Oh, what a touching gesture! The Corkster touched everyone he met and left a lasting impression in all our hearts; now that love will reach out and touch others.

Hugs,

Sounds like Dr. H and Corky had a lot more in common than just a doctor/patient relationship.....big hearts and big character.

Oh Terri,

Now that is truly special, as special as our Corkster. How proud you must be of our little trooper, to have touched his doctor so.

love and hugs,

This was a wonderful tribute to Corky. I believe Dr. H. had a special place in her heart for Corky. She had tears in her eyes when he was released. She even gave me a hug. She is a very caring person.

Have not been on the forum for some time but I do come back to check on you. What a wonderful gesture from Dr. H. I miss you and the Corkster so much. Please let us know how you are doing. I pray for your heart to heal, my dear, sweet friend.
Love,

Thank you Marie and my dear friend Carrol for checking on me. I'm doing a little better, but it's really hard not having Corky with me. It's been 3 months now, but it seems like it was just yesterday. I love him and miss him so much.

I've tried to come on and post some things about Corky, but I haven't been able to do it. I'm going to try now. There are some things that most of you don't know about Corky.

On February 28th, it will be 13 years since Jay and I brought Corky home. When we went to see him, he never went near the lady. He came right up to Jay and me. He was only allowed in the back yard or in their family room. At night, he was put in a cage far away from anyone. He was malnurished and had never been for a walk. On the way home, he was laying on my lap. He was shaking so badly that his teeth were chattering. The only time he was in a car is when they brought him home as a puppy. I kept petting him and telling him that it was okay. We changed his name to Corky on the way home.

It didn't take us long to realize that Corky had been hit. If he would see a fly swatter, a newspaper, or a magazine in our hands, he would jump up on the chair, his ears would go back, and he would start shaking. At first, when we would try to pet him, he would back away. He wouldn't let us touch his nose to see if was cold and moist or warm and dry, if we didn't think he was feeling well. Eventually that changed. It didn't take Corky long to realize that he could trust us, that we loved him, and that we would never do anything to hurt him. He became the most loving, cuddly, snuggly little boy. He always had to be near us.

I can't post anymore right now.
