We lost our best friend...

Hello, my wild hearts. I'm sorry I haven't posted a blog in a long time. I went to work, started new directions for my art work, and enjoyed every free moment with family and friends without filling up my website or social media.

The end of 2025 flew by. The autumn days were replaced by winter, we were with family over the Christmas holidays, and we celebrated the New Year with a trip to Adršpach with all our furry friends. While I was working on the video from December, my greatest fear, which creeps up on us with every other pet birthday, caught up with us. Unexpectedly, from one day to the next, we lost our kindred wolf wild soul, our best friend, and we were left disoriented and soulless.

It took me an awful long time to even dare to start editing a new video about all of this. So much material that I have from those wonderful 11 ​​years, photos and videos that I may never use anywhere, but will remind us of this amazing adventure that we experienced thanks to Wolf. His unexpected death broke our hearts into a million pieces and it is difficult to relive that feeling through this video. Another heart beat with him in our household and that heartbeat and his daily joy are now incredibly missed.

To give you an idea of ​​what exactly happened. Wolf was 11 years old in September, but he was still very active, he liked to run with the wind, carry a stick, a ball, a toy and enjoy every moment outside with an unforgettable smile from ear to ear. Our last week was like that too, because we went on several trips, for example, to take a few self-portraits together at the frozen icefall Šikľavá skala.

On Friday morning (February 6th) we went for a walk like every day, but I already saw that something was wrong. I took videos just a block from our house so I could show them to the vet when Wolf collapsed into my arms. The man from the nearby store offered me a ride, for which I am very grateful. At the first vet they only found anemia and a weak heart rate, the other results were exemplary and at the second they were able to tell us with the help of an ultrasound that an unknown mass on the spleen was visible, which had burst and was bleeding into the abdomen, which was later confirmed.

We did not want to admit that Wolf was slowly saying goodbye to us during that day, which he showed us with his looks and devotion until the last moment. Despite the fact that he was already dozing most of the time and it was clear that he was slowly leaving, he gave each of us one more deep look in the eyes. Maybe he wanted to tell us that he was ready to leave, but we were not ready to let him go. We decided to have him operated, but after consulting all the facts with the vets, such as the large blood loss, the small heart rate, his age and other risks, we finally had to make the most difficult decision.

A person can never prepare for this loss, even if they wait for it, even if they cry about it a hundred times before it actually happens. Animals live in the present, they don't care about what was or will be, they love unconditionally in the moment. That's why this month that we mourn for him is also full of love and gratitude for the wonderful life that we were able to experience thanks to him and the joy that he brought to our lives.

He was the dog of my dreams since childhood, a big wolf cub who slept at my feet, wandered through the forests by my side and was amazing, exceptional, a part of me, a piece of that unbridled wild soul. For over eleven years we were inseparable. And that's how we will remember him.

But nothing can prepare you for the silence and emptiness that comes afterwards. An empty dog bed, an uneaten can of meat in the fridge, his toys by my bed that he would no longer carry around the apartment for me to throw to him... What to do when we organized our every day around his needs and never saw it as a restriction, but it made us happy to go where he could go with us and live life with him. When he was no longer here, we took his dog friends out, even though we missed him so much on this walks. I felt like the whole world had quieted down to a minimum, we had lost a big part of ourselves and we didn't know how to function without him.

We bring him home as soon as I arrived from Prague under the Tatras and Loro and I started living together. He was with us almost our entire relationship, he went through all the sorrows and joys with us. We returned home to him even when we were only leaving for work or far away and we couldn't wait for him to welcome us again and all the places in the world at that moment didn't have such magic as his joy of our arrival. We will miss him forever. We experienced the most beautiful moments in our lives with him and I will carry that love and his spark in my heart until the end of my life and I will try to transfer it to every work that I create with my own hands.

He was the one who inspired me after years to return to making silver jewelry, which is more than a piece of metal. They carry life, memory and love. I decided to make these pieces not just for friends, but for each of you who would like to carry a talisman with the print of your animal or human friend. I have a lot of work ahead of me, but I would be very happy if you start following my brand Wolf print jewellery on Instagram, where information about creations and products will be added in the near future.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the beautiful messages, words of condolences, and love you have sent us. We were surprised by how many of you Wolf has left a mark on, whether you have met him or just followed us on social media.

It was difficult to return to these moments through videos, because we entered the new year with so much love and joy and were incredibly looking forward to another spring and summer together. Our chapter in life with Wolf has closed, but his stories will continue to live on.
