Bug
Bug: Weighing in at under 4lbs, 13-year-old Bug was frail and tiny. When Bug joined us in November 2022, she was still a feisty little girl despite having suffered from both kidney and liver disease. Notably, she would sit on her heels and demand food whenever a human sat down to eat! Over the months, she began to slow down and we had to assist her with eating and eliminating. She had what appeared to be a really good day on 09 February 2023 despite all her ailments. She snuggled in Alex’s arms that afternoon; ate a hearty roast chicken dinner; enjoyed a Pupperoni snack before bed; exchanged some “your momma was a Poodle” insults with Walter in bed; then slept with her tiny head on my shoulder and pillow. But when I went to wake her the next morning, she had passed in her sleep sometime in the early hours of 10 February. Bug came to us from the Maryland SPCA in Baltimore where she had been surrendered by construction workers who had found her roaming the streets as a stray! Bug leaves an outsized hole in our hearts and home. RIP Little Bug. May your memory be a blessing, Z”L.
