I am here with a very heavy heart. I lost my best friend, my companion, my reason to come home. KIMBA, no not the town in SA.
Kimba Crossed the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. She was peaceful and entered the fields with her coat glowing, her hair wafting in the breeze, looking like the Stately fine Ol' Girl she was. Kimba was cremated starting 8pm last night and I cried uncontrollably until a Valium my other meds and my sleeper did their job and I passed out. Today I walk alone.
Kimba gave me 15yrs of genuine unbridled friendship and love. I gave her the best I could and she has the respect of many other people and their dogs. Everyone loved her gentle nature. Below I copied from a post I posted elsewhere. the link to FB is back a few day before , then yesterdays post. My facebook page has more posts if you'd like to read our story.

I had an amazing day, 1.58am it started. Its was very comforting for my heart to have given Kimba a farewell that she deserved. I cannot describe the peace I felt saying goodbye, bathing. grooming and preparing her to cross the bridge in all her splendour and oozing charm, and the calmness she expressed in life.
Gary has experienced today that he has learnt new strengths he didn't think he had, experienced and shared in the special bond that Kimba and I have, and he honoured that with me. I owe him so much gratitude for helping me today, Kimba will watch over you also.
I am at peace I am OK. my new journey begins, I'll never ride alone. my journeys on STrangler may be longer as there's no need to find someone to watch over and keep her safe while I'm away. Kimba will be in my heart forever, she has left an indelible mark on my heart.
