FROM THE [b-r-o-k-e-n] HEART
of the human in love with, bonded to, partnered with,
Magic Crazy Bear - Malamute / Being Extraordinaire
I am Peter, Magic Crazy Bear's human companion/partner.
We were an arctic-'wolf'pack of two.
In our pack, I was not the 'master', nor she the subordinate; we were co-equal. I do NOT believe humans are 'superior', and she only proved it.
We always had an unusually close relationship. We have shared together both great adversity, as well as amazingly fantastic times together - both of these often more extreme than most can imagine.
We spent all day, every day, for seven years together in many places, through many adventures, wonders, and adversities too - but nothing like the cancer battle.
We were fighting to hold the pack together; fearful if we lost one, we lost all.
We had no other close 'significant others' in our lives - we had only each other.
Without her I would never have been able to have survived the last seven years, Magic Crazy Bear helping me through the most difficult time in my life, after I'd lost all. However, I was still 'rich' because I had her. I was determined and obligated to repay all of her love, affection, companionship, faithfulness, care, concern, help, and support (to the very limits of my being) to keep her healthy, alive, happy, fulfilled - and with me.
I'd would have given my very life to save her, and spent the last of my funds on her health in the year-long battle.
Many times people have said how lucky she was to have someone so caring for her. Perhaps, but it is me who has really always the lucky one, for having had the great fortune to have met (and fallen in love with, shared with, and learned from) that wonderful, extraordinary being, Alaskan Malamute - Magic Crazy Bear.
Often, I have been asked me how long it took to train her. Not a moment. She never needed any training - she was naturally perfectly polite and behaved, because of her intelligence, empathy and desire to please me. She knew what was appropriate and needed, as a matter or course. I learned much more from her, than she ever had from me - and I am much the wiser and a better being for having been her student on many things. Humans would do better to learn from other animals, and this one was the best teacher I've ever met.
My heart was broken that she even had to loose the leg (and have her mobility impaired). I spent all I had on her medical bills.
I was once a very well-off person, but lost all I had [for doing no more than telling the truth] and have, since, just been able to make ends meet. For a year, we somehow did the impossible, given the unexpected and enourmous medical expenses.
She was the noblest example of the noble canine species and her very special breed.
She and I have lived in one of the world's most beautiful cities, and also hiked the world's most beautiful mountaintops.
She was only half of her normal expected lifespan.
This battle was not an easy one, for sure. If any two 'magic' and 'crazy' [in nice ways] beings could have done the impossible, it was us [we had done so before, to get this far!]. A wall of tears are rolling down from my eyes......as I write this.....I don't know what more to say....
