Kane: February 11, 2017 - December 24, 2024
Our day did not start the way we thought it would. At some point in the night Kane passed away. He did not act sick, there was nothing out of the ordinary. Larie put the boys to bed, and in the morning he was gone. He must have bloated during the night, his stomach was extended and hard.
We worked so hard saving him from bloat just over a year ago. I wanted him to fully heal before we tried to breed him again. And we also had the copper head incident.
This big lug of a dog has taken a big chunk of our hearts. He was such a gentle, loving soul. He didn’t want you to leave and would hang onto you with his mouth. He was the longest, biggest Newfoundlands I’ve ever seen. His paws were those of a huge black bear. Life will never be the same here without him.
Even though this is incredibly hard to accept, I also think how lucky Larie and I have been. We have been loved and loved some incredible Newfoundlands. At one point we have loved thirteen of them, and a whole bunch of puppies.
We are going to miss you Kane. But I know you will be there waiting on us someday with a kiss and a bear hug. Run free sweet boy, I’m sure rainbow bridge is beautiful.
