To all our dear friends at Second Chance Dobes...

I am utterly, utterly heartbroken to have to share with you all that we recently lost our angel, Makai. He had developed two serious issues in two discs in his spine which took him from literally running with his bestie, Lola, to complete paralysis in his hind legs within ten days.

I stare at this screen not knowing what to write next but only knowing that I have to get this excruciating pain out of me...I am so, so sad that he is no longer with me or and his love, Lola. Two hearts in a basket they were...

I watch Lola wondering about the yard, waiting in front of the door, whimpering around the house and I am just gutted for her, absolutely just gutted. This was a special bond that won't repeat itself and I feel blessed to have been privelaged to nurture their love.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, I have ever experienced in my life can come close to the feeling I had of my beautiful daughter, Keala, bonding and falling n love with him.

I know you all understand the profoundness of my loss so I felt I owed it to you all to share my grief with you. My heart is broken, my beautiful boy...I hope you are whole again and I will miss you forever.

Thank you once again to Arda and ALL the wonderful people at Second Chance Dobes for this incredible gift to myself and my family.

Bless yo all,

Nofal, Lisa, Keala and Lola Paulus

I'm so very sorry to hear about your loss of Makai.  I can feel the heartbreak of your whole family through your post.  I hope time will heal your pain and that you will be able to take comfort knowing you gave Makai the most wonderful, loving home a dog could ask for.  I know he will always occupy a huge place in your hearts.  We never have enough time with them.  Run free at the Bridge, Makai..........

Thank you all for your kind words...I know you all also have felt the profound loss I've felt before, feel now and most certainly will feel again.  And the reward of having these angels in our lives is worth every bit of heartbreak once they leave us.

 

Rest in peace, my angel, I cannot get you out of my mind...or out of my heart.
