Vale Ikimba Puuma 17.2.1999-15.12.2008
Puuma is no more, the cancer had spread and today her beloved vet Dorte came to the house with a lot of lovely treats and put her to sleep right on the kitchen floor where loved to lie watching the cooking and eating. Puuma went to her final hunt with her mouth full.
Even if Puuma did not get as old as she should have been, she was one of the grand old ladies of the breed.
With Puuma everything was larger than life: her constantly happily wagging tail - which once during a Ridgeback party at the house wagged so much that it sprained, her appetite -which was legendary for its ability to eat and digest EVERYTHING (including a bag of dried chick-peas when Yankee emptied the larder for her) , her love for all mankind - reserved? not her, her courage - even in the face of ghosts at the temperament test she did not back down even for a second, her undiluted resent for all canines not in her pack- and of course her sheer size which did not dimish over the years.
The house is empty now - quiet.....

Bon Voyage Puuma. You will be missed by so many here.
Please say hello to those we love on the other side.
BIG hug to your family who had to make the final decision today and let you cross the bridge.
Run free sweet Puuma.
Some tears are falling now....we wish Puuma a safe way to the rainbow bridge, and all the best for you!
"Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...."

Åhh mor-Puuma, du kom alt for tidligt herfra - vi vil savne din altid varme velkomst og logrende hale.
Dog er vi glade for at dine mennesker ikke lod dig lide og kunne sanse at få dig ud på din sidste rejse før din sygdom berøvede dig dit humør og din personlighed selvom vi ved det er så frygteligt svært at sige farvel - men heldigvis vil du leve videre i dine dejlige "børn og børnebørn" til glæde for os og andre familier, som er så heldige at ha' en Puuma"hvalp" højst sandsynligt i sofaen (O;
Så ja "run free sweet Puuma"
