My hostess has been crying for some time now. I asked her about a week ago, what is wrong and she answered: "Matti is very sick. You won't see Matti anymore." I understood immediately what she meant, but Ciara was so stupid that tried to show her new trick of seeking humans or dogs and started seeking Matti from the forest. I just sat beside Cami and let her hug me and sing to my ear: "All my loving I will send to you. All my loving, darling I'll be true". She sang the same song to Matti's ears when she got the opportunity to say farewell to him. Just a couple of minutes ago, we got the message that Matti basenji has moved to the Rainbow Bridges. We will always love you darling!
I was about one year old, when I first met Matti in a sighthound club afternoon arranged for running free in the fenced area. It was love at first sight. The love continued until Ciara came between us last year by vamping Matti's attention totally. Matti has been the most important coach for Ciara, because I was not able to keep in the same speed with those two. I heard that Ciara had a date with Matti two wees ago on island called Linlo. She told me that Matti was in an excellent condition. That's why the news of Matti came as a shock to all of us.
