TRYoung,
I found this forum searching “Rottweiler and Cancer” in May after Max was diagnosed with cancer. I just couldn’t comprehend that my big, sweet, beautiful, oh so young, vibrant Max was going to die. While I couldn’t read the postings in this forum at that time, I did read extensively the postings in the other forums.
My husband looked it me with tears streaming and said, “I can’t go through this again”. While I totally understood his feelings, my heart was telling me something else. I had this need to hold and cuddle a baby Rottie. Max was almost 2 and 150 lbs when we got him. I never got to pick him up, carry him around, and see him grow. I don’t know why that bothered me after he was gone, but I couldn’t get over it. To make a very long story short, I begged and pleaded! It’s hard to put into words, but I knew in my heart that I had to have a baby Rottie. I had way too much love in my heart for Max not to honor his memory with another.
On June 18th, after much research and phone calls, we brought home Max Dylan (aka, Dylan), an 11 ˝ lb, 9 week old beautiful boy that didn’t realize he had legs for the first couple of months.
I can’t explain it, but know that Max approves. So back to this wonderful forum I ran, reading everything I can to help this beautiful boy live the longest, healthiest life I can. I really want to do this right…the training, right foods, etc…. so, therefore, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for welcoming me….and yes, I’ll be staying. I am counting on the wealth of knowledge and support that can be found here and I owe it to Max and Dylan. Thank you all.
