Allyson has just experienced an unimaginable loss of her beloved mother, Marylou Crabtree, who was not only her last remaining parent but also her closest friend and greatest source of strength. With Marylou's passing, Allyson has stepped into a new chapter marked by deep grief, sudden responsibility, and the emotional weight of managing a household full of memories. In the wake of this loss, Allyson has been balancing two households to take care of Marylou’s many beloved pets, each one a part of Marylou’s legacy of love and compassion. From dogs and cats to birds and fish, Allyson is now the sole caretaker of these animals, ensuring they continue to receive the warmth and attention they always had. This transition comes with emotional, physical, and financial challenges.
