[Dailydrool] Another Old Timer

[Kathy Collins]

I've very much enjoyed hearing from other old timers. I wasn't planning
on chiming in as I'm an active lurker.  However, when I saw Reenie
Grant's post, I just had to make a comment.

I joined way back when...when you had to wait on a list to be admitted.
The year was 1997 and I had just gotten Freckles for my son. I was so
thankful for the Drool. It helped us through puppyhood as well as let us
know she was a normal basset with all the crazy stuff she'd do as an
adult.  

I can't begin to express the joy I've shared with people I've never met
in the stories and experiences they share here.  I met a wonderful
friend through Secret Pawtner. Little did I know I would loose my
beloved Doberman weeks after making this new friend. Although she lived
across the country from me, she was so sweet and supportive listening
and helping me through my grief. Helen Hocking, if you read this,
girl...you still mean the world to me!!!

Back to Reenie's post.  She mentions getting Dodger after Cathy B.
posted about him being in a shelter. I too tried to get Dodger.
Unfortunately, Lee and Reenie beat me to the shelter!  I got the courage
up to call Lee and congratulate him on beating me to the dog. Not
knowing the Grants then, I even had the audacity to offer Lee my phone
number in case the adoption didn't work out for them. (Oh yeah, I did.
You that know the Grants are probably having a great laugh about that
right now too). Lee was very nice but truthfully told me Dodge had his
forever home.

I've laughed.  I've cried my heart out at the loss of some of these
precious hounds and people (especially TBO!!). I've met some wonderful
people, who, other than my mother and my husband, seem to be the only
people that truly understand how much the heart can love an animal. So
although I'm only a lurker, I truly appreciate the posts by all and look
forward to my drool every single day.

Bless you all for being such good friends, advisors, and counselors!
