“FRIEND” AND WELL-KNOWN FACE AT VILLAGE MANOR PASSES

  “FRIEND” AND WELL-KNOWN FACE AT VILLAGE MANOR PASSES

Long-time Village Manor resident dog AJ recently passed away. With a laid-back, easy-going personality, she was very easy to like. AJ would leisurely stroll around and greet residents and visitors alike.

Amy Hoch Altwegg, Village Manor Executive Director says, “AJ came to live at Village Manor around May 2003. We were doing some business recognition and had stopped into Abilene Animal Hospital. They said that they had heard that we were looking for a dog. AJ was a ‘dumped dog’...there were about six dogs dumped and one black lab was injured. When animal rescue went to pick them up, all the dogs ran except the injured lab and AJ, who laid right beside him. She was in the kennel and didn’t bark at other dogs...she was very calm. I talked to the residents about her coming here and they said yes. AJ was scheduled to be put down that day. The vet estimated her to be three or four years old when we got her.”

The residents and employees at Village Manor will miss you. Thank you for all of the smiles that you brought us. Rest in peace, AJ.
