!!
WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!
They stole my lovely sunny boy!
Who daily gave me mountains, no vulcanos of joy!
Not easy, taking over a very sad pack.
Finn did it with an easiness, of love there was no lack!
In just two days our world turned upside down ...
Can't believe you're gone, it shouldn't have been!
My Finni you had a long, infinite life to be seen!
Kerstin, Ralph, Ian, Kato, Calum, Clyde and I ... All pampered you, you were too young, too healthy to die!
I blame the vet, clinic but whoever I blame to get the sack;
It doesn't bring my lovely love-giving Finn back!
Wish I'd wake up from this horrible nightmare ...
And Finn would be next to me, his big eyes with a lively stare.
Wish it all weren't true and happening!
Love you so much my sweet, sweet Finn!
If my tears could sail you back home to us,
You'd be back so quickly, without any fuss!

WINTER 2012
FINNI-BOY
Stop the clock, and turn back time
Give me back what once was mine
A gaping hole runs through my heart
It's just too soon for us to part
Too late now, you can't turn back
You're too far down the rainbow track
They say time heals, and I know it is so
But I don't want to let this hurt go
I have my memories that is true
But I don't want them, I just want you
Then I remember, my Son & me
Talked of when we'd set you free
It would be wrong to make you stay
For what is a life, if not lived each day?
My tears have stopped, I now am dry
There are none left for me to cry
You did not leave, you are still mine
Just somewhere else in space and time
So wait for me my precious one
And when my time on earth is done
Then you and I can take our leisure
And build another life to treasure.
WITH thanks to Andrea Joyce
No words just deep grieve still.
You are that bright star above our house .
Luv you!
Finn in Spain - we didn't know yet we were gonna lose him at 5 months, 3 weeks to the klebsiella pneunomia bactery. This is one that killed many people in hospitals all over the
world! SUMMER 2012
