On the 6th of October our Int. Nat Champ. Thorin has died.
For Thorin, from a special friend.
Anne, thank you, I know you where one of his dearest fans.
by W. H. Auden
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crêpe bows round the white necks of the public
doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
He was one of our older generation like Donna,Mayday,Qennedy and his littersister Titania.He was the last one of them and it was very hard to let loose....but we had to let him go for his sake.We did not want him suffer and medicine did not help him anymore.
He was a great Champion and had a great Caracter! OK, he was not perfect, ( which dog is ? )I had my whishes in his head, but for a White-Black newf he had a good body, a lot of bones,very good angulations, perfect coat and excellent movements.And for all I was proud of him and it was so good to have him.
I am very glad I have got a very promising granddaughter " Mahelia"( Oyokipi-Mio) and for us Thorin will live in her and in our mind.
But ..BOY ..... I miss you...........
When he was still young.... and has won this in one day...BIS on the CACIB show in Metz France.........
