@AveryBa68752542 We have a rescue. He’s a beautiful agouti husky that the owner threw away when he was not even 8 weeks old. He still suckles on his comforter. I love this dog beyond reason.

@JoeNewberry My oldest son is in hospice now and I wish that nurse was there! The caregivers have not been the best and he is in constant pain. We finally got through to everyone to up the meds. Everything (almost) has shut down or is shutting down. I want him to find the door soon.
