Here is something from one of our happy customers: I lost my little dog Tuesday, Oct 22, 2024. He passed away. He was my baby, my best friend, and my constant companion. So loyal, so loving, so cuddly. 13 years. I wish dogs lived at least as long as their owners, because it is so hard to live without them! Heartbroken....Lost... Poopie was also 20 years old. My Dad rescued him from Hurricane Katrina when he was seven. He slept with me every single night. When he went blind, I talked him around obstacles or by snapping my fingers in the direction he should go. If he couldn't find me, he would do this little mournful howl. If I would forget the time, he'd cue me in to what I should be doing for him (like food time or treat time) by barking or howling. I'd pick him up or pet him, and he would stop because he knew I was there. He could say hungry and hurry. He definitely knew the words food and treats. Those words would always make him stop barking or howling. I never even left the house for long because I worried about him so in the last two years. I was the luckiest fur-mama in the world and so fortunate to be his caregiver as he got older. He was my purpose, my heart, my love, my life
