An update on my neighbor

Disclaimer: Don't read this if you don't want to be sad.

They have moved my neighbor, Judi, into a nursing home to die. She is on oxygen and morphine but has no other support. She can't open her eyes but if her husband holds them open it seems like she can see him. It is likely a matter of days at this point. Please pray that it is fast and as painless as possible.

Last nite I chatted with her husband as he was on his way to take Nash, one of Judi's Great Danes, to the nursing home to see her! For those of you who don't know, Judi has raised and shown Great Danes for at least 20 years. We have always lived across the street from at least 4 Great Danes!

When they had moved Judi to the nursing home the day before, her husband had two of the dogs there when she arrived in the ambulance: Nash, her old guy and Tyra, her new young pup! I hope that the visits from her dogs are bringing her comfort.
