Hershey
Hershey: Our resilient, little Hershey passed away 23 Feb 2023. Such a fighter, Hershey had survived starvation, blindness, incontinence, brain damage, and dementia. Against all the odds, 17-year-old Hershey spent her last 13 months at Leashes End, working her way deep into our hearts. When Hershey joined the Leashes End family on 28 Jan 2022, she was starving and bony and suffering from severe emotional and neurological problems. Within one month of her arrival, she had put on weight and filled out nicely. Even her hunched posture had started to relax. Hershey knew that she was safe and loved. She never missed a beat when it came to her goats’ milk, meals (she had a hollow leg!), or treats! Perhaps the greatest gift we could give her was a spacious, fenced yard to pace around … her favorite pastime. Hershey was not really a cuddler, but in her last few weeks, she seemed to appreciate sleeping next to me in my bed during the early morning hours. Rest in peace, Hershey. May your memory be a blessing, Z”L.
