China
China: 19-year-old China joined the Leashes End family on January 5th, 2020. She’s wa a super sweet spaniel/terrier mix. She was so laid back … and had a novel way of sitting up like a person! Poor China came to us emaciated but had put on 4lbs before she passed away unexpectedly. She suffered from bronchitis (cough); kidney and liver disease; rotten teeth, and some damage to her lower spine, which caused lameness in her back legs and sadly incontinence. But China had a good appetite and a great attitude! She enjoyed running around the grounds, sniffing all the smells, exploring the bushes, and just LOVING life. China got sick very suddenly at the end of February 2020, with multiple organ failure and sepsis. She was suffering and her odds of recovery were very low. We decided the most humane course of action was to help her across the bridge. RIP, Sweet China. May your memory be a blessing.
