Our sweet Dee Dee, the second oldest dog in our crew at 15 years old. Her history was a little more complicated than Macie and Jay Jay's. We had known her since she was a puppy as she was a family members dog, but due to unfortunate circumstances they could no longer care for her at the level Dee Dee needed. She actually stayed with us a few times throughout her life and was raised around both Jay Jay and Macie but didn't officially join the crew until around 4 years ago and had to immediately undergo a major dental procedure where they pulled all but 9 of her teeth to save her from the severe infection caused by dental disease. She recovered well and became my shadow/velcro dog, she was an absolute sweetheart who loved to be doted on, cuddled, and next to me as much as possible. She was diagnosed in March 2017 with the early signs of kidney disease, we were able to treat her with meds, prescription diet, subcutaneous fluids from home, and an herbal blend which gave us years longer with her than our vet ever thought possible in her original condition. She was laid to rest in the comfort of our home (home vet visit) in July 2019. Her favorite things were being wrapped up in a blanket, napping with the crew, and she thrived off constant love and attention. We will always miss you our sweet precious Dee Dee girl.
