A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}

We have enjoyed our visit here in Colorado especially the folks who came to the rally. It was so funny yesterday when we had company. Sue was busy fixing food for the rally supper while company came to visit with Old Fella. It got a little crowded in the camper so I put Levi behind closed doors so that he wouldn't hog up all the attention. Levi was sick, so you could hear him having a blow out behind the door and then came the smell of fresh, well you know. The funny part was no one wanted to let on as to what was happening with Levi so the exchange of small talk continued with Old Fella. Sue was so embarrassed with the company hearing and smelling the big event but like the trooper she is she just continued on as if nothing was happening.

Now our guest wasn't going to say "I think your dog is $#@%*(&^%$ behind the door" so they just ignored the obvious and went about as nothing was amiss. I can just hear their conversation as they left riding down the road. "Boy did you hear that and could you smell that??

I had to clean up the mess while Sue gave me some advise on how to handle a sick dog while company is in the house or camper. "yes dear, I know dear it wasn't the best impression."

So I apologize to the company that came by to pay their respects to the Daniels house hold, I say respects because you must have thought someone or something had died several days ago and was left to rot in the camper and I mostly appreciate your kind post to the thread without mentioning the above episode. I just hope you enjoyed dinner later on that evening without any ill effects of your visit with us.

With that being said I will close now fully expecting to be among the missing. It was a nice life and I hope all will remember me with kindness and not blame Sue for the act she is about to commit upon reading this post.

:o:B Aside from Levi being ill (I know how serious the "pet folks" here are....) this post made me laugh out loud. The perfect example of "The Elephant in the Room" scenerio!!!!

Rich, you are a master at taking things as they come, remaining calm, and just trusting that things will work out.

I'm glad the rally went well and that Old Fellow got to receive the affection from all his fans that were there. :)

This truly is the best thread on the Forum.
