PEPSI
Here Pepsi is
working with a search for a moose-calf that was severely injured during hunting.
It was an early autumn morning, the weather was really good and all conditions
for working were perfect.
A fairly easy work for her and we could find
and put the calf to sleep without any prolonged suffering.
She was always
very focused and could never leave a job unfinished. Once we were tracking an
injured
moose for more than 7 hours but she did not want to abort the work
although it was totally dark and late at night.
Luckily we could finish the
search in the morning after, but it was not until then she could relax from this work.
Age slowly started to show, she was getting more tired and lost stamina.
Very often we had to leave her at home
when we were out having fun or
training and it became harder to se her sad face when she did not have
the
strength to come along. It's always hard to decide when the dogs are not acutely
ill, but after almost 13 years
of good life we had to accept that the quality
of her life now was not good enough and she was sadly put to sleep.
She left
us with an enormous sadness and a large empty space, but with only glad, warm
and fantastic memories.
