I just got off the phone with Susanne and the thread will live on just as it is so that you may continued to be updated as to Old Fella and his family and post your comments. Just to let you know there is an agreement with Susanne for a percentage of the book sales go to a shelter of my choice for animal rescue.

Well, my 2¢ worth is, I honestly don't see a book's worth of material here. A wonderful, heartwarming magazine article, yes. As someone said, just the kind of thing Reader's Digest likes to run. But a BOOK with many pages? Background on Rich and the dog and everybody involved? Well, not for me to say, but I sure don't want anymore stress put on the dear heart who made this story possible.

I've followed this thread from the beginning and I would be very disappointed if this thread were to close. I feel we are all a part of this story and I would hate to lose contact with (Dixie Flyer) Rich and Old Fellow so someone can write a book. I agree with Kelly, this thread should not have any effect on the sale of such a book. I've looked forward to Old Fella updates...Barb

welllll...to be honest...I would not like to see the thread pulled either...but it is Rich's decision...his intention was to get O.F. to a vet and get him taken care of regardless of the cost. He had no idea the vet would help with the cost and he had no idea any of us would be willing to help financially. He just went out and did it! It is actually his story and I for one will go along with his decision.

Thanks for the update Rich! I didn't mean to stir up trouble, it just hit me wrong and I tend to be pretty vocal when I have an opinon. I'm very glad to know that there is a percentage of the sales that will go to the shelter of your choice too. I'm anxious to see what Susanne writes and will support her and the book knowing that it will benefit other animals out there like Old Fella. I like the idea of giving it as a gift alot! With so much ugliness in the world these days it is heartwarming to know that there are still good people out there.

But it could sure make a heck of a movie. I don't mean Disney either. Romance and Trash. Old Fellow will be wealthy beyond his wildest dreams!!!

I sat down and discussed the book with Dixie Dew, the mighty Schnauzer. It sorta went like this:
A nice lady is going to write a book about 'Old Fella'. (She thinks the new spelling is COOL)
"Oh, Mama, that means he is going to be famous and rich, Mama, he will be RICH!!!
Then he can take me to the pet store and buy me chew bones and collars and a new ball...and we can go eat spaghetti like Lady and the Tramp..Oh, Mama, it is wonderful..soo romantic."
But, Dixie, you have never met him.
"I will when you take me to the Old Fella Rally next summer. I have to get there before that beagle, 'Happy', gets there. Did you see her picture? What about that "come-hither" look she was giving 'Old Fella' over her shoulder. She is a TART, Mama, nothing but a TART!!!
"Can we go, Please?"
Do you see what you have started, Rich.
