Years after Mugen's painting, she passed away in July of 2011 due to a few complications. However, she lived an amazing life filled with love, and her family who adored Mugen surrounded her. She was truly one of a kind and appreciated every single day that the sun rose up on. Her memory will always be cherished, and she will never be forgotten!
On the other hand, Kai is now an "only child" and my only grandpup for now. It took some time for her to adjust to being the only one, but she is now embracing her independence and learning to be more of an alpha dog!
