With the passing of Windsor, editor and main contributor to this blog, the existence and the purpose of the blog have been called into question. The blog was Windsor's brain child. He wrote most of the articles and contributed materials and suggestions to many others.
He also had a dream: To establish his blog as a foundation on which to build a small not for profit organization that would take in a few old, unwanted dogs, care for them and give them a safe home in which to live out their lives in safety and comfort. Much like a mini 'Dog Town'. All he needed, Windsor said many times, was a kind soul to let him use an unused place to establish his version of a home for a few old dogs.
It was not meant to be.
Windsor's voice has fallen silent.
His passing left a huge empty space in my life and in the life of his surviving companion. With it, Windsor's blog not only lost the main contributor but also some purpose. While he was alive I could clearly hear Windsor's voice. No more, though the surviving Lord Protector claims that “the voice from the box” talks to him and gives him directions.
Judging by the clear and distinct change in attitude and the mischievous stuff the Lord Protector is suddenly doing I am inclined to think that there is something to his claim.
Be that as it may, I have thought long and hard about the future of the blog. I am very busy with another blog about a different subject. The Lord Protector, try as he might, will never be able to express his thoughts in writing. There is no one willing to carry on Windsor's work.
To honor Windsor and his selfless service to his fellow dogs, I am working to celebrate the life and times of my noble companion with a pictorial of highlights of his times with me.
Thereafter, I will suspend at least temporarily Lucys Dog Rescue Blog until it has found a new voice or I have enough time to dedicate to it. The blog will remain on the Net. I will drop in at occasion, maybe even contribute a little.
If anyone feels inclined to contribute or has a dog that has something meaningful to say and in addition wants to contribute regularly to the blog, drop me an e-mail please. We can talk about it.
Until then, thank you for your interest in the welfare of companion animals. Thank you for stopping by to learn from Windsor.
