Petey, forever in our hearts

Nov 7, 2016 | Blog, The Sanctuary

Friends,

Papa and Petey were two darling doxie brothers who came to us from Caroline County when their owner went into a nursing home. A perfect pair, as adorable and snuggly as can be. Papa lost his sight and passed away a few months ago due to his advanced age.

And now we are very sorry to report that Petey passed this morning from congestive heart failure. He slept with all of us last night on the couch, he was cuddled up snug under my arm. This morning when it was time to go wake up Petey to take him out, he looked like he was having trouble breathing. It was fortunate that Connie and Craig were on the way to help with the Kennel, so they just changed directions and rushed Petey to the ER. He actually passed quietly in Craig’s arms on the way.

We are so thankful for the love and affection Petey has given us while he’s been here. And we are equally thankful to all our volunteers, like Connie and Craig, whose help and devotion mean so much to all our residents.
