I have an interesting feature that I wanted to mention - the new Old Friends section!!! Many people have the situation where they have a dog which can't be bred or do anything much because it's elderly on Furry paws, but they love the dog and don't want to get rid of them. I have a solution! Send your dog to my kennel! I will get it locked and I will NEVER sell them, and I'll lock them so that they can live on the Furry Paws site forever! This idea was inspired by the real Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary.
This kennel is dedicated to Pookie Boy, a lovely English Springer Spaniel. He had such a sweet personality! I loved him as if he were mine. He died just a few years ago. Even though I only saw him four times, he meant a lot to me. He was different. I loved him. It was Pookie Boy that made my family buy Zebedee - a true dog of my dreams, who is now six years old. That's why I owe him this kennel.
(poem about Pookie Boy) From the first time I met you,I loved you, and you loved me too.
We played together in fields,
That was our favourite thing.
My spirits would take to the wing.
You would lie down on my lap,
Nothing could beat you, not a horse, not a cat.
I will never forget you,
I know that you would not forget me too.
You loved lying on my lap,
And I loved giving you a good pat.
Oh, for the times we had together!
I'll never forget you,
I know that's what you'd do for me too.
