"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." - Anatole France
This is a story about Maza, a one of a kind Lady...
No one actually warns you that a dog can become the greatest love of your life.
This unconditional, glorious, everyday, forever and ever kind of love slowly and quietly rearranges your entire world and changes you.
Saying "pet owner" just doesn't seem right as being a guardian of a creature so beyond pure and precious is far too great of a privilege- hence kahu.
Maza, my soulmate dog and greatest gift, gifted me with the privilege of being her kahu for almost 15 years, during which she enjoyed a fulfilled, vibrant, cuddly & healthy life. But anything less than eternity with them is too short.
This blog is my soul therapy as it allows me to somehow continue living in MazaLand as life is so much better with Her.
This knowledge has been gathered and filtered with love throughout Maza's life and it is now brought to you thanks to the support of Maza's and my favorite human, my brother - surely one of the best and most noble people on this planet.
Wishing your most precious companion(s) the longest possible healthspan and
reminding you to cherish every minute we are gifted with their loving presence.
From my heart to yours,
Maza's Kahu, Ivana
Maza's hero wall
Silent and unsung, not only the best experts on a global scale, but the best human beings we were gifted with and to whom I'll be eternally grateful!
Each with their own specialty, they are all so much more than doctors of veterinary medicine...
Maza's love wall
Then there were her beloved MFR therapist, aromatherapist, groomer and just people that adored her as much as she adored them..
With endless gratitude to Dr. Pitcairn
DVM and veterinary homeopath
This true gem of book kicked off my natural health for dogs journey when Maza was only a year old. In almost 14 years now, it never failed me. This detailed guide literally covers everything a responsible kahu should know. To me personally, Dr. Pitcarin's advice was of tremendous help not only in times of crisis but throughout Maza's life.
