A story from Jane about The Longest Trip Home posted 11/19/2008 Boy, I wish my dad was still alive so I could ask him if he remembers your unfortunate Sun. morning as an altar boy with the candle at Refuge. He was the head usher at Our Lady of Refuge forever and I'm sure he would have laughed out loud as I did when I read your description. It's a great book and I'm so glad I went right out and bought it after reading a review in last Sunday's "Detroit Free Press". Can't wait to pass it on to my other siblings who attened Refuge. What a walk down memory lane. When the Felicians took us to see the convent it certainly convinced me being a nun was NOT in the cards for me. Every year we walked over to O.L. St. Mary's for our "field trip". Those awful blue plaid uniforms with the peter pan collar blouses and "hot lunch day", it all came back to me. Your book is a wonderful tribute to your dad and helped me remember my dad and how dedicated he was to the church too. Thank you for writing it. A story from Felicia about 1st on the list is Faunsy posted 07/09/2010 OOh where do I start.. Well we rescued him from an abusive home. They had him tied up and was barely feeding him. So when we got him his name was tank, he was very malnourished and nervous. But after a month when he realized that we were here to help, roles reveresed and He become the daddy..lol He LOVES baths its kind of scary. He will jump on the edge of the tub when he feels he had enough bathing, and stand up waiting to be dried. Then He stands still for his blow drying and sits back when he gets his nails clipped. Please believe I was not trying to raise a snooty dog. I dont know what happened!! lol He will not eat food if touched by another dog nor drink the water. He runs around the house like a mad man every morning around 4 am and licks toes of unsuspecting visitors..lol But I love him sooo much. And he's never met an object, dog (or just the tail), arm he didnt want to make sweet love to.. neutered and all. So I decided to change his name to Faunsworth Bently.. cool huh?! lol That just one dog wait to u hear about the others..lol A story from Felicia about Dog number 2 posted 07/11/2010 Midnight!! lol the dog that wishes he was a pup again. He was a bait dog. When he was found he was missing part of his tail and ears but we took him in anyway. For years he was the lone dog in the house. Head dog, calm, quiet and polite!! until faunsy came into the picture (the firts dog i wrote about) Now he trys to keep up. Steals food and happened to knock over the cooking sherry.. scary day for us until we left the vet and found out he was going to be ok. then it became funny. He climbs into laundry baskets and manage to get my 3rd dog pregnant not once but twice. who knew he knew what is was, he's like 65 in doggy years.lol oh well we love him. it seems he will never slow but I know he will soon :( until then ROCK ON Midnight A story from Felicia about Dog number 3 posted 07/22/2010 Well, I'm back to talk about the 3rd dog in the group. She was also a stray when. Two girls were walking her and her sister and said they were looking for someone to take them. Well while we were checking them out the girls left with out a trace. So now we were debating what to do. But I couldnt turn her down. My aunt took her sister. From that day forward I named her Gingy! She's very quiet. Sadly before we got her spayed at around 1, midnight the older dog managed to get her pregnant not once but twice. The first time I was a little nervous. Will she be a good mommy? She's so young. But she surprised us and was wonderful both times. She's my old faithful. Always by my side. Best choice I have made!! I love you girl (the pic is when i first got her) Read More Stories > Begin Sharing Your Story >
