I'm thinking of you as you are bringing your little Holly back home. You and Martini will need to love on each other in the days ahead.

Both our pets (one cat, one dog) are seniors. We know how incredibly fortunate we are that they are healthy so far. Your journey with Holly is a stark reminder of how quickly things can change. She was lucky to have such a caring human.
