Poochini: Pooch joined the Leashes End Family in April 2024. His note from the shelter read: “Poochie is a distinguished gentleman and is calm…and so very gentle. He would love for someone to give him a soft quiet space where he can relax.” Look at this big smile! That was the face of 15-year-old Poochini. Poochini had a lot going on. A large mass inside his mouth. Multiple anal masses. A huge mass on his tail. Grade 3 dental disease. And to top it off, severe kidney disease, which made him a high risk candidate for surgery. So… Poochini was a hospice dog. We kept him as comfortable as we could for as long as we were able. And just look at that smile; Poochini never did get the memo about how sick he was! He just juiced the most out of life every single day. Poochie succumbed to his cancer in the summer of 2024, way too soon. RIP Poochini; may your memory be a blessing.
