With the compassionate assistance of Dr. Howard, we very sadly said goodbye to our family member, Kira, on Monday, July 19. We were privileged to have her in our lives for 10 years. Although we have had many wonderful Alaskan Malamutes over the years, Kira was exceptional with her antics and love for us and all people. Indeed, we do not exaggerate, when walking on lead by a parked vehicle, she would pull us toward it because she associated even an empty car with possible new friends. Many, many locals and visitors made her day over the years by saying hello or patting her head, and we want to thank you all. Also, during her life, Kira was fortunate to have loving care provided by Linda Downs, locally, and Dr. Howard since puppyhood. We are sad now, but are happy we were blessed by her sweet spirit. We will miss her every day. Steve and Marty Priest Lake City. When a Malamute Dies... I wake at night and hear a soft, sweet howl floating on the wind ... a kindred spirit gone from here and now, yet lingering, forever lingering. I see the ready smile, the proud, yet gentle eyes of my dear friend. I smile and weep for what we shared ... a bond too strong to end. When a Malamute dies, a rare and special being passes from this life to that unseen place where only love resides. In Memory of Kira 6/8/2011 - 7/19/2021
