Wow what a story or should I say stories! I came to the RV Pet Shop forum to look at any posts regarding travelling with your pet as DH and I plan on fulltime RVing as soon as the house sells. I saw the โOld Fellaโ thread, I had never seen so many pages to one post on any forum so I just had to check it out! I have spent most of the last 4 days reading each day until my eyes would say, no more reading! It was a like a book that you just canโt lay down. As lots on here have stated, an emotional roller coaster, laughing, crying, praying, and sitting on the edge of your seat waiting to see what the outcome was. I was lucky I could just keep reading but still was on the edge of my seat reading as fast as I could to see what happened. When I left the forum, I couldnโt wait to get back to do some more reading.
I cannot say anything that has not been said already regarding the love and respect that Richard has for animals and people, and also the rest of you that post here. I suspect that none of you, least of all Richard, could have predicted how his first question could have mushroomed to create such a fantastic outcome. I still will go back and read more of Richardโs stories as I skipped some along the way, just wanted to find about Old Fella, Richardโs plans on the shelter, rallies, dog transporting and the stories of otherโs who post on this forum.
Five of our dogs came from shelters and we could write a story regarding what each one meant to us, how they turned into fantastic companions after some love, attention and of course training. As someone stated in this thread, shelter dogs come with baggage and some unwanted behaviours that can usually be turned around with some trust, love and understanding. I must say none of the stories would come close to Richards. Richard, you have a wonderful gift there!
Well folks I think this is getting too long! Take care God Bless you all. Will keep praying for all here, especially at their times of loss, sickness and other trials. Stay safe and have a Happy and healthy 2008!
Richard, I sure pray that your plans come through the way you want them to happen!
Will check back everyday I can from now on to keep up.
