My beautiful boy is home. I had been dreading this day because it makes it real …and I’m still not ready to accept that he’s gone or to process the enormous loss. The grief and heartache is all consuming. How did this happen so fast 💔

I keep expecting him to follow me upstairs, to lay his big heavy head on my feet when I’m working, to just come and check on me after he’s woken from a deep sleep. I miss his snoring at night - I slept better with that. I miss everything about him but most of all knowing I will never get to hug him again tears me apart.

What a weekend! Our rambunctious 9 month old puppy came out in style.

After winning two majors at the Tri Valley Working Dog Shows on Friday including a BOB over specials - he went on to win BOB on Saturday over specials and Winners Dog on Sunday for two more majors at the Riverside Kennel Club All Breed shows 🎉🎉. If our math is correct he’s just one point away from finishing - all at just 9 months old 🎉

Thank you to judges Dr. Johan Becerra Hernandez and Mr. Walter J. Sommerfelt for picking our boy from a beautiful lineup.

Thank you to our amazing breeders Beth Van Horn and Nicki Dobson for entrusting us with this gorgeous boy and for the support of our Newf village.

Thanks as always to our incredible handler Carlos Carrizo for teaching and guiding this youngster - we are so happy to have you on this ride.

It’s been an unbelievably tough week. How is it already one week since you left us Koa? The pain hasn’t diminished. The heartache hasn’t healed. The tears haven’t dried up. 💔

These beautiful memories were sent to me by our dear friends . Koa and Oliver are related and just five months apart. They grew up with each other and had a beautiful bond. Over the years we added to the crew and the “brat pack” was formed. Oliver, Seymour, Finley, Koa and Boss. So many memories and adventures together. Now three of these beautiful souls are 😇 watching over us.

We miss you Koa, Boss and Finley. I hope you are together up there 🌈

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the messages of love and condolences at the loss of our beautiful Koa. We are completely overwhelmed by the outpouring of love from all over the world.

I have read every message and every comment through tears and overwhelming sadness but in awe that he touched so many people. Thank you for the heartfelt messages, for sharing your own losses and for the uplifting quotes which are so needed at this time.

Koa would have loved each and every one of you. He would have laid his big fluffy head on your feet and expected all the attention. So on behalf of him I thank you.

We have a long way to go to be able process this enormous loss. He was my everything. I can’t even catch my breath when I think of him. My heart is completely shattered. 💔

Thank you again so much. ❤️

Quick update on Koa : but first thank you to everyone who has reached out. We are overwhelmed and so grateful for the love that you have shown for our boy.

Koa is not out of the woods yet. He is very sick. But we are hopeful that the medicine will be able to manage his condition and that he will turn around soon. Our biggest challenge is not eating so if anyone has tips for that please let us know! They think the medication is causing the loss of appetite so for now we are making food and using a syringe to get something inside him.

Thank you to the cardiology team of for the love and care they are showing our boy. He’s in great hands and has some of the best of the best working with him. We are grateful to have them so close by.

Keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Koa is a warrior as his name suggests and we are not giving up on him without a fight ❤️

Kekoa is a Hawaiian name meaning Bold, Brave and Fearless - and our boy truly lived up to that last night. Koa fought against all odds and made it through an unbelievably terrifying 24 hours.

But today, thanks to the quick action and expert care of VCA West L A Animal Hospital ER & Cardiolgy team he’s been cautiously cleared to come home. This is the second time they have saved one of our boys.

We are deeply moved and humbled by the outpouring of love, prayers, and messages we’ve received. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts — they worked, and we are beyond grateful to be bringing him home today.

For some, this may seem like just a dog, but for those who are lucky enough to share their lives with Newfoundlands (or any dog who is truly family) you understand this fear all too well. We are not out of the woods yet but we are in a better place than 24 hours ago.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the love ❤️

Prayers needed for our big boy. Currently he’s in ER hooked up to fluids and a heart monitor while they try to figure out what’s going on with him. Please send all positive thoughts. We can’t loose him 😢
