Sequoia apparently was experiencing some aging issues. He was being treated with medicine and love but apparently, he stopped eating so the preserve had to make the decision to let him go.

We were helping him stay as comfortable as possible with glucosamine for his joints, extra vitamins, extra treats, and lots of love.
