“Chole was adopted in 2012 and she could do no wrong. Her whole job was to love me and she did it flawlessly. Lymphoma took her a months ago (2021) and I still miss her dearly. Georgie was adopted earlier this year (2021) after Chloe’s death. Georgie is a spoiled rotten mess, but a very sweet spoiled rotten mess. She’s the shadow I didn’t realize they were missing. I’ve been blessed with 2 PIP dogs, and I owe the inmates of Hawkins for making them perfect for me.”
