Now we are seven!
It’s approaching 6:30pm here in Oregon.
Jean and I have just returned from taking Paloma to Lincoln Road Vet Clinic.
The reason being is that not two hours ago, Jean and I came into the house to find Paloma paralyzed in both rear legs.
Dr. Russell Codd at the clinic determined via an X-ray that a spinal disc had ‘popped’ and contacted a spinal nerve, hence the paralysis.
My planned post for tomorrow is postponed. I’ll write a eulogy for Paloma and publish it instead.
I am so sorry to hear about Paloma. My condolences to you & Jean. That exact problem occurred with my Arnie. Please know my thoughts are with you both.

Mercy it just does not cease. My sincere sympathy to you and Jean. This must have been an awful shock. I am deeply sorry that Paloma had to be put down. Please find solace in the fact that you gave your pet all the love and care possible. I assume that Paloma was a rescue from Mexico and was a very special dog.

Oh, no, Paul!!! I’m so sorry my friend! It is hard to believe and not so long ago, Casey. I know words can’t take away the pain but you have my thoughts and I’m sending you both my love and hugs.

Marina, as we were driving Paloma across to see Dr. Codd, the vet, it was haunting me in the sense that it seemed just a flick of an eyelid ago that we were driving across with Casey.
But your thoughts and all the precious expressions of caring from everyone do make a difference. To a degree they do take away the pain because I truly believe that love washes away pain. There has been so much love sent our way.
