In adulthood G.S. (upper left corner) became ill a few years ago and it was found he has a mass in his abdomen. The surgery was estimated at $8000, with no guarantees. He was put to sleep in February of 2020. In February of this year (2023) his sister was diagnosed with Irritable Bowl Disease. She was placed on a special diet and given anti-nausea medication. She survived a couple more months, but became increasingly ill at the end of the second month. Not wanting her to suffer any more it was time to let her go. I still have Rosebud (lower left) and her brother Sunshine. Rosebud developed a hyperactive Thyroid. She is on medication twice a day and has been doing very well. Sunshine is just plain grumpy at times and tries to rule the roost.
