With heavy hearts we are deeply saddened to share that Argos, the beloved Lord Dog, crossed the rainbow bridge last week.

Argos had a gift for bringing smiles and laughter wherever he went; many of you returning year after year hoping to catch a glimpse of the good Lord Dog in his rightful court.

He brought warmth, love, and a touch of magic to every faire season. His paws may no longer tread the dusty paths, but his spirit will forever roam our kingdom — in every laugh, every cheer, and every treasured memory of those who loved him.

Our deepest condolences to Jymme, his devoted human companion who filled his days with joy. Thank you for sharing him with all of us and allowing him to become such a cherished part of our community.

Rest well, Argos — faithful friend and noble Lord. You served your realm with grace.
