More: Rory is a happy, happy, happy 4.5 year old lab who got her name from Gilmore Girls and goes nowhere without a ball or three in her mouth. She was born with renal dysplasia and was given 2 years to live, at most. While she loves all outdoor activities, swimming (accompanied by her ball, naturally) is her most favorite. She is not afraid to use her voice, especially if dinner has been delayed, or to remind us that she is entitled to near-constant human contact. Rory loves her life - because she was given limited time with us we treat every day like it’s the Best Day Ever.
