Homemade Goodies by Roz

Saying goodbye is never easy and however long we have, it's not long enough. 💔

We knew when we sent Manny to foster, it likely wouldn't be for very long. Some redemption stories only last a couple weeks.

Manny's a**l stricture was too severe and the location of it rendered additional surgeries an impossibility. Doc gave us the "quality of life" speech. We countered with a "Can we get him in a loving foster home and hope for the best?" He said yes, and from there Manny spent the two best weeks of his life. Unfortunately his solid p**p success was short lived before Manny was straining, bleeding, and uncomfortable again.

The most loving decision we could make was to end Manny's suffering and allow him his dignity.

Denise was with Manny today and he passed, peacefully, surrounded by love and free from the pain and discomfort that plagued him.

Sometimes we just get them too late.

So long, Manny. We will never, ever ever forget your sweet little face. And thank you to Denise Brown for being Manny's angel. 💔🌈
