Guest Houndmama Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I too am deeply saddened by the passing of such a dear sweet spirit from this earth. I have always followed Old Fella's story, having visited and forwarded the website update pages regularly. I feel as if I have lost one of my own. Old Fella brought our larger community together in love and compassion as he graced our lives with his presence. He was an angel; of that I have no doubt. Cheryl, ,you and your family were blessed to have been able to love and adore him in his last days. He couldn't have had greater stewards. I am so sorry for the loss and grief that you are surely feeling now. Know that you gave him more love and care in the year and a half that you had him, than he had likely ever had in his prior 13 years on this planet. Also remember that the bonds of love you share with him cannot be broken by space and/or time. He will never leave your sides. Above all, I am grateful that you were there when he needed you most. Because you were there, he left his body knowing that it was a safe thing to do. Take solace in that fact. Bless you for sharing his life story with us. Bless us all for opening our hearts to him. We are all greyter for the experience of knowing him. Fare thee well, sweet Old Fella. May your spirit fly so free as you run with the wind at the Rainbow Bridge.

Guest seniorgreymom Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 some Texas roses for our Texas boy's family. You made up for all the cruelty that he had faced and gave the best home he could have had. Y'all are truly wonderful and "surely goodness and love follow you all the days of your life" (Ps 23:6a) For Old Fella, I know you will have lots of these to nibble on and lots of sweet grass and sunshine while you wait for your heart family to catch up. Run free sweet boy, stretch those legs and show the youngsters how to fly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhoundlov Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I know that the short time you had with Old Fella was the best time he had in his life. I wish it had been longer, but evidently God needed him now. Blessings to you and your family for the wonderful home you provided for him. It was such a privilege to know this grand old man as well as to meet you and your daughter. Quote Mary in Houston Everyone has a photographic memory, but not everyone has film.

Tracey Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I was so sad to see this. Thank goodness, though, that Old Fella had so many months of good memories to replace the awful ones with. His story has touched so many and I know he will never be forgotten. My condolences to everyone who knew and loved him. Run free, Old Fella.

keiko Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Cheryl, I am so sorry for your loss. Old Fella was such a wonderful boy. I will treasure meeting him at Majic's birthday party and feeding him shrimp! Along with the several pictures I took of him that day. What a wonderful soul who touched so many in his short time with us. God speed Old Fella.....

I am so sorry that he has passed but thankful that he was loved so much after his ordeal. I will read through the rest of the posts later when I can cry in private. Farewell sweet "Old Fella" your story has touched our hearts in so many ways and we are thankful that we were all made a part of your life. May you find much peace and joy across the Bridge.
