MandysMom Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Kizzma has been one of Mandy's closest walking buddies for years. Her owner is one of the best dog owners I've ever met. She loves Huskies and knows how to handle challenging cases. Everyone complements her on how well-behaved her dogs are. That's due in large part to the fact she is a calm person who walks them for 2-3 hours a day, letting them explore different paths daily and giving them clear direction. She also takes them to many local parks to give them something different to see and sniff. Kizzma was always the dog in charge on walks, but she normally ruled with a calm velvet paw unless a squirrel was in sight -- she wanted to do the chasing, by golly. I do remember a funny moment, we were on a walk and a group of people stopped to admire Mandy. Kizzma waited for a couple of minutes, then started howling as if to say "hey, pay attention to me, too!" Kizzma started to slow down about a month ago (not bad for a 14.5 year old) and was diagnosed with cancer about a week ago. From the description, I believe it was Hemangiosarcoma. Her owner came home from an errand yesterday and Kizzma had passed away. Here is a picture of the "gang" from a few years ago: Kizzma is the red Husky in front. Her "brother", Frankie, the black Husky, passed away suddenly last Christmas. Godspeed Kizzma, we'll miss you terribly. Quote Beverly.
