Last year, I said goodbye to "Grampy Oliver," a senior Shih Tzu I rescued. Our time together was short (I only had a chance to make him this food stand,) but I'm forever grateful for bringing him so much joy during his golden years. Now, the universe has brought another senior into my life. Gary bears an uncanny resemblance to Grampy, and his story tugged at my heartstrings. Gary's beloved human mom passed away, leaving him without the care he needed. He and his brothers ended up at a shelter, where sadly, one struggled with aggression, and another lost an eye due to an ulcer. Gary himself had dental issues that made eating difficult. Fortunately, the shelter provided the dental care he needed, and his foster dad (my best friend) lovingly nurtured him back to health. Now, it's my turn. I'm excited to shower him with affection and, perhaps, build him a special project. Welcome, Gary. You're home now.
