JACOPO, CONTINUED APRIL 2018
Shell Lewis writes: I wanted to take a moment to remind our CRUSA supporters of some of the "silent recipients" of your generosity. One such dog is "Jacopo", a little 16-year-old who came from a Colorado shelter in May 2017. Jacopo's owners actually were located, but they assumed he had "crawled into the woods to die" and did not want him back. CRUSA Charlie in the background, along with Rowdy, a mix of what, we are not sure. He came from a shelter; we adopted him ten years ago
Jacopo will likely never be adopted. In the 11 months he has been with CRUSA, his veterinary bills have surpassed the $1,000 mark; undoing 15 years of neglect and apathy comes with a hefty price tag. He recently had x-rays and another dental. But if there was ever any doubt that Jacopo is worth every cent, just compare his intakes photo with his current picture. Excellent veterinary care, the dedication of a wonderful foster home (Heather Shea and family), and the backing of Cairn lovers like YOU are truly making a difference in the lives of Jacopo and so many other Cairns.

OLD DOG
Darling,            the hesitation in your step            makes my heart ache,            knowing that you're wondering,            hoping,            is this the last home?            will i have to move again?            how will she know who i am?            Beautiful,            i see your history in your eyes            and in those small quirks,            in your startles and starts.            oh, i know i'll never know            the whole story of you            but            together            we can patch things up,            heal old wounds,            soothe old fears.	Beloved,            i respect your years,            and i promise            you will grow old with me            in comfort,            in love,            in safety.            and when your years are done,            i will see you through your passing,            and keep you close            in my arms,            in my heart.            You will live forever.                Tam Nesbit                June 2001                @RB 2016
