On October 17, 2016, Kami was diagnosed with lymphoma and given only two months to live. We were devastated as she loved life and lived for the show ring. With the help and support of dear friend Elim Cheng, we decided to forgo chemotherapy and instead placed Kami upon a managed diet which included regimen of alternative herbs and supplements. She did very well on this for four months until the last few weeks. Thank you to Elim for giving us those precious extra months to love and cherish our beautiful Kami.

But life will call with daffodils
And morning glorious blue skies
You'll think of me, some memory
And softly smile to your surprise.
And even though you love me still
You will know where you belong
Just give it time we'll both be fine
When I'm gone
