Please keep him...he looks wonderful! Destiny has brought all of you together. There is a reason he has come into your life, and you have come into his.
He now trusts you. IMHO, I would not betray that trust after all that you have been through together. He will adapt and learn, and I know he appreciates the second chance you so generously gave him. I vote - KEEP HIM!

[b]People, people, people. . . . . I [u]agree[/u] that having Old Fellow and Richard stay together would be a fairy tale ending, but my goodness lets not pressure him into it.
He has done so [u]much[/u] for Old Fellow already. I know Richard will find Old Fellow a good home, whether it's his or somebody else's.
I [u]do[/u] like fairy tale endings, however. :W

I do need to hear from the people especially those who donated to Old Fellow's care. I would never want anyone to say that I got these donations and then kept Old Fellow for myself. I appreciate DOTLDaddy's concern about being pressured, but believe me it is not pressure but valued opinions from people that I value very much. But thanks DOTLDaddy for your concern.

Dixie Flyer ... I think no one would feel used or abused if you kept Old Fellow. In fact, I think they'd see that as the best for all because their funds contributed to ensuring Old Fellow had a happy & secure home for the rest of his life. Guaranteed. If you adopt him out, it's not guaranteed.
PLUS ... if he lives with you he'll be able to go camping. And we all know how important camping is! He might even get the odd visit to his old stomping grounds!

Well I was waiting for payday to make my donation, but we getting company again this week...looks like Rita gonna knock at the door early tomorrow...I will get mine sent tho..if it's not needed for the vet, then by all means it should go to whoever adopts OldFella for expenses. But, I like happy endings too...and it's plain to see..he is YOUR new baby Dixie...Good Luck on whatever decision you make. The check will be in the mail when the post office opens back up!!!

Dixie, I am one person that donated. I would feel honored if you kept Old Fellow. Then you can continue to update all of us on him. I nor do I think anyone elses wants to pressure you into keeping him. But I really feel you and him would be much happier with each other. That my dear freind is JMHO.
Take care, do what you feel is best in your heart. God Bless. Please keep us posted on MR. Old Fellow durning this rough time ahead with the heart worm treatments.

I too have been following this but not posted. I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason. Some higher being brought you two together for a reason. It wasn't a coincidence!
It's apparent in all of your messages and most assuredly in the photos that there is a bond there than you cannot break. You need each other and perhaps the reason might not be clear now, but it will.
I don't think that you can or should put this guy up for adoption. He belongs with you. And perhaps you should still write that story for the newspaper but be sure the ending is about how this old fella has found his new "forever home"
with his new best friend! You two are going to build a very strong bond together. He knows what you have done for him and he will never forget!

That thought, I can honestly say, has never crossed my mind.
What do you think Old Fellow's hat size is? :W

Dixie Flyer,
I donated towards Old Fellow's vet bill. Nothing would thrill me more than to know he had a great life with you. I would never think you did all of this due to any selfish motives. Now, maybe I'm being selfish, but I want to see more pictures in the future.![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile") Plus, Old Fellow has already grabbed a piece of your heart! Just keep him & love him & give him a belly rub for me!
