Wordy Wednesday - Maggie

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.

Not Wordless

Maggie
Maggie isn't feeling well, she just started a second round of antibiotics to get rid of a bad cough. She lost too much weight in the last 2 weeks, so we've added soft food to the dogs' breakfast and dinner.

The Boy
Duke thinks the new food is the greatest thing ever, and only eats his share. Such a good little brother!
Luckily he hasn't caught her cough and is still medium chunky, just like good salsa. :)
