A week of Loss here

This week has been a very emotional one here at the kennel. Words can't begin to describe the sorrow that is in our hearts. Last Monday Feb 3 we lost 2 wonderful dogs. TWD's Emma and TWD's C Loutus de Loufranc. Emma was 11.5 and Loutus just celebrated her 13th birthday this past November. Both the girls were taken from a horrible fast growing cancer. It came about quick and we decided to ease their pain and let them pass to the bridge in peace and meet the others who have gone on before. The loss here has been profound and everyone here human and canine alike are feeling the pain and loss. The girls have been looking for their mom's. Loutus was a gentle soul to both human and canine baby alike. Emma was content to just be Emma and enjoy her retirement days in leisure.

Yesterday saw another tragic loss here. We lost NduringPeace's Captain Barbosa aka Rocky. Rocky was Emma's son. We are not sure what happened we went to do kennel checks and he was gone. He had been sad all week and not quite himself but we couldn't find anything physically wrong with him. He was a wonderful soul here at the kennel much loved by all here. It still surreal that he isn't here.

Rest well Emma, Loutus and Rocky.....wear your silver harnesses well......run free and teach Frank how to drive a dog team while you are up there! Til we meet again......all our love,

Dante, Cathy , Matthew, Ethan and Joshua and the rest of the gang here.
