Our puppy placement families become just that, part of our extended family. They are not only the unit that loves and protects one of our pups, they are people we admire and who have a very special place in our hearts. It is therefore extremely hard when one of those members is taken from us. It is with very heavy heats then that we receive the news that Lesia, one of the guardians and owners of our Rufus ( 2004 litter) has passed away suddenly.
Lesia and her daughter flew from Ontario to spend time with that 2004 litter. We were so happy to meet them and see them fall in love with those pups. Lesia's deep love of family and animals was immediately obvious. When they left, the list of pups they preferred I believe included every male in the litter and we were very happy we had a wonderful puppy to offer them from that litter.
Over the last 6 years Lesia and her husband Jeno worked with Sylvia to get a championship title on Rufus and to provide a wonderful and loving home to him. We knew we were blessed to have them both in our family circle.
Now Rufus is having a hard time without the support and love of Lesia and no way of understanding what has happened. We know that Jeno and Rufus and family will support each other in the days ahead as they try to find their way. Our prayers and our hearts are with them.
