Mai: It can't be... you're lying. Tell me it isn't true! *cries*
Meomi: I'm sorry... Chedey's... gone.
Mai runs off crying.
Charita: I don't understand... I spoke to him yesterday.. he seemed... fine *whines*
Meomi: His heart just stopped. The vet couldn't get it going again...
Dante: This is so surreal, Chedey was everyone's father figure. He sure made me feel that way. I can't believe he's really gone.
Meomi: I'm going to go check on Mai, I'll be right back.
Meomi: Mai, sweetie?
Mai: This can't be. We were supposed to grow old together. He can't be gone. What about the kids, they will be heartbroken. *cries*
Meomi: I know hun.
Mai: And this house, everything reminds me of him...
Meomi: Penny has offered a place in her home for you. You're welcome to stay there for as long you need to.
Mai: *cries*
Meomi: *softly pets Mai* I'm sorry for you loss. I'm going to miss him too. Call for me if you need me. I'm going to go check on the other two.
Charita: I wanna see my dad.
Meomi: Ok? Sure.
Charita: I can't stay here. With everything that happened prior to this, I can't anymore. I just can't. I want to be with my parents.
Meomi: I understand, Charita, and will abide to your wishes. I will contact Bostone and make the arrangements. But please know you are welcome here anytime, I mean it.
Charita: I know... thanks.
Meomi: So...
Dante: I'm going to lay low for a while. Maybe even join the Sanzim sled team. They were looking for a recruit.
Meomi: Ok sweetie.
Dante: I'll be living at the other house. I'm sorry.
Meomi: Dante, I'm going to tell you the same thing I've told Charita, I understand and you're welcome here anytime! Please promise me you'll reach out if you need anything.
Dante: *small smile* I will. Thank you for everything. You're a great mom.
Meomi: And you're a great dog. I'll miss seeing you every day.
So Chedey is gone. My crew is split. Sad, I know. I'm sorry guys
Mai is being sent to Penny. She is going to take care of her now. Charita is going back to Bostone and Dante is moving with my other huskies.
On the positive side, I do have some new pups arriving:
See the arrival of these two little guys in tomorrow's update.
