This morning everything is well with the family. Charlie, Suzie, Izzie, Sue and myself are looking forward to having a productive day. I will cut grass and wash the camper while Sue goes to pick blue berries. Suzie is worried about what toy she is going to chase after while Charlie tries to figure out where the tennis balls have been hiding. Izzie is just going to be a cat and do whatever cats do during the day, mostly sleep and allow us to live in his house.
I look around the house and see places where Old Fella should be only to be reminded he has taken his journey to Rainbow Bridge where he awaits our arrival. Charlie has helped us move forward with our lives and I believe Fella would be happy with our choice.
The memorial fund is growing but still has a ways to go before we can start with any plans as to what the memorial will look like. I do hope that we are able to place something in the park that truly expresses our love for this great old dog and what he represents to not only this community but to all of us who have been touched by his life.
Old Fella's courage and strong will to live was exemplified in the life he lived. His great love for his family carried him beyond what most would have endured. I realize now how much pain he was in the last few weeks of his life, but he did not want to leave us and that alone sustained him. We have been left with some beautiful memories of an old black dog that came our way and for a brief moment touched our lives and changed us for the better.
