Henry is fantastic- he and Phoebe (Adopted from FOTAS in Jan 2021 fka Sadie Mae) became best buds very quickly! He’s a stately old gentleman who just needs lots of love while he lives out the rest of his life in the lap of luxury with the best food and creature comforts. He requires a (cloth) diaper because he leaks a little after being neutered and also came with a pesky ear infection, but vets at Aiken Animal hospital have taken good care of him!
Both Phoebe and Henry are not fans of being away from mom (ever) when at home 🙈🤣🙈
Our life revolves around our two fur babies now that Bill and I are empty nesters!
He is anxious in car (probably from trauma of being dumped off somewhere) so he likes to cuddle next to Phoebe.
