Farewell to Our Dear Oreo

After 10 happy years, our dear Oreo passed away on July 19, 2023. She was 12 and a half years old.

The vet says Oreo must have gotten a virus. We can only guess that it was from the boarding place because she and Peter got very sick and malnourished when we fetched them from boarding at HRS after our month-long trip overseas. 


Oreo was cremated and is buried at the foot of our little tree in the front yard. That tree is special because it was planted shortly before Oreo and Cookie were adopted.

Peter had an operation and was placed on antibiotics after a vet visit in August. They had to shave his lower body to treat his raw inner thighs and feet, which were infected by bugs. 


Peter has since grown back most of his fur. He wears a puppy diaper because he can't hop to the litter box like he used to. 

Peter's hind legs are now permanently disabled, but he still tries to move around with his strong front legs and continues to lift up our spirits when he begs for treats. He continues to have a good appetite and attitude.

Here's Peter enjoying his greens.
