We would like to ask the TOESR family to honor our adopter, Doug Morrison, who recently passed away unexpectedly. Doug had reached out to us in mid-May for any help we could offer to take care of TOESR dog, Chewy, who'd he'd previously adopted. We were lucky to find a foster home who agreed to take care of Chewy until she'd be able to return home to him. Doug's situation was more dire than expected however & after being admitted to a hospital environment, he passed away there a couple of days later. Meanwhile, in the next few days after Doug's death, the 11 year old Chewy's health seemed to also deteriorate to the point that we had her assessed at a local vet's office. Her visit didn't appear seriously abnormal for a dog her age however the day following, Chewy took a turn for the worse & couldn't move, refusing to get up. After numerous conversations with the vet, Doug's friends & our group, it was agreed that, since there were other health issues for Chewy, it would be kindest to let her go. We were able to do so, humanely. On a final note, Doug's friend had advised that Doug's Will stated that if he passed before Chewy did, he wanted to have their ashes placed together and scattered at a location known by those who would carry out those wishes. Chewy's ashes have been delivered to Doug's executor to make that happen. One final thought I'd like to point out is that Doug and I had multiple conversations over the past several years and he always made a point of stating that he didn't rescue Chewy but that she rescued him. Doug loved Chewy and she loved him. May they rest in peace, together.
