CAN DOGS TELL IF SOMEONE IS A GOOD PERSON?
The simple answer is an unequivocal YES! One of the many reasons dogs are incredible beings is their ability to notice and respond to the physical cues of humans. It is a type of sixth sense. We as humans don't always see these cues as clearly as dogs do. Dogs sense from human's overall body language and energy that they are "good" or "bad".
I can't remember when it was that I "met" Laura. It seems I have known her forever. Our friendship developed but wasn't physical, it was social and long distance and because of our mutual love for dogs. And it was THAT message FROM dogs that told me all I needed to know about her goodness. So, when James reached out to tell me that Laura's wish would be to have Diamond Dogs Rescue, Inc. receive donations in her memory it was not so much of a surprise to me. Being the champion for those neglected and disposed of dogs even beyond her time on this earth was so like Laura. I can almost hear her giving direction to us "you do this....you know how important being a spokes person for those dogs is to me!"
From the day that she friended our rescue and adopted her first dog through us, Laura was one of our most ardent supporters. In sharing my memories I want to tell you just what that meant. She reached out to network and support every dog we posted needing a home or help. She adopted three of her dogs through our rescue, she fostered, she directed adoptions to family members and she always enlisted the support of James in those rescue efforts. Laura never missed a chance to help and be that "voice for the voiceless" whose passion was loud and clear!
We are grateful for the role Laura played in supporting our organization and we share in the sorrow of this loss. Our organization extends heartfelt condolences to James and all the family.
It is with profound sadness that we announce Laura Jeanne McFarlane passed away after a short and sudden illness. Her loving husband James was by her side. Laura was from Granby, Massachusetts and made her home in Wildwood, Florida.
She is survived by her husband James McFarlane, her sons Collin Davidson, Thomas Long, Michael Long, Stephen McFarlane and grandson Henry McFarlane. Also mourning her loss is her brother Jeremy Davidson and her many nieces and nephews. She will be lovingly remember by many family members, including daughter in law Jasmine Davidson as well as her beautiful granddaughters, Hayden and Taya. Laura loved being a "Babcia" to her grandchildren.
Laura was passionate about family, cooking, travel, gardening, turtles and extremely passionate about rescuing dogs. She had a strong sense of community and befriended many in everyt place she resided It could be said she never met a stranger.
A celebration of her life and the love she radiated to all will be held at Baldwin Brothers Funeral and Cremation on January 31, 2025. The service will be from 2pm-4pm, located at 3990 SR-44E Unit 105, Wildwood, FL. 34785
It was Laura's greatest wish that, instead of Flowers, you consider making a donation IN HER MEMORY to DIAMOND DOGS RESCUE INC. This was a cause that she was very passionate about and even had several dogs that she adopted from them. To be able to save other dogs like her beloved Baxter and Chewy is the way she would want to be remembered by all. Every dog saved is a celebration of how she lived, full of compassion and always caring for others needs.
