My friend called last night to say "Maddy", her 11 year old Newf had left quietly yesterday morning. She was a lovely old lady, dignified to the last. Her Newf partner had been with her at my house just a couple of days previously and was so tender, standing watch over her and licking her face. Guess he was saying good bye too. She was his adopted "Mom". Maddy's owner wrote this and sent it to me just a few days ago:
