We recently received the following email:
“It is with a heavy heart that I am writing to you. Coal, our beloved little boy died last evening. He had kidney failure. We are incredibly sad, as this little boy stole my heart the first time I saw him. He and I had a special bond. When I came home in the evening he and Lucy were just so cute and excited running, barking and just being silly. I always told people no one can make you feel better than these two. Coal and Lucy have become good friends. Lucy, who is a sweet, gentle girl, sat for hours the last few days right next to him, as if she knew that was what he needed. Coal truly was a sweet boy. There was not a mean bone in this little boy. I will be forever grateful that you let us adopt him.
Coal passed peacefully in our family room on his favorite pillow. We were by his side. I am so missing my little boy with those big dark eyes”.
Please send Karin your love and condolences as she mourns his loss.
