Ekkie
is a son of the American male Fire Mountains Bad Boy,
whom we had the pleasure of having in our household for
a few years.
He
was a very strong and powerful male, always active and
ready for action. His mate was Gulch, these 2 dogs could
play together for hours. Ekkie had a very pleasant, yet
dominant character, which also gave him a certain
attitude and presence.
Ekkie produced his first
litter in 2006, ex Gulch. From this litter we have kept
their promising daughter Storm.
On March 17, 2008 Ekkie passed
away after a bloat. Not even the strongest body would have withstood this
torment.
Where to begin if you have had
the privilege to own a dog such as Ekkie? This dog has been so extraordinary
and special to us and his loss has left deep scars. He didn't have the easiest
character, he was dominant but oh so sweet to us. The way he sat in the
garden, just looking and thinking about life itself, a slight look at you,
that big paw just clumsily put in your lap... that will never ever be
forgotten. Luckily there still is Storm, his daughter; if we look into her
eyes we can see Ekkie's soul reflected - a gift from him to us.
Sweet, bold Ekmans, thank you for
being with us, though it was way too short, be good big boy!
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
And I don't need to see anymore to know that
I can read your mind
Looking at you
