Sweet Carl

Years ago, before we met, my husband moved from Florida to Arizona.  During the transit he left his beloved Golden-mix Carl with his good friend Troy. 

Upon returning to Florida to gather the rest of his things, Aaron realized that Troy's daughter had fallen in love with Carl.  Aaron gave up Carl in order to keep a little girl happy.


We found out today that while Troy and his family where at a softball game, their house caught fire and they lost everything, including Carl and two other dogs.

Rest in peace, sweet Carl.

  15. oh my god what a sad story :( poor doggies xxx
    not that its much help for them poor doggies but just incase anyone else didnt know and it might save someone. you can now get house alarms that connect to smoke detectors and when there is a fire it phones your mobile. i got one for stormy and though hopefully nothing will ever happen it gives me peace of mind and it calls me if anyone tries to break in too. my husband works 2 minutes down the road so storm is in safe hands, touch wood.
