Sad Day - 10/07/17

Maurice (“MO”)

"MO's” Final Journey

It was a very sad day today. We lost Maurice, a cherished four-legged member of our family.

Maurice was a 16 year-old, male toy poodle who we adopted on April 13, 2017 from Sharon’s sister. She was suffering from failing health and could no longer provide care for Maurice.

We were not sure how long we would have Maurice as a member of our family, due to his advanced years. But we were determined to provide him with the best life for whatever time he had left.

During early October there were telltale signs he was in distress. Our veterinarian confirmed his vital organs were shutting down. We did not want him to suffer any further and made the decision to put him to sleep.

Maurice had been with us for less than six months, but we packed a tremendous amount of loving care for the little fella for the short time he was with us.

R.I.P. our faithful companion. We will miss you!
