| Leo Love Story |

Jore - when I saw you for the first time at the age of three weeks, I knew that you would be the one! Actually it was you that made the choise, you chose me by staring long and deeply at me and then coming into my lap sleeping. You are the one and only that can stay in my heart forever. The one, that no-one else can take your place, the one, who will always be there where ever I will be even though we were apart. There is nothing, not-a-thing, that can take your place in my heart! I had been waiting for you so long, so long without knowing it was you I was waiting for. But for the first sight I knew it was you… Leksa - I had a dream in which you came from nowhere smiling happily and said : “I’m Havu-Laavun Aurinko-Leijona and I’m on my way to you!” Then you just disappeared. I saw you both, Leksa and Poika, in my dreams even before you were born. In my dream you were the siam Leonberger puppy twins when born but then sliding smoothly apart from each other. I felt something special would happen. You were born as a last male puppy, Leksa, next day after the others, weaker than the others. But as soon as hearing from Riitta that you were born, I felt relieved, now, there he was, the one meant for me.. Until you finally came into the world I had felt somehow that something was still missing. As soon as you were born, I knew you were the one, Havu-Laavun Aurinko-Leijona “Leksa“. Anyhow you were only as a loan for us and left us with sorrow and misery, but heart filled with love and affection. On the same day when I took you to autopsy and came home crying without you, a big black butterfly with yellow stripes - like colour of the Sun (Aurinko) - and light blues dots - like colour of your puppy string around your neck - in his wings, flew right next to me. I felt it was you, who came to me saying “Don’t be sad, I’m here right next to you”. One week later, the day I called to Riitta for asking if Poika was still there and told that there would be a home for him with us, you, the butterfly, moved into our house, staying on the balks in out ceiling. Just like saying “Right thing to do, to get me back home again”. You stayed there until I got Leksa’s ashes from the crematory, then you disappeared and I did not see you again anymore. Like you had done your comforting job, to comfort until Leksa would be at home again. Poika - when I went to take you home exited and with mixed emotions after Leksa‘s sudden death, without seeing you for few weeks, as soon as you came into my sight I deeply felt that I had known you all this time - of course I had seen you many times after you puppies were born, but that was not the feeling I got, I really felt that it was no new puppy I came for, but the one I always somehow have had - and that you felt the same with me. You came to me saying “Hello, I’m back here, let‘s go home!”. Sleeping soundly all the long way home. And finally arriving home, Jore just glanced at you and wagged his tail first time since Leksa died, like saying “Hey, were were you for these few weeks? I missed you soooo much! So, let’s play, my Boy (Poika)!” Then I thought back and realised that this story had already been told to me before in my dreams… the twins that separated into two. The first born male and the last born male of my once in a lifetime leo, Jore… and I had always thought that if Jore would ever had his offspring, I would like to have his first born son… and then I got the first and the last… I have been so lucky to have them both. But I think that also this was planned somewhere beforehand. I’m so happy to have a chance to live my life together with these two ruler of hearts in my life and these three in my heart. I could not ask anything more… I just love every day I live with them and every single thing in them and would not change a thing… Thank you for being just you, Jore, Poika and the little angel Leksa! I love you all forever! You are my life and joy!! Thank you Monna and Riitta, the breeders of these wonderful leoboys - the very special and unique ones for me!!!
