I'll put this here, because it just fits better than anywhere else.View attachment 398133
This is Lady.
She came to stay with us while her owner was in the hospital.
He moved to hospice yesterday.
We'll take her to see him this afternoon, before he's unable to say goodbye properly.
Her and Mocha get along great and play till they fall asleep.
She's adjusted pretty quickly because we've kept her before while her owner was in the hospital and rehab.
I guess she's ours now.
We took lady to see Mac today. He was asleep but knew we were coming and instructed us to wake him no matter what.
We got him woke up and coherent.
I asked if he wanted Lady. He just reached out with both arms. I sat her on his chest and he wrapped her up. She was licking his face and her tail was a blur. He's very weak. Cancer in every organ and abdominal fluid. Not many days left that he will recognize.
Anyway, we'll be back tomorrow or Sunday, or both. Mac has no family. Never married.
One thing Mac loved was dogs.
The highlight of his day was walking Lady down to our house and getting all the dogs in the cul-de-sac out to play.
"Dog party" he called it. Then he would hand out treats to all in attendance.
ETA. He asked last year if we would adopt Lady if something happened to him. Of course we agreed.
