I knew the time would come, and this was a very difficult decision to make. I said goodbye to Maude, my dearest oldest dog-friend on April 15, 2026. Maudie had been declining since January with bouts of not eating, not being able to stand, and diarrhea. Even though she was very skinny and fragile, she still was able to get all of the Stinkers to sing. Maudie would start howling in the bedroom and would not stop until alpha Moose chimed in– sometimes this lasted for a couple of hours if Moose was busy.
Maude was one of the sweetest girls. She never fought with other dogs. She was just a princess. I will miss her greatly.
