MICK
January, 1991 - February 26, 2002
Mick was added to GALT's family of greyhounds on August 12, 2001, a Saturday evening. He had been found wandering the streets, without any collar or identification, close to the busy intersections of Buckner Boulevard and NW Highway about 10:00pm. He was a small red brindle male, with the biggest ears ever, and stooped, arthritic back legs. We could read his tattoos, but there was not a record to be found at the NGA as to who his owner of record was.
Dr. Shelley Hempell asked her neighbor and friend, Karen Ahlquist, if she could help GALT by providing a foster home for him......and Karen, being the animal-loving person she is, did not hesitate to say "YES"!
Over the next months, Karen and her family gave Mick more love than perhaps he had ever known. His favorite things were to lay in front of the fireplace at Karen's feet, or in a "sun spot" where his old arthritic bones were made to feel warm. He loved tummy rubs and was just about the best cuddler ever! Although Mick died without being "officially adopted", he WAS in his forever home, and he KNEW it.
So from Mick, "Karen, doG Bless You."
