9/12/14: Well we found our my tumor was cancer and growing every day. It was getting so large I could hardly walk and I was in a lot of pain. So after a big meal of burgers, nuggets, fries and a milkshake Miss Jean held my paw while I crossed the rainbow bridge. I’m free of all pain, neglect and abuse. Do not be sad for me and sometimes you are only meant to play a part in our lives for a small time. I left your world knowing I was loved and cared for. Thank you so much for that. Dublin
8/31/14: Feeling a bit stronger and getting around much better. However I have this large fatty tumor on my right shoulder and it is causing my leg to hurt. I will be going to the vet on Tuesday so see if anything can be done.
My new name is Dublin and I am a senior fellow probably around ten years old. I was so miserable I decided to just stand in the middle of the road and wait for a car to come. However it happened the car was being driven by a wonderful lady who realized the bad shape I was in and she picked me up. Immediately we were off to the groomer where the many years of mats were shaved off. They removed so many ticks, fleas and some maggots were also living under there. It is so wonderful to have air getting to my skin and didn’t remember what it was like. Then we were off to the vet where I was vaccinated, heartworm tested (negative), wormed and given treatment for fleas. The vet was wonderful and donated their services to help me. In just one day I had received more love and care than I had known in years. My savior knew she could not keep me because she was going off to collage so she drove me three hours to the collie rescue. By golly things just keep getting better and I have my very own orthopedic bed to lay on with a blanket to keep me warm. How could all this be possible? Maybe I was hit by a car because I surely am in Heaven now. Lee, thank you so very much for stopping that day and taking the time to make a difference in the life of this old fella. My new life started that day.
The love just keeps coming and thank you Jeryl Stoltz, Mary Jane Checchi, Pam Barron, Chris Hillhouse, Nancy Gooding, Rebecca Fox, Kimberlee Rettberg, Carol Lightcap, Anne White, Ann Bishop, Katherine Rahman, Lee Alexander, Deborah Sullivan, Susan Huneycutt and Debbie Olsakovsky for helping with my care.
