Today marks Winnie’s 4th birthday, a day typically filled with joy and celebration. However, amidst the happiness, our hearts are heavy as we remember Kip, who tragically left us last Friday, just before her own 4th birthday. Kip was more than just a dog; she was a beloved member of our family, especially to my sister, and Winnie’s cherished companion.

Kip and Winnie grew up together, sharing an unbreakable bond that extended beyond mere friendship. Kip was not only a beloved pet but also a skilled working dog, demonstrating her dedication and loyalty every day. Losing her has left a void that cannot be easily filled.

The sudden loss of Kip has left us devastated and grappling with profound grief. It’s a stark reminder of the unpredictability of life and the pain of losing a cherished member of our family. Our hearts ache knowing that Winnie and I will never have the pleasure of seeing Kip again.

As we mourn Kip’s passing, we take solace in the memories we shared and the love she brought into our lives. Though she may no longer be with us physically, her spirit and presence will forever remain in our hearts. Fly high, dear Kipper, and may you find peace and joy in the heavens above. ??

This is Ayla, a tiny pup of just 2.5 months old when Krista found her. Words fail to capture the immense suffering she endured: starvation, mange, and shivering as she crawled on the ground.

Krista wasted no time in rushing Ayla to the veterinarian. The clinic check revealed the extent of her poor health; it was evident that she had ingested a stone, likely due to a calcium deficiency, leading to malformation in both her front legs. This forced Ayla to drag herself along the ground, causing severe abrasions and harm over time.

Currently, Ayla is under intensive care at the hospital, where medical professionals are doing everything in their power to heal her. Recovery may be a lengthy process, possibly up to three months, but with dedicated care, there is hope for improvement. Thankfully, X-rays showed no fractured bones, offering a glimmer of hope for her ability to walk again.

In addition to medical treatment, Ayla has also been taken for sunbaths and provided with nourishing meals. Though she still struggles with itching from mange, Ayla’s spirits are uplifted, and she remains a resilient and brave patient throughout her ordeal.
