Loving my Oldies

After I'd read your tribute to him, I saw what you'd said on the post about where people got their dogs and whether they were happy or not. A very courageous and hard decision you have had to make.

I hope your new little champion will help to ease the sorrow.

Sincere condolences, Kristie. What happened?

The following is an extract from a talk I gave a couple of years ago about PAWS. I was telling the gathering how PAWS came about ....

"A truly wonderful page and a great favourite is the Sultan Memorial Fund page. Through this Fund, people who have lost pets can sponsor one of the dogs looking for a home and put on the website a photograph and dedication to their own pet.

Sultan did, in fact, exist. He was a dog who came into the Pound late in 1999. He had been a guard dog, but now that he was old and sick, he was no longer able to work and thus no longer wanted. He was homed to a wonderful couple who made him very happy for the last couple of months of his life. When he passed away, they emailed us attaching their own website which is all about their own animals and we were able to view pictures of our darling Sultan living out his last weeks in love and comfort and special companionship. You can visit this site on a link from the PAWS site.

Sheila set up the Sultan Memorial Fund to honour this lovely old man and also as an avenue for memorialising all those other creatures who have left our lives but still mean so much to us. "

Rozzie, I don't know if you still have your own website... do you?
