My little girl, Maddie, was a rescue from the pound. She tested for heartworm and her human gave her up. She was five. She's been under treatment for heart murmur for 5 years, and is now experiencing bladder & colon obstruction. But her personality is just as happy and perky as ever. I had a cat that was with me for 23 years, who had 5 litters before I could get her in for spay, she was always pregnant before I could get her done! She was an outside cat until the last five years when I moved to a condo and she became a couch queen. I've had one large dog and 2 small dogs as an adult, and never boarded any of them ever. They went with me, or I had a friend stay with them. I'm retired and had a part time job driving for retirement home residents on the weekend to the store or church. I stopped working once the pandemic forced the facility to lock down & all off-property trips were prohibited. That was June 2020. I moved from Dallas to the lake and am ready for part time work.
