Re: A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
This story is of a subject very dear to my heart, that is our "Old Pets" . I am just about ready to make my first tour in my newly aquired motorhome and have been concerned with a pet of mine, an old "Rescued" Poodle. I have 3 small poodles and 2 cats burried along my front fence each in their own New Pine Box and Granite Grave Markers. I got him, "Babe" some 11 or 12 years ago and he at that time had a few years on him. Had to have him shaved to get his hair to where it could be controled. Today he gets me up repeatedly during the night to go outside to do his thing. Another problem is, he does not have a tooth in his head and his tounge hangs out the right side of his mouth. He is quite hard to feed not having any teeth and is quite picky at what he will eat. Human food is a No-No, really messes up his bowel movement. Babe has since my wife passed away 6 months ago been the reason I am not already on the road. I have decided to try and do the RVing with him and would really appreciate good Help/Advice on how to maybe train a dog of his age to use a Pad placed in the Shower of my Motorhome so I could better enjoy it and my trips. I took him on a weekend trip the first of October 2010 and on one of his outside visits around mid-night he wondered off. He was 5 days later brought up to the RV Park gate from somewhere off site. The lady at the gate called me and within 5 minutes I was on my way back to the park to get him. He was so tired and hungry, he never moved all the way back home, I feel sure he spent at least a little time running from the Big Dogs. After that he means even more to me. Any help APPRECIATED.
