Alaskan Malamute Breed
Hi, I have enjoyed reading your stories, Malamutes are a wonderful breed
of animal and the best companions. I researched several breeds for 6 months or more when I was looking for a dog to join our family. My son
was 7years old at the time. After meeting with several Malamute breeders
we finally got our 5 month old Malamute girl. There were trying times but
there were more fun times, I lost her to liver cancer after 8 years, it
came on so fast and with no warning or signs. Kemo and drugs could not help keep her and it broke my heart to watch her put to sleep, She was
Eyota Miakoda (Power of the Moon) That was in June 2004 and a few weeks
later I fostered 2 Malamutes a Male and a Female (they had been together
in a family who could not take them with them on a work relocation) so
after a couple months they were signed over to me. The female Aneeak was
the reincarnation of Eyota Miakoda and it was as if she had come back to
me, same colour, features and especially nature, the Male Bello, well he
took a bit of getting used to, its 5 years down the track with them and I
have overcome obsticales with Bello and he has adjusted to his place in the household, ie number 2 honcho. I am sad as my girl Aneeak has a tumor
or cancer in her rib area she has a swelling in her right side and it is
getting bigger but she is soldering on, she is now 8 years old the same
age when I lost Eyota Miakoda, I told myself when I first took these two
Malamutes on that I would not allow myself to become attached to them, but, how can you not. I love my Malamutes and now I am about to loose
another, I have shearched for causes and reasons why, but there is no
answer, what could I have done to prevent this, I only ever give my dogs
the best, I spend more on their wellbeing than I do on myself. And that is so rediculious. But they are my best and most reliable companions since
I have been on my own for 7 years now.
I read the emails on this site and felt that I needed to talk about my
sadness of soon loosing another Malamute to Cancer.
