<<BACK
 Before I went to the Rainbow Bridge, I was known as Outlaw, a senior dog who had a rough life, roaming neighborhoods, infrequent meals, a second home at Animal Control. I always felt older than my years, with no stable home or loving family to keep up with my needs. Toward the end I had a hard time walking, and roaming was just a distant memory.
My journey took me out of Montana and into Wyoming (this was the last time I would “roam”). Everyone I came in contact with kept saying that there was a special lady in Wyoming with a soft spot for seniors and a soft bed for my tired 'ol body. Well, they were right !! My foster “angel”, Kathy, kept me by her side nearly every second for the last four months of my life...worried about this, worried about that…you just have to wonder why she cared so much about an old dog like me, one who no one else would want to adopt. Whatever the reason, I was lucky to have such a wonderful foster home, with an angel watching over me all the rest of my days.
Now don’t go gettin’ all choked up on me, I’m not trying to make you feel sorry for me. I really was one of the lucky ones. Some dogs don’t ever get the chance to enjoy the warmth of a fire, the touch of a kind human hand running down the length of your back, a sense of security or meals at regular times….but I finally got all those things. Kathy had truly rescued this poor old soul and gave me more in four months than I had had in my lifetime. Love you Kathy !
