| Three Years......Gee I don't know .... What happen to my first post. It has been three years tonight that the love of my life departed this troubled world. Rottie Rufus
was a class act to follow. Everyone that met him still comments
on how well trained he was. He was welcomed at all of the vets office. They were really suprised when he would walk over and lick their hand. My Dear Freind got called away all of a sudden that full moon night. We had bedded down for the night, 30 minutes later he was gasping for air. We headed for the vets office after I called him but Rufus didn't make the 25 minute ride.
He had hemangiosarcoma. His report from the University of Mo.
did not come back until that Monday, so I let the vet do an
necropsy so I could put this behind me and stop wondering what was wrong with my guy. I knew something was wrong with him but what I could not say. That night he looked so tired but was still my big love bug. Well, to make a long story short I still have three rotties , Coco is 11, diabetic and blind rescued her at 5 years old, Thor is 7 and a natural hell raiser, Bear will be six and
slim down from 183 lbs to 164 lbs. He has a thyroid conditon
so we decided to keep him, another rescue. I would like one more show pet, but my hubby insist on helping the ones that need it most. So, all in all one day my big Rufus Dufus, mom will see you again . I must go the tears are showing up, and
on August 28th which would have been your 14 th birthday,
I will have our butter pecan treat.
