Maggie |
This was one of the last pictures from before Maggie started to get sick. She was always a picky eater with a lot of allergies, so it was hard to keep weight on her. We went to the vet 5 times in the last month, and none of us realized how serious it was until the last week.
Patches & Pablo |
I found the leopard at the pharmacy while waiting for Maggie's last prescription; it's named Patches, which was her name at the shelter 8 years ago. I went back to get it after she was gone & of course had to bring home a friend too. Getting Duke was the best thing we ever did for Maggie.
Duke & Maggie |
Duke and Maggie were inseparable, so he was there for every vet visit, even at the end. He had never been without her since the day he came home 7 years ago, so everyone was worried how he would handle it. He's actually doing a lot better than anyone expected.
Duke and Ozzie |
Of course he still has Ozzie & the rest of the cats, so he's not really alone.
So glad to hear Duke is adjusting. It is hard. I am sure he understood how sick Maggie was. Hugs to you all.
