Hi- My name is Allison Ricketson. My husband Corey and I adopted the 13 year old dog Maggie last year from HOTLR. I just recieved the newsletter today, and read about the passing of Jake. I got to meet Jake when we were adopting Maggie and he was such a sweet dog. I wanted to inform you that Maggie also passed away from natural causes, ironically also on May 4th. Corey and I were out of town for a wedding and my mother-in-law was taking care of Maggie and our other lab, Dixie. Maggie passed away while we were gone, and we never got to say goodbye. She was such a sweet dog and I am so glad that we could give her a good home for that last year of her life. She was always a happy dog, especially at mealtime! We certainly miss her, but we know she is in a better place where she doesn't have arthritic hips or shortness of breath. We are thankful that we had a chance to have Maggie in our lives and we thank HOTLR for that. Thank you. I have enclosed a picture of Corey, me, Maggie and our black lab Dixie.
