My boy would have been 17 years old today.

 

We never really knew his "real" birthdate - he was a stray with no tats who was found November 28 so we made that his birthday. The vet said he was about 2 years old.

Mary, Freddie has always been my favorite Greytalk dog. He still is.

From Wisconsin -- It's Nancy, Bob, Carla, June Bug and our newby Skorch.... along with Buffy. She's the little hound that meows.

With loving memorials to K.C., Barko and Major Turn -- all playing at the bridge.

Your story about talking to Freddie to help him get over his fears, and his response to you literally changed my life. I took that story to heart, and when Festus was confused, and sad, and stuck in his crate for weeks after he first came home, I thought of you and Freddie, and I talked to Festus. Like Freddie, he understood me when I said he was home forever and never would be scared or without a family. He was my best friend til the day he died.

 

When I brought home Gypsy for good (she's lying here on the couch with me), she was scared to death. Skittish and terrified of every sound and movement. I thought of Freddie and I talked to her. Told her how happy I was that she was finally home, and that we would be her family forever. She sleeps with me, follows me around, and trusts me implicitly. (Today I cut her hair with the clippers. She LET me. We all thought it would send her completely round the pipe.)

 

Freddie made a difference. He changed the world for some scared dogs. I always think of Freddie when I encounter people who have scared or skittish dogs. I tell them his story, and say, "Talk to your dog. Tell him how much you love him, and that you will always be there for him." And they either do, or they don't. I don't usually know, as it's a personal thing to have that conversation with your dog. But I like to think that he continues to change lives. And save lives.
