    Poor old guy, if I were closer, I'd go pull him.

    It happens a LOT. I can't tell you the number of old dogs I have seen at the shelters in the same situation. In fact, I have one living in my boarding kennel right now.

    I told my husband when all the dogs we have now die, we won't be getting anymore. He didn't understand why. I told him by the time our two puppies die of old age, we will probably be getting ready to retire. I don't want to be faced with the situation of wondering what happens to my dogs.

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    Poor old guy. he probably wonders what the heck happened?

    I went to PetsMart Saturday & they were having dog adoption day at
    the store. Cages were lined up outside the main entrance. There was
    one older Rat Terrier type dog in a cage by herself & the sign said her
    family home had be lost to the recent floods we have had. She was UTD
    on all shots, HW negative & spayed. It also said she was 4 yrs old,
    but looked a little older than that. It was heartbreaking but I had to grit my
    teeth & keep on walking. I so wish I had more money or a bigger house,
    I swear I'd adopt them all.
