It’s with a heavy heart that I pass along the news that we’ve lost another copyeditor. Louisville “Lulu” passed over the rainbow bridge yesterday, a little more than nine years after we brought her home. She’d been suffering from dementia for about a year and took a turn for the worse on Sunday night. Yesterday, she stopped eating and drinking and as anyone who owns a dog knows, that’s never a good sign. She was somewhere between 11 and 12 years old.
