Have to tell this. We stopped at Walmart, were eating dinner, when we noticed 2 young boys trying to control a small dog. A lot of traffic, they were quite the heroes. As we watched, we could see they had water for the dog, but no bowl. So Bill walked over with a paper bowl. He didn't come back and he didn't come back. Here is the story. The boys were trying to protect the dog from the traffic, people kept stopping to see what was going on. Someone did call the dog shelter. All this time there was a lady sitting in the dirt, holding the dog. giving it water from her hand. As it turned out, the lady was from Toledo, Ohio. Since November, she and her husband have been "Riding the Rails". Her husbands $30.00 an hour job went away, they decided 'Heck with it', they would just take off for a while. She had a great smile, beautiful blue eyes, with tears in them for this pooch. When the Shelter lady got there, she "Cricket" knew what was going to happen. She just could not let that happen. They are going to stay around here for 3 days, if no one claims the pooch, they will take it with them, ridin' the rails, back to Toledo. Cricket told us she would name the pooch "Loosie". We gave her one of our Bluebird Cards, hoping she will keep in touch. Oh yes, Cricket has breast Cancer.
Anyone want to know why we love this life we are leading? There are wonderful people like this ALL OVER AMERICA, and we hope we keep meeting them.
