It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Maude, our beloved bearded dragon. For 16 wonderful years, Maude was so much more than a clinic pet—she was family.
She watched generations of clients & patients come through our doors, bringing smiles, sparking conversations & quietly comforting us with her gentle presence. Those of us who cared for her every day knew her favorite basking spots, her little routines, her sass & just how special she was.
Maude grew up with our clinic & became part of its heart. She was a constant through the years — saying goodbye leaves an empty space that won’t soon be filled.
We know many of you loved her too, and we are grateful she touched so many lives.
Rest peacefully, sweet Maude. Thank you for 16 years of quiet companionship, comfort & joy. You will always be part of the Affton Veterinary Clinic family. ♥️🦎♥️
