[Welcome to this week’s edition of “Saturday Stories.” Every Saturday I take a break from the regular Scripture-based daily devotional and write a story from life.
As soon as I saw the title, I smiled. Tony also was saddled with caring for me when mom and dad went to New Orleans and I came down with strep throat. It must have been somewhat daunting for a young guy. But he got me to the doctor and did his best.
I don’t remember this but mom and dad used to talk about when we stayed in a small motel in Elko (during the move) and Tony came to visit. Blue saw Tony’s red pickup from the window and his tail began to wag and he got so excited seeing Tony. What a smart dog he was.
Times were different. My brother & I share some stories similar to this. No cell phones GPS, or home security systems with cameras, but somehow we did just fine. We learned to be resourceful which is a quality that’s becoming more rare among young people. Now I’m sounding old!

I didn’t remember him visiting us there.
I’d have to clarify with mom but I think it was in the midst of moving to Elko. Now that I think about it, it may have been Reno (on the way).
