November 11, 2017 to August 17, 2025
Thank you to David Nelson, who drove all the way to Richmond to save us on Sunday, August 17, 2025.
Sunday, August 17th at about 4:20 PM, Mr. Blue Newman suddenly left this world, much to Merley’s and my shock and horror.
He came into this world on November 10, 2017 and arrived at my house in early January 2018, to Mr. Buddy Wiggles’ and my delight.
He saved us from the grief of losing Fritzie and Mavie (2016 and 2017) and after a brief bout of jealousy, Blue became Buddy’s true Brother (and they really were half brothers).
While many thought he lived a charmed life, he did face physical challenges and some health conditions, always with courage and grace.
When we lost Buddy in 2023, Blue and I were devastated. So on August 31, 2024, we adopted Mr. Merley.
It has been over nine years since I have been without a Great Dane and I am heartbroken. But I am grateful that Blue’s passing was on his own terms and not some long drawn out painful saga. Momma always said, know when to leave the party.
So, while Merley and I are struggling today, tomorrow we will return to doggie day care and work and together we will carry on.
Blue joins his brother, Buddy and all the lates and greats I’ve been lucky enough to call my four legged children.
