Well it sure is cold this morning. It was 27* when we got up and let the fur babies out. Breakfast is over and all the girls are resting in their beds with flashes of treat bones dancing in their heads.
No, Sarah is not going to like the cold at first, but she will have a buddy with a thick fur coat to help keep her warm and I am sure Dan and Lori will have a nice warm coat for her when she goes outside.
Sue and I are going to meet Dan and Lori's daughter Jenni at Fort Chiswell, Virginia campground Friday sometime between 12:30 and 1: o'clock to hand off Sarah for her trip to her new home. What a Christmas she is going to have with her new family and she will be able to tell Anna how Suzie, Peaches and Izzie are doing. Just three weeks to Christmas Eve and we haven't finished decorating the house yet! Today Sue and I will go into overdrive to get things done so we can enjoy the Christmas season.
There will be some surprises yet to come in January with a big ceremony coming in the spring of 2009 followed by the Old Fella Rally in Ohio in June. The memorial is coming along but it has been postponed until sometime in January to coincide with other news worthy things that are happening. The portrait of Old Fella is on its way and will be a part of the memorial and will be on display at the Burke County Public Library. Old Fella will be in news this coming year with many events going on because of his life and what was accomplished in his name.
Sue and I look back at the past three years and see all that has happened because of one old black stray dog that stole everyoneโs heart and changed a community as well as touching the heart of a Nation. This coming year will be Old Fellaโs year, itโs too bad he didnโt live to see it. But for all of us who have fallen in love with him and all that he stood for will be proud of the coming year and what it will bring not only for him and his memory, but for every โVery Old Strayโ that is still out there looking for a home.
This Christmas our family will be able to celebrate the joy of life and the miracle that has taken place in our hearts and in our communities and look forward to a bright future.
