Memories of Georgie with Doris and Squishy



Goodbye Georgie

A huge loss in my animal family today. George a funny, loving, qwirky Miniature Schnauzer passed away suddenly from liver related cancer issues. It came on quick and we had no time to let it sink in. I've been taking care of George and his sister Doris for the past 7 years of my dog walking career and they were always my "kids" from another father.   George took some time to warm up with me and to everyone. He eventually was a big kisser, though he had started out as a shy guy. He was never a cuddling kind of guy, but he loved to tap my arm or hand so I would continue to pet him on his back and give him scratches under his chin.

This loss is so shocking, as his sister Doris has been sick for the past year and we knew our time time with her wouldn't be much longer.  Never for one minute thinking we might loose George. RIP my friend, we will love you forever.
