Maisie is beautiful. I would enjoy every moment you have with her. Lots of love and cuddles. Keep her on the kidney food, as it has been scientifically proven to help with prolonging life in dogs with kidney disease. Monitor her for worrying signs such as lethargy, anorexia, vomiting, increased urination, and weight loss. If you see any of those signs, take her into the vet. Best of luck.
