It has been overwhelming to see the kindness and caring of so many people who have responded to Tootles passing. It means so much! I've received so much love from friends, family and my other precious dogs. Here are Muffy and Kipper who have given me lots of snuggles and they also miss their best play buddy. Sending gratitude!

Thank you everyone who sent prayers up for precious little Tootles! Sometimes prayers are not answered the way we want but last night it became quite obvious that her decline was causing her great pain. I may never know what all was going on with her little body but her veterinarian and I tried everything we could to help her rally. She would cry if I literally was not walking around with her. It was obvious that the prayer for her was the gift of setting her free from her pain. That precious feisty girl being consumed by pain was beyond horrible. Tootles health issues were a reflection of the irresponsible puppy mill industry that breeds dogs that have health issues like her liver shunt and her wonky little legs etc.It was a gift for me to have her in my family as there was never a boring moment when she was around. Thanks to everyone here for being a part of her life! Her canine Family members will miss how much she played with them all. I'm going to post several pictures and videos that represent this special girl. It's going to be weird walking around my house without her attached to my pants. We lost our Schnauzer boy, Sammy, in April and I'm sure they are running free and happy over that rainbow bridge. My heart is truly breaking but I know the memories will be mostly full of laughter. I'm forever grateful to national mill dog rescue for saving her and for giving her the necessary liver surgery that gave her these last year's of feeling great. I was the adoption manager when she was rescued and I got a call about this Maltese that needed a staff of six because she was so demanding. Never did I realize that would be me and my other dogs. I know she wrapped her way around many peoples hearts. Here's to the love we get from our Canine family members! Rest in peace my angel!

Tootles is having a very hard time pulling out of her weakness. We are trying everything to help her to become her happy joyful self again. She could use your prayers. Her brother, Harry, often sits beside her and I know it gives her comfort. Thanks! Tootles mom.

For the first time in many days, I felt like basking in the sun and going down to the pond. I scared my mom because I'm still very wobbly. She watches me like a hawk but I like that too. Do you see the big Koi?

Thank you all! The vet called mom and said I didn't have Pancreatitis. Whew! She thinks it is probably gastritis. I sure don't feel good but mom is watching me very closely and helps me if I whine just a little. I hate feeling so bad. Sleeping seems to help me the most so I'm going back to sleep. Thanks and keep the prayers coming because I still can barely walk and ........

Tootles spent the weekend in my lap under the heating pad and is quite miserable when she tries to walk or even stand. We have a vet appointment today but she sure could use prayers, positive energy and good thoughts.

I haven't been feeling very good because of my hurt leg. Kipper loves playing with me and doesn't understand why I can't play. One video is kipper trying to get me to play. Mom told him I couldn't play so he then started licking my ear. It was slobbery but made me feel loved? ❤️ sorry it is so dark.......🐾🐾🐾

My silly, snuggly, funny, playful brother Sammy crossed the Rainbow bridge tonight in his sleep. Mama says he had a bad heart condition for 3 years and we were so lucky he felt good and was so happy. I'm especially going to miss snuggling with him...... National Mill Dog Rescue saved him in 2007. I'll miss you,Sammy!
