Great Loss

With deep sadness, Lynda - loved by havanese Panda and Logan, her husband Gallan, son Jon and daughter Jaclyn passed away today. She was not given enough time. But she is no longer in pain from the evil cancer that descends on too many.

One of the last things she messaged me 2 days ago was can she see videos of the pups. I sent her the link. I tried contacting her after that as I was busy dematting 3 dogs - sigh. She never returned the message - how unlike her. This morning I asked her daughter and she says she is no longer able to communicate as she was heavily medicated to keep her from being in pain. Then I got a call from her son saying she passed away.

It's never easy losing someone you care deeply for. I for one will miss her. Panda and Logan will miss her greatly.

Covid is not easy for the families and friends who can't say goodbye in person. I will miss our dinners where she broke her vegan diet and had a shrimp or two. I will miss laughing, complaining and most everything.

I will be updating the puppy blogs today but not this one. I will play catch up tomorrow. Thanks for understanding.

Am so very sorry to hear this. Just heartbreaking for her family and pups. There are not many among us who have not had loved ones taken by cancer - it is merciless. My condolences.

So sorry to hear.
