Oooh, I have another pic
This was Cally, our dear, sweet DYH who was in her fifties or sixties when she came home with us. She was wild caught and had been used as a breeder all her life until she joined our family. She and Ki were living in a barn with several other pairs, and everyone was plucked
Surprisingly, her health was good, as were her tests. She had gout, but we treated it and she wasn't in as much pain. She was on Metacam for the rest of her life and that helped a lot. When she passed, it was sudden. She wouldn't have wanted Ki to worry about her, he adored her and was nervous all the time, looking for ways he could protect her. He and I bonded much like Jax and I did after we lost the one we loved. I hope it helped them as much as it helped me.
