“A Hard Goodbye” – Kale

Our condolences to Paula Huffman on the loss of her girl Kale.  Pictured above is Kale and her brother Augustus with Paula.  I remember Paula adopting Kale, a Dane with issues.  She was not good with other dogs and had some other things to work on, but Paula did not give up and stuck with it.   My heartfelt thanks to Paula for being a true Great Dane person who put in the work needed to make Kale the Dane she knew she could be.  Here is what Paula wrote about Kale:

“I’ve been dreading this email….this inevitable email.  But I did want to let you know that I had to say goodbye to my sweet girl Kale.  She was over 10 years old and my dear companion for over 8 1/2 years.  Tears fill my eyes and are literally running down my cheeks as I write this.  Even thought I have Augustus, my other Dane, there is an emptiness in our home.  Life is different and we are learning to adjust without her quirkiness, her silliness and her presence.  I am so grateful to you and Great Dane Rescue for providing me the opportunity to have her all these years.  What you guys do at the rescue matters and it really does positively impact many lives.  I will always be grateful for you.”

We are grateful to Paula.
