It's been a rough year, no lie. Too many of the photos I've taken this year were destined for the veterinarian.
A sterilization clinic is in the works but life keeps getting in the way.
The last week has been spent bringing Brooklyn back from the brink; she ingested an unknown toxin, and we thought we were going to lose her. We did all we could but were expecting the worst. Happily, she has pulled through and is getting stronger. I don't want to speak too soon but we may actually end the year on a high note.
Since the last update we've lost a few more old friends. Inevitable but always difficult.
Chester was with us a long time, one of the 1st adult strays to join the troupe. He survived heart worm and was a smart and loving fellow.
Most recent picture of him, sleeping next to his daughter Blue
one of my favorite shots of Chester
another old favorite
Greta, our leibling. A slew of health issues and an indomitable spirit.
An old shot of Greta playing with Monkey
showing wee Rufus the ropes
and one with Zasu (who is still alive and mostly well at 23)
We had to say goodbye to Mo.
Momo was sweetest of her sisters and outlived them both
Xmul wasn't related but they were raised together and Mo loved her best
Mo was so happy to see Xmul the last time she came to stay -maybe she knew it was the last visit.
The youngest of our recently deceased was Zoot. He and his siblings showed up at the end of 2011 to irrevocably change our lives.
there will never be another like him
We lost him to aggressive skin cancer. He had survived and recovered from multiple surgeries but these last tumors were awful and we couldn't put him though any more.
Better days, happy and covered in marmot poo
Rest in power and chaos friend
An injured pup he rescued last week is being fostered (by the aforementioned Lisa and Tim) and will hopefully be going to a permanent home this week.
rescued and rehomed
