Pancake Fang     Color: Apricot        AKC: PR02038301

Birthday: May 15 2003 - July 03 2017

High: 26 inches, 62 lb

Beloved Pancake Fang took his last breath in my arms at home,
on the quiet evening of Monday, July 3rd, 10:41 p.m.

It was the most painful, yet most sacred moment of my life —
to hold you close, to feel your breath grow soft,
and to whisper that it was okay to go.
You left this world naturally, peacefully,
surrounded by warmth, love, and home —
the way every soul deserves to be held.

💫 My Beloved Pancake

My darling Pancake…
Mommy wants to thank you again —
for saving my life, not once, but countless times —
physically, emotionally, and in ways beyond words.

You were not just my companion;
you were my teacher of Unconditional Love —
pure, radiant, infinite.
Your sweetness, generosity, forgiveness,
and deep sense of justice shone brighter
than anything I have ever seen in human form.

You were Love made flesh —
Joy walking on four paws.
For fourteen precious years,
you filled my world with laughter, courage, and grace.

🕊️ Where Love Never Ends

There are no words vast enough
to express my gratitude or the honor
of being your human mommy.

Life is Love — and Love is you.
Come back to me, my baby Pancake…
Let’s go hiking again,
let’s make art under the open sky,
let’s take road trips — just you and me.

Mommy will miss you forever,
and the world feels dimmer without your colors.

💖 With Gratitude

To my friends — thank you for loving him too.
For every pat, smile, kind thought, or moment you shared,
know that Pancake felt it all.
He truly was a remarkable soul.
Please click ❤️ for him — and for us.

With Love,
July 3, 2017

🌿 The Inspiration Behind Lake Sai Poodles

Pancake is the heartbeat behind Lake Sai Heritage.
He was the reason I began breeding Standard Poodles —
to honor his spirit, intelligence, and healing presence.

He saved my life more than once after I moved to Chicago.
When I discovered his own health conditions
made him unsuitable for breeding,
I promised him that his legacy would continue
through my mission to improve and protect this extraordinary breed.

🐩 Pancake’s Spirit Lives On

Pancake was one of the most intelligent beings I have ever met.
He knew more than 200 English words,
and Anthony and I often had to spell them
so he wouldn’t understand what we were planning!

He was like a bright young child —
curious, expressive, and full of heart.
Playful, strong, brave, and endlessly loving,
he joined me on a 14-day hiking and camping trip
along the Appalachian Trail,
standing guard outside my tent at night,
sensing every whisper of the wild.

The first photo of him was taken in March 2014 —
so full of light, strength, and joy.
At fourteen, he was still healthy,
wandering the farm proudly beside the other dogs,
his eyes always watching me — loyal, focused, true.

He is, and always will be,
my forever love.

🌸 About the Breed He Inspired

Standard Poodles are loving, athletic, and versatile —
a perfect harmony of beauty and intelligence.
They thrive on connection, play, and purpose,
and above all, they love to be near their humans.

Pancake was their living poem —
the standard of love that continues to guide us.

🌙 Epilogue — Where Love Still Walks

And so, my beloved Pancake,
you have only changed forms —
from fur and heartbeat to wind and light.

I still feel you beside me on the trails,
your joy echoing through the trees.
In every sunrise, your spirit rises again —
faithful, free, and forever near.

You are not gone, my love.
You are simply home —
in every breath of the earth we once walked together.

✨ In Loving Memory of Pancake Fang — the soul who opened hearts, inspired Lake Sai, and continues to walk in spirit beside every step of love we take.
