Ahia Kaufman Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

SEVENTEEN years ago Ahia joined our family. Buckeye no longer had our undivided attention and he didn’t like it at all. We traveled from Ohio to Texas with him rejecting her the entire way. The moment we entered our home in Rancho Viejo Buckeye changed his attitude and seemed to joyfully welcome her to her new home. She had a hot temper right from the start. If she gained access to something she knew you didn’t want her to have she would rip your hand off to keep it. Even if she didn’t necessarily want it! But in a heart beat she could be the sweetest little lady ever. She would look at you with those beautiful eyes and melt right into your heart. For the rest of her life she was that sweet little girl who loved a good tropical breeze in her face. On her walks Ahia had a favorite palm tree she wanted to “claim as her own”. She would sniff…then in one smooth e move…throw her hind legs as far up that tree as she could reach…then “CLAIM IT”. Once in a while she would escape the house stretching her body like a greyhound to enjoy her freedom while she had it. One particular escape was in the middle of a very busy highway with me in chase to stop traffic yelling “DO YOU WANT A TREAT ! DO YOU WANT A TREAT !”. Ahia would let you know at the same time every evening when it’s time for bed. She kept better time than any clock. She never in her lifetime ever barked at a cat or any other animal …. except a passing dog. Until just recently she would rather burst than potty in the house. She loved a strong wind, traveling in our motor home, and slow walks. Literally stopping to smell the roses. She dealt with pancreatitis, dementia, loss of hearing, loss of sight, and loss of appetite. She lost so so much weight. We did everything in our power to help her. We believe Buckeye was there to welcome her as she crossed rainbow bridge just as he did in the very beginning. WE ALEADY MISS YOU BABY GIRL! April 18, 2004 -July 26, 2021 -Robert & Lorella
