Abner
Abner: On 16 March 2024, we bid farewell to our sweet, tiny Abner. 16-year-old Abner came to Leashes End from Prince George’s County Shelter on 03 October 2023, weighing under 5lbs! But his personality was huge … and he was a demanding, little chatterbox! Abner had a few health problems, including a respiratory infection, a large ulceration of his left eye, and a dislocated patella. Ultimately, it was liver disease that did poor Abner in. During his brief life at Leashes End, Abner slept next to my head at night … one of my Yorkie bookends. Initially, Walter claimed the other side of my head and later Milton took Walter’s place. Sadly, no one can fill Abner’s place. Abner was a favorite among staff and volunteers alike, especially Jane and Michele. But Jane was Abner’s favorite person in the whole world and he departed this world cradled in her arms … his favorite snuggle position. Thank you, Jane. RIP, Abner. Z”L … may your memory be a blessing.
