Date of Death:
Our strong, sassy, stoic, and sweet girl Leona crossed the rainbow bridge this October. She sends us nudges from above quite a bit, which we really appreciate since we miss her everyday. You may remember Leona as a GA38 pup - one of the last to be adopted. Last, but not least in our book- oh how very grateful we are that she waited for us!
Sometimes time is better measured in miles than minutes. From a road trip across the country to many beach trips digging in the sand to cozy days at home to "working" the farmers market to frolics in the woods to protecting her little brother on wagon walks.
Her DM diagnosis was devastating, but/and not only did she rally (and roll!) she also leaves a legacy in our neighborhood and broader community for pets with disabilities - and the ways our most loyal companions can continue to thrive with adequate supports, resources, and compassion. A week has not gone by since she passed when I haven't run into or heard from a dog/human we met on our journey who are benefiting because Leona was a rolling ambassador for pets with mobility differences and the full lives they can lead.
I want to extend deep, heartfelt gratitude to everyone in the MAGSR community who was kind to Leona, and who led her to us. Please know that Leona found comfort, joy, and peace in a life we created and re-created and adapted together. She was supported and spoiled in the best ways - and she supported and spoiled us back with the greatest gifts we could ever ask for - her time and her trust. We carry her with us in our hearts always.
