My wife and I had always had at least one dog most all of our 40 years of marriage. We lost Bear at age 12 in January of 2022 to bladder cancer and Kelso at age 14 to tracheal paralysis about 6 months later. With my in-laws living with us since March of 2020, it would not be wise to induce a puppy in a home with two 90+ year olds, one in a wheelchair and the other on a walker.
My FIL passed in April and my MIL now lives with my wife’s sister. So three weeks ago we “took the plunge” and adopted a rescue pup.
So meet my boy, Elroy!
