Fred

Not Flintsone or Mertz...Fred the dog. A yellow lab. My parents dog. My dog. We got Fred at a time in my life that was awful. Fred loved me. Fred was dependable when everything was not. Fred was always there to go for a walk...to swim with...to run and play with... Now Fred is getting old and slowing down. Last night I heard that he was not doing so well..he could not put his paw down. In a dog who is 13 that can be a big issue...

So at the vet today my mom called me. He tore his ACL. It is being repaired Friday morning. I know he is 'just a dog' but I love him. So if you have any good thoughts to spare for Fred please think them for my wonderful dog.. Who will always be a perky puppy in my heart?
