oh you guys are bringing tears to my eyes!!!!! when i think of my dear Scrubber!!!! he never left my side!!!!! never!!! never!!!!i could tell story after story of him...(i lost him at 19!!!)
he and his golden friend "maynard" used to follow our trucks 2 miles to the end of the dirt road that our farm was on....we would be leaving early in the a.m. to go to our one day horse shows...like 5:00 a.m....we would turn onto the main drag and we'd see maynard and scrubber stop and sit,watching us....it didn't matter if we got back at 10:00 p.m. that night...they would be in the same spot where we saw them last....to this day,i don't know if they left their spot all day or not,but as soon as they heard our trucks coming up the hill they would stand and start running toward the barn,racing the trucks...till we arrived in the driveway...they'd watch us unload and put the horses to bed...then we'd take them to our homes,where they had a nice hot meal and a soft bed to lie on...(this was in tewksbury,n.j.and it didn't mstter if it was snowing) they always waited in the same place for us!!!
i don't have an icon for tears,but i am sobbing now just thinking of him....though i love deli with all my heart...and i am her pet human now....Scrubber was my first born!!! i'll always love him so deeply!!!!
