2004 was probably the worst year of my life. I had to put my 20 year old cat down on February 9th - on February 22nd the light of my life left me. My Cromwell, 8 1/2 year old rottie, died of a brain tumor. My heart was in pieces. Cromwell was such a force in my life and had given me soooo much I felt driven to honor his memory and save another of his kind. On March 22nd I adopted Winston from Majesty Rottweiler Rescue - I wanted to repay Cromwell for all he had done for me. I have had Winston for 4 years now, and he is my dearest companion. He helped to heal my heart. It was so painful to lose Cromwell, but if I had not had him I would have missed 8 1/2 years of love and joy. The pain of loss was more than worth the joy of loving Crommie. And now I have the joy and love of Winston.

You will know when the time is right.
