We said goodbye to sweet Maeby. Mae Mae came to us from Texas without any documentation in March 2020, right as the world was shutting down. She quickly made a home in a Jarvinen house, and then she was the one who welcomed fosters of all ages. Lucille joined her in 2023, and the two have since been inseparable. Sadly, Mae had two copies of a gene for Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis, an inherited neurodegenerative disease. She started showing signs in 2024, but wasn’t severely affected until this year. After surviving an unknown past, Heartworm disease, and having obvious multiple litters, she couldn’t overcome the destruction to her brain. We hope her perfect spirit is set free now, and she will be forever in our hearts. 🖤
