News that breaks our hearts…


Even though we’re in the middle of the holiday season, we have serious news to report. Lady Gaga and Glinda’s biological mother, Kiara, passed away today. She was coughing up blood two weeks ago, so her owners took her to the vet. According to the vet, Kiara had an ulcer which kept bleeding and for two weeks she fought for her life in the hospital. Today was the end of Kiara’s long painful struggle.

We received the news a couple of hours ago from her owners/parents. They were both devastated and shocked about the passing of their beloved dog, “I just can’t believe she’s gone. Yes, she was a dog, but she was more than that. She was our friend, confidant, and a member of our family.”

One of Kiara’s owners is a Breast Cancer Survivor. During the rough times of doing Chemo therapy, her owner was physically and emotionally exhausted, however when Kiara entered the room, the energy changed, “She would brighten my day with that smile of hers. Most days she would lie right next to me and every hour that passed she would pop her head up to see if I was okay. I really do believe she was an angel sent from God to help me during that difficult time.”

Finding out the news ourselves, we cried and hugged our dogs. Kiara gave birth to Lady Gaga and Glinda. We want to think positive and we know Kiara is in a better place. She gave us happiness, joy, and love…without her presence, our lives wouldn’t be as joyful as they are today. We will miss you, beautiful Kiara.
