Golden Retrievers 4 & 5 of 1000
Thursday, November 20, 2008 at 09:08PM Introducing Cameron & Ferris
We are happy to introduce you to Cameron and Ferris! We are putting them into one story, because they are family. Not only are they family, they are rescued Goldens from Tennessee, who were adopted by the parents of Fenway. Here is their story in Bari's words...
by: Bari Boisvert
I received the call to rescue Ferris about 3:00 in the afternoon the day we put Fenway down. I couldn't believe it. We had put in to rescue long before, thinking that would be the medicine Fennie needed, but it wasn't meant to be. I am not one who is into signs, but there ever was one, that would be it. When we heard about Ferris, we were also told about Cameron. Ferris was abused and Cam was a stray with a broken front leg. Something in my gut told me to take Cam too, although my husband was not so sure two dogs would be a good idea.
Ferris' original name was Kyle and we had changed it to Ferris (the F for Fenway). I woke at 3am about a week after the call and woke up Scott and yelled, "We have to take Cameron in too!! Cameron is Ferris Bueller's best friend in the movie!!"
Certifiable I am!
Ferris is our cowardly lion, but has grown so much in the 2 1/2 years we have had him. He has just learned to use his bark (not sure if he knew he had one prior to his abuse) and is definitely a mama's boy. Cameron is our evil little gnome; getting into everything...including our hearts. They both needed us. Cam has horrible allergies and is on meds and shots. I am not sure how many people would take in a dog like that. A lot of hard work got Ferris to be the boy he is today...again much paitience. And, they love each other. They both would not be the dogs they are without one another.
Our home and hearts are full once again, but we'll always have a piece for Fenway.
