| Dear old
Gage arrived at A.A.R.F.F. on a cold sunny day way back on March 13,
2004. He was estimated to be ~13 yrs old. He quickly became known as
Grandpa, The Ancient One, and Father Time.
(That's him, right,
lounging in his spiffy purple jacket in one of the AARFF dog cabins.) |
 |
| With age
comes wisdom. He could often be seen giving discreet advice to the new
comers. At Camp Charlie, right, he reminded us that he was really something back in the day. |
 |
| Grandpa
loved everyone who visited him at AARFF. Here he is, right, with Lara
demonstrating his lapdog skills. |
 |
| And then one day, Lori, one of our wonderful volunteers, took Grandpa home to foster over the winter (with son, Ben, right). Like every AARFF dog who goes to Aunt Lori’s, Gage absolutely loves it there. He especially enjoys visiting with his former AARFF pals. |

picture of the Magnificent 10 – Aunt Lori’s (mostly AARFF) dogs,
volunteer John’s (mostly AARFF) dogs and a couple of AARFF fosters.
Oh…and little humans Sara and Ben in the background! And what do you think happened?? Yep, Aunt Lori & family have officially adopted dear old Gage! |
 |
Grandpa happily bunks with Ben and Sara every night. (Me thinks they’re going to have to get a bigger bed!) |
 |
| Gage wants
you to always remember that dreams really do come true. Thank you, Lori!
Congratulations Grandpa – we love you!
Right with Sara, Ben, and AARFF rescues who were also adopted by Lori and her (very) patient husband! |
