The next morning he was back and was a little more receptive of me. I looked at his injured leg and found that half of his rear foot was gone. It had healed and was not causing any problem except that he was walking on the stub that was left with no foot pad which causes him to limp. His front teeth were gone except for one canine tooth and it looked decayed. His eyes were tired looking and showing his age. He spent the rest of the day just laying around looking for a handout and by afternoon the campground host came around and saw him. I enquired about the dog and was told he had been there for three years and that most of the campers were tolerant of him and gave him food.
So what to do? Do you pick him up and bring him home or do you let nature take it course. He can't harm anyone, he has no teeth and he isn't a nuisance unless you don't like dogs, and no one seems to mind him being there. He is gentle and likes other animals as seen by his interaction with our dog. He still would not let me touch him but he would eat from my hand. Enough said, what would you do???
On June 28th 2008 Old Fella passed away of complications caused by bone cancer. Fella spent almost three years with his new family and became the icon of rescued old stray dogs. He will be greatly missed but his foot prints have been left in our hearts forever.
Now Charlie, the ten year old rescued Golden Lab has come to be a part of the continuing Old Fella story. (*Note, Charlie took his journey to Rainbow Bridge unexpectedly September 30, 2008)Suzie continues to charm her way into our hearts with her antics as she has grown from a puppy into a young lady. Togther they will carry on the Old Fella legacy. Come join us in their daily lives and be a part of the best feel good thread in RV.NET history. The legacy lives on.

So I am staying at Tally East. Used to stay here years ago, but it looks rather unkempt and run down now. I will work for an overnight, though,
Vet called me last night to tell me Brendon's liver enzymes are high (blood work last week). Hmmmm. So we talked about a plan and will get busy on that when we return home.

We really had a good time at Canopy Oaks Resort. It's a really neat place. We are really looking forward to our trip there in November.
From my house, the drive is so nice. No interstates and all back road with very minimal traffic. The drive itself through central Florida is nice.
The pups are all doing fine. Monty is still trucking along for an old man. He still gets around great and looks great.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.

We made it to Canopy Oaks RV resort. This place is really nice. Its about 20 miles to the east of Lake Wales Florida. They have 411 RV sites here. They are really big sites. I could easily get two of my motorhomes on a site and I'm 37' long. Every site is big. Some sites have rock fire pits and a gas grill. There is a deli restaurant on site that makes sandwiches and pizza. They also have really good ice cream. There is also a general store and a huge tiki bar in the middle of a big lake. I didn't even bring the Jeep this time as we don't need to leave. They also have golf cart retails.
ZuZu is really turning into a good traveler. Everyone loves her and she "gets it" now. Her leg is much better but I am still trying to confine her as much as possible. I took Monty to the very large dog park they have here and he got to run around and pee on everything. He is really doing well for 13 years old.
I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend.
