Last night as the thunderstorms rolled though Old Fella slept like a baby. When we have these storms I often think about his spending five years in that campground as a stray frightened by the storms and no where to go except just lay down somewhere in the woods until it passed over. It's no wonder he loves his home and family with everything he went through. He is such a loving animal an so gentle it amazes me that someone didn't put in more of an effort to catch him and give him a home, but then we wouldn't have such a nice Old Fella would we?
His teeth are now clean and his gums are healthy as well as the rest of his body. Dr. Jim says Fella is in great shape and should be ready to greet everyone at Branson in June. I don't know if Suzie will be able to make the trip, we will have to wait and see. It takes us a day and a half to get to Branson from Waynesboro. That means Suzie would be on meds during that time without much if anything to eat or drink, I don't know if its worth it or not, seems to me to be a hard way to go for her. We still have two months yet and a miracle can happen so we will wait and see.
In just a little while the posts will hit 10,000. It has been a long journey for some of the animals involved in this thread. We have had animals rescued and shipped across country, a rescue started with many animals being adopted in here in Burke County. I have watched four puppies come and grow into our hearts like Anna, Dixie, Savannah and Suzie and then watched as they went to their forever homes. I have laughed, cried, rejoiced and mourned at some of the events of the past two and one-half years. But in all it has been a wonderful journey, one that has made me far more richer than I have ever been in my life. Thank all of you for making us part of one big family that keeps on growing everyday. Love is a four letter word that brings hearts together and knits them into a blanket that covers all of our fears and sorrows and brings peace to all who are covered by it's grace. Thank you for being a part of that blanket that brings joy to all who come under it's cover. God bless each and everyone of you.

Glad to hear Richard and Old Fella are feeling better, and that Cinnamon is progressing toward recovery! Hope everyone that's sick gets better soon, and also hope those that aren't sick manage to avoid catching the stuff that's going around.

So Glad to hear everyone seems to be doing much better. Joel great to hear Cinnamon is coming right along. This has by far been the best thread on the Forum. Keep the stories and updates coming.

Buzz-ette I was looking at the photo album of the first Old Fella Rally in Branson and saw your and Bill's pictures. I intend to bring the album to the rally in June for all to see. I wish it were different for you and that you could join us. We will remember you and Bill at the rally as part of a special time and place that has left us with good memories. God bless you. We send you our love
I'm proud to post on page 1000!
So glad to hear that Old Fella is doing well.
Cinnamon has been up and around a bit since yesterday. She doesn't seem to be in any pain to speak of, but then again with a 60mg dose of Morphine, I'd hope not! She goes out and does her thing, and has been eating normally since yesterday morning. The stitches are staying closed which is a concern because the incision is in a 'tight' area behind her right shoulder. Overall I'm pleased with her progress and look forward to a complete recovery.
Best wishes to all fur babies!

Glad to hear you're feeling better, Richard. Bless Old Fella, he sure has had a time of it. My prayers go to all of you (furkids, included) who have, and are, facing health problems. I don't post often, but I keep up with ya'all daily.

Today as Sue and I walked Fella and Suzie you could tell he is very happy and proud. Dr. Jim made a comment when I picked him up after his teeth were cleaned. "You sure are lucky that old dog found you and took you in. You were both made for each other."
