Leopold: In early November, 2023, we said goodbye to our sweet 18-year-old Leopold. He had only just joined the family on August 31st, which is too, too short a time. You could lose yourself in his beautiful, huge brown eyes and stare for hours at his derpy tongue. Leo had been languishing at the PG County Shelter, which is no place for a tiny, frail 18-year-old, particularly one with as many health issues as Leopold. Our vet told us from the beginning to just keep him comfortable for as long as we could. And if great food, fun walks, soft napping spots, and snuggling with me in bed at night counted, then we accomplished our mission. RIP, dear Leopold. May your memory be a blessing, Z”L.
