Fawzia returned yesterday from a holiday in the US and brought news and photos of Mandy & Snoopy. They were our dogs who were given to Miriam when Fawzia left the US about 10 years
ago. Miriam lives near Washington, DC.
Here's Miriam with Mandy and Snoopy. Miriam was a History professor in Arkansas but now lives in DC near her parents.
The dogs must be close to 15 years old. Their health isn't good, and Snoopy had back surgery recently, which cost US$5,000, and enormous amount by any standard.
Here's Mandy. She appears to have lost the black and tan patches she had and seems to have become entirely white.
But they look and seem to be very healthy at that age!

Meedy,
ReplyDeleteMeriam takes very good care of them. In fact, it's mutual. Mandy and Snoopy have been very supportive, in their own way, of Miriam thru the ups and downs of her life.
I was also told that some health procedures for Mandy cost US$1,500. Pets become expensive as they get older.
