Good morning everyone. This morning the sun is shining and the outside temp is 42* and the ground is wet from all the rain. Suzie and Peaches are doing great and enjoying the Christmas season. The pictures of Sarah reminds me of a little dog that was in so much trouble when she came to us and I canโt help but think of her as a frail little girl who needs a lot of TLC. The picture of her in Jenniโs car tells me of her concern about where she was going and where is Richard and Sue? Dan and Lori will make a big difference in her life and when she finally accepts them as her parents she will be fine. She has been through a lot in the last month and this change of homes must have been puzzling to her. But I am sure she will adjust to her new life with Dan, Lori and Anna and when we see her again in April it will be a great reunion.
Well I asked Santa Claus for a bicycle for Christmas and he wanted to know if I had a resume and a list of folks as a character reference. The resume was to let him know if I would qualify as a good bike rider, being courteous on the bike trails and to stop and help the elderly along the way. I told him I would qualify as elderly and that I would be looking for help myself, like someone to help me up the long steep hills when I got tired. He looked at me and said, โMaybe you donโt need a bicycle, you might break a leg or something.โ It reminded me of โYouโll shoot your eye out.โ But anyway I have taken a lot of lessons from Ralphie and am going to watch the movie over and over again just to make sure I get it right, after all Ralphie did get his Red Ryder BB gun and he did almost shoot his eye out, but it all turned into a nice Christmas story with a happy ending.
The Old Fella Memorial is taking shape and hopefully we will have it in January along with the other surprise that is coming. Next year will be the year for Old Fella to be recognized Nationally and to insure his legacy will live on in the hearts of the people. What a wonderful thing for an old dog that lived his life for so many years in obscurity and to emerge as an icon for all the old strays of America. At last his story will be known by many who will cherish his memory and the work that was begun in his name. I thank God I was chosen to be his keeper even if it was for a very short time. Those three years gave me a lot of memories that I will always hold dear as perhaps some of the best of times.
