In Memory of Miss Dumplin ❤️
Yesterday we said goodbye to our beloved clinic cat, Miss Dumplin.
She came to us in February 2022 after being surrendered in very poor condition. Through procedures, treatments, daily medications, and ongoing support, thanks to Dr. Burch and the dedication of our team she got to enjoy some extra years she may not have otherwise had. Every extra birthday, nap in the sun, and treat she enjoyed felt like a victory, and we’re grateful for every moment we got with her.
Affectionately known as Dumpy or Dump Truck, she was known by our staff for her big personality. In past years, she was incredibly feisty and made it very clear how she felt about veterinary care. Most things required sedation and a lot of patience, but she kept us laughing and always kept us on our toes. She wasn’t exactly known for greeting clients in the lobby- she preferred to stay in her own bubble behind the desk or in the doctors office.
As she got older, she started to slow down and became much sweeter. She required multiple daily medications, monthly pain injections, and plenty of extra care to keep her comfortable. In her final months, Dr. Gomez welcomed her into her home as her health declined.
Miss Dumplin celebrated her 17th birthday just last month. While saying goodbye was incredibly difficult, we are grateful we were able to give her love, comfort, and a family for the last chapter of her life.
We’ll miss seeing her beautiful blue eyes watching us around the clinic and hearing all the stories that started with, “Remember when Dumpy…”
In true Dumpy fashion, she spent her final day snuggled up in her bed and enjoying some of her favorite treats: Churus, whipped cream, Cheez-its, and shrimp, surrounded by the people who loved her most.
Rest easy, our sweet girl. 🌈🐾
