Adopting New Fur-Family Members !! Today we celebrate the adoption of two new fur-kids. It is a very interesting story how this all came about. After the loss of our Skyla, Duchess fell right into senior mode more than ever. Duchess began showing more signs that the 10 years she's lived is getting her a bit tired.
