My condolences. Also, "Focus on career!" made me LOL.

Oh Spike! I’m so sorry you lost Pascal over the weekend. My deepest condolences. May the bonfire of regrets, doubts, horror stories and all that people have given to be burned, go up in a blaze, from which Pascal and her energy will live on. 💔 🔥

hi Spike, I feel the bitter sweetness of Pascal's passing. You were a true friend.

And happy birthday to mercy ... I think that you gave yourself some mercy in this time just adopting a healthy purebred puppy.😀🌺🙏

Emmanuel says death is like taking off too-tight shoes. But in the case of those of us not wearing shoes but are otherwise restricted- collars, fences, bossy cats- relief and freedom. Happy birthday, Mercy.
