A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}

I usually walk in the evenings just before dark with a pocket full of milk bones. The dogs in my neighborhood usually spot me about 1/2 block away. Some start barking while others just get really excited. I have one that comes up to me and just rubs up against me, her name is Maggie and she is a Golden Retriever. Such a sweet heart as she sits for her treat. What is sad is she is 13 years old and has cancer in her blood vessels and a big growth on her back just in front of her tail. There is nothing they can do for her since she would not survive being sedated. When she sees me coming she breaks into a pretty good run. My other close buddy is Struts a bird dog, he will start barking and howling when he sees me a block away. Such a character, he always demands 2 treats unless I miss a day then it's three. Got a Chocolate Lab who runs up to me then she sits and holds out her paw for a shake and her treat. Then there is Peaches, a little mix who runs really fast to me for her treat and ear rubs. There use to be an old Horse in the field that would come up to me and give me a nudge for his carrot, then he would put his head down and sniff my dog while Rocky sniffed him back. We lost him a few months ago due to old age.

I actually contribute what I do to this website, I have followed from day one. I have some pictures of Maggie and the old Horse but can't figure out how to post from my phone to here. Next time I'm around my Grand daughter I'll get her to show me how.

I've got a few stories I'll post later on rescuing some dogs in Yuma, AZ during our Winter trips.
