I feel the same way! If any of you are coming south down I35 in Texas, PM me. I'd love for you to stop by for a glass of wine or whatever suits your fancy. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")
We just met our very first "genuine, live Forum member" last weekend, and it was a delightful experience. Can't wait to meet more of you!
Pets are always welcome, of course.

How is Old Fella with your grandkids. He is so gentle, I am sure he will do very well with them and other children. Hope you have a great time. Let us know how well you do at the casinos.
WE haven't had him around children since he left the campground. But I was told by Nina that Old Fella loved the kids. They were the only ones that he would allow to touch him. I am looking forward to his going as he has learned to be quite the ham, especially around the ladies. He is so totally different since he has been with us, he doesn't meet a stranger. The shyness is gone and the trust is ever so deep.

Just got back from camping with the Ohio Rally clan and Old Fella was one of the topics of conversation. Susanne's article has tears streaming down my face. Everytime Chloe does something goofy or just gets so excited to go on hikes or just rests her head on my shoulder, I cannot even begin to imagine what she went through surviving on the streets in the middle of winter. Nor can I even bear the thought that this loving, gentle, goofy creature was about to be put down. It appears that Old Fella was quite well known about town and that probably has lead to his survival. Please give him a kiss on the top of his head and let him know how lucky he is. And I thank you once again for what you have done.

Just returned from a weekend on the Rogue-Umpqua Divide, looks like everything is going well with Old Fellow. He sure is the Ladie's man, yes? Photo is of turning Vine Maple, Castle Rock Fork.

Dixie Flyer wrote:Old Fella is going on his first camping trip with us October 21st. We are going to Cherokee KOA in Cherokee, NC. This is our annual trip we make with the kids and grandkids. I feel confident he will be fine as he has adapted so quickly. He is a gentleman on the leash, he likes the camper and he travels well. So if any are going to be in Cherokee, NC that weekend be sure and look us up.
He is becoming more and more sociable everyday. He is now seeking my company and he wants his belly rubs. He is beginning to come when he is called, but I don't trust him off the leash just yet. But there is one thing for sure,when he looks at me now there is that I love you look in his eyes. We will stay at the campground thru Sunday and go home on Monday. So be sure to come by and say hello.
Rich,
This has been such a nice heart wrenching saga and such a herculean gesture on you part, I would darn near drive down to your campground on that weekend just to shake your hand and give you a pat on the back for being such a kind and caring person.
I would probably need to mortgage the farm in order to buy the diesel just to get there from Kansas, but it would be about worth it.
My hat goes off to you. You should be in line for some kind of an award for kindness.
Thanks again for sharing your experiences.

Hi All,
Rich wanted me to tell you this story. I am in Albuquerque New Mexico. Some of us wanted to go to church this morning. Well, we found a little church near the campground and we found out what time services were and went. the topic of the sermon was about Old Fella and the out pouring of love for the people that answered the call of help from this net. It was great to see the news is getting around everywhere we go now.

Ok Folks, here are a couple links to campgrounds in Branson MO.
one is to KOA Kampground the other is to ABC campground.
CamperCarl sent an email to KOA checking with them about holding the Rally there also. We will be checking with both for dates, posting dates, and then we can vote on which campground and what dates seem to work best. So far seems everyone is in favor of June which should work with most everyone. ok here are the links.

ABC campground

Thank you everyone for making this possible.
