I have remained quiet about the details surroundin I have remained quiet about the details surrounding Tamaya’s sudden passing right after her 7th birthday because it has been just too difficult to talk about. From the urging of dear friends I have set up a page to honor Tamaya and I explain what happened there. If you feel you want to donate in her honor that’s lovely too. Click the link in my profile and select “Honor Tamaya” 🐾💕
