Eleanor ‘Ellie Mae’ Mayhem Mulquin came into our lives at the perfect time almost 10 years ago. A service dog, sure. A family member, for certain. The loss of her presence has been thick this past week. Thank you to those that have reached out, shared, and consoled. It has been overwhelming. My heart goes to all of those who are missing a loved one this Christmas season, human or not.
Ellie sadly passed away Saturday night. She had a splenic mass rupture. 10+ years, she’s helped bring the best out of me. Not just a service dog, but a part of my heart and healing.
A look back at her introduction on Quinn’s Next Step.
