    Knock me over with a feather! Walter is going to be 15 in June! We thought he was about ten years old. The vet gave me the chip number and I called the company (more about chips later) and found Walter was born June 2008. That helps me understand him better, and admittedly has changed my approach to interacting with him. I\’ve decided, in deference to his mature age, to keep calling him Walter. It is his name, after all. He is still sweet and slowly getting comfortable in his new home.But what a surprise to find out he is soon to be fifteen. I always encourage the adoption of older animals, especially in the spring when so many babies are in shelters and older animals are often overlooked. Thanks to the many of you who shared greetings about Walter in response to last week\’s email. That is so nice of you all and I hope you will share your thoughts and feelings with us here in our caring Community. I\’ll update about Walter and look forward to hearing from YOU with your updates. {{Toni & Walter}}
    • Welcome home, Walter!
      • Thank you, Cody. Walter is settling in and seems to be happy. He’s finicky about wet foods so it’s a challenge each day but he us a sweet boy and I am delighted to have him in my life.
        • You can always call him as “Wonderful Walter” each time you address him. And Yes, what a surprise for you to learn he is 5 years older than you thought. He is a lucky fella to have found you.
          • I love that – Wonderful Walter! Thanks for the great name, Sue. I like helping older animals even though it often means a shorter time together, and potential health challenges. All animals deserve loving homes and great care and I am fortunate to have this opportunity to be with W.Walter. He’s still pretty timid around others but I’ll try to introduce him at our Zoom meeting the 16th. I hope you will join us. {HUGS}
