Godspeed Little Winston

Winston was a senior Scottie who, like many before him, came to rescue with a sad story.  His long time owner took him into assisted living with her but advancing dementia robbed her of her ability to care for him.  Facing possible medical issues of his own, Winston was surrendered to STRNW.

 

Once in our care, Winston was examined by the staff at South Hill Veterinary Hospital in Puyallup, Washington.  They detected a mass next to his spleen and surgically removed it.  It was a benign cyst but they discovered that his liver contained inoperable cancerous lesions.

 

Winston's condition precluded him from being put up for adoption so he was placed in permanent foster care with two of our members and their three Scotties.  Even though he was hard of hearing and couldn't see much out of his left eye, he happily joined the pack and got about the business of being a Scottie.

 

Winston thrived with his foster family.  He guarded his chew toys, zestfully joined the rub and tickle sessions and was at the front of the line when treats were handed out.  For six months, Winston had the best possible life a Scottie could have; but cancer is a remorseless disease and it finally attacked his small body.  Winston left us on April 29, 2009, cradled in his foster Mom's arms.  We are all heartbroken at his passing but we are also grateful for the time we shared with him and the joy and trust he favored us with.

 

In his memory we have established Winston's Angel Fund to help other Scotties who come into our care.  If you would like to become one of Winnie's Angels you can click here to find out how.
