Dear Lynn: You wrote: "My tricolor Kai was the dog of my heart, the tears still come when I think about her and I miss her every day. But the other day, I was sitting watching TV, surrounded by three cuddling and snoring Cavaliers and realized that if Kai was still with me I would never have these 3 loves in my life -- and probably would have had no reason to learn about the current breeders in the Cavalier world, join cavalier chat lists, and would have not been able to make so many "list friends" that I have. I've come to the conclusion that the loss brought -- in its own weird way -- new joy and love."
What a beautiful tribute to Kai - that through her, you attribute the love, growth and enjoyment you have today!!!! Does it get better than that? I think not! Imprinting on another's life (human or animal) in such a positive way IS remarkable! Speaking of imprinting in a positive way, I've never had the physical pleasure of having met Rosanne, but I am also one who has experienced her generosity in a totally unrelated matter (but still cavalier related). I would be in line to attest to her unconditional generosity!! We are fortunate to have her in our midst. To Gayle and Catie - congratulations on your union! Perhaps Meggie paved the way, in the same way that Kai did for Lynn, and you have great things in store for you! To Lynn: since you are relatively close, I thought I would be sure to inform you that our Canadian Regional Club is hosting a Specialty Show on June 30th (Sunday). If you think it's possible for you to attend, let me know. It would be approximately a 2 hour trip for you. If interested, contact me for details. Love from a whole-colour lover, through and through.
