My 16 year old had to be put down last month. Before he would let me adopt him it took 3 visits to the shelter before he would trust me. The third trip I went without my wife and brought a leash and took him for a short walk. That was enough for him to trust me a little. I think about him every day. Just last night it was 5 PM and I was about to ask my wife if she fed him. He is our second rescue dog. I have been looking online at area shelters. I have seen a couple that I would like to go meet but it’s too soon for my wife.
I love it. There is a book by Sam Watkins about the Civil War “Co. Aytch First Tennessee Regiment”.
