Re: A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
Keep things going. I read regularly and am a strong supporter of animal welfare and rescue. We need more leaders like Dixie Flyer. Just think of the good that has been done, and will continue to be done, because one single person stepped up. The rest of us who think "I'm just one person" - remember this. Thanks Dixie Flyer!

Well, everyone. I've been following the thread almost since the beginning. I'm sorry I can't make the big contribution, but maybe the following will help the cause for Old Fella's soul brothers and sisters. ********* Why Adopt an Older Dog? One by one, they pass my cage, Too old, too worn, too broken, no way. Way past his time, he can’t run and play. Then they shake their heads slowly and go on their way. A little old man, arthritic and sore, It seems I am not wanted anymore. I once had a home, I once had a bed, A place that was warm, and where I was fed. Now my muzzle is grey and my eyes slowly fail. Who wants a dog so old and so frail? My family decided I didn’t belong, I got in their way, my attitude was wrong. Whatever excuse they made in their head Can’t justify how they left me for dead. Now I sit in this cage where, day after day, The younger dogs get adopted away. When I had almost come to the end of my rope, You saw my face, and I finally had hope. You saw through the grey, and the legs bent with age, And felt I still had life beyond the cage. You took me home, gave me food and a bed. And shared your own pillow with my poor tired head. We snuggle and play, and you talk to me low. You love me so dearly, you want me to know. I may have lived most of my life with another, But you outshine them with a love so much stronger. And I promise to return all the love I can give To you, my dear person, as long as I live. I may be with you for a week or for years, We will share many smiles, you will no doubt shed tears. And when the time comes that God deems I must leave, I know you will cry and your heart, it will grieve. And when I arrive at that Bridge, all brand new, My thoughts and my heart will still be with you. And I will brag to all who will hear Of the person who made my last days so dear. -Author Unknown ********* All the best to all of you.

Hello everyone. I wish someone would get ahold of the Animal Planet on TV and let them tell the story. Seems like Old Fella is due a little time in the spotlight. I'd like to contact them, but I don't know how to really get their attention. Maybe if enough of us emailed them????? Ned329Views0likes0Comments
