A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}

Got word from Dan and Lori Branson that Anna went to rainbow bridge this afternoon. Anna is Suzie's sister. This coming June Anna would have been 14 years old. She was the very first puppy I rescued. She came from the litter, Savannah. Dixie, Suzie and Anna. That was the summer of 2006.Four little puppies scared to death. Left at a dumpster out in Burke County without food or water. Mrs. Barnes called me and told me about them. She and her husband went with me and stayed until all were safely rescued. Savannah was the last one to be rescued. It was a Sunday afternoon when I got the call Savannah was now in custody and they would wait on me to get to the dumpster and give her to me. It didn't take long for them to get used to the good life. two meals a day. A nice cozy bed with treats and an Air conditioned house to live in and a great big back yard filled with squirrels to chase. They had the best time. It was wonderful to watch them become puppies again. No fear, just all the fun and feeling safe and protected. It was also fun to watch them at night come in and run straight to their kennel where there was a treat waiting for them. They knew which crate was theirs and would run into it, get their treat and settle in for the night. You never heard a sound out of them until the next morning when it was time to let them out. Once the kennel crate was open they would run to the back door and wait for me to open it so they could go outside and play. those were some great days. Old Fella would go outside and supervise them. It seems like it was life time ago and for some it has been. So much has happened since then. So many good memories.
