[Spoiled Rott'n]

Sabre was 9 1/2 years old, he would have been 10 in June. We are still not sure what happened but whatever it was it was quick. I mean I just let him outside and where my husband found him was right outside the dog door that leads into the backyard.

It is just so quiet, something that is also going to get some getting used too. Sabre let ya know he was in the house with his big boy bark, rottie grumbles and other funny sounds. Cody's been looking for him as well as my cats. Sabre loved the cats, cuddled with them everyday.

I'm sure this gets easier but it just feels like there is a piece of me just ripped out. My husband has been quite a trooper too, filling his time up with work and his bowling. Since having knee surgery I am still not back to work yet, so I am home more than I have ever been but I'm glad in a way because Cody, who will be 12 next month, is loving having me home.

Sabre lived a great life and changed some of our friends and family conception of what a rottweiler can be: loving and tender, protective but aloof and most of all funny but serious at times. It is amazing how many friends and family of me and Dave's that he touched and how shocking the news was to everyone.

Sabre hope you are doing well and playing nice and know that mommy, daddy, Cody, Princess, Spike and Sasha miss you a whole bunch.
