7/1/24 We had to say goodbye to our foster Mickie today. He came to us a little over a year ago when his original owner died and the person that took him in wanted to put him down but surrendered him to rescue instead because we agreed to take him. He had renal failure and the Southern NV Beagle Rescue asked if we could give him a comfortable place to live out his last few days. We figured it would only be a few weeks to maybe a few months because he was so skinny, won’t eat, and won’t even look at us. But he was comfortable here having us waiting on him by feeding him slow cooked chicken so that he could eat because his ulcers and few teeth made him a very picky eater. I’m sure because it hurt to eat.
He would let us know when he wanted something with a big bark and especially had Mike doing his bidding. We know he had a good life with previous owner but we feel like we gave him the best life he could have in his last year. His nickname was Mickiedo, he made us smile and laugh daily and we will miss his special personality. We called him a super senior because he was approximately 18 years old. Even though we knew he would not be with us for long, it is never easy to say goodbye to someone your love and we did love him very much. Rest in peace my Mickiedo, please tell Daisy and Cletus we miss them and will see y’all on the other side.
