Bodie

My friend, a retired lady loved her dog, Jodi so much and they were best friends. When Jodi passed away she was heart broken. Jodi was an Old English Sheep Dog and these can be very pricey. Mae became a widow at aged forty with three young children to raise on her own and would never be able to purchase one of these dogs.

Together, we went on an expedition to find another dog to fill the void. Before long, a dog was offered to her named Bodi. What a shame that many people only want puppies and have no use for the adult dog. We picked Bodi up in Burlington Ontario and Mae became the best of friends for the next nine years.

During the past two years, Bodi has had some health problems and two operations have helped keep him going. He is still cheerful, but Mae knows that soon Bodi will not be with her. She makes sure that he only is fed the prescription food from the vet and is always watchful of his health.
