One Year Ago Today, My wonderful Rudy died Options

[howzerdo]

I haven't visited here in quite a while, but I thought I would post this today, on the anniversary of his death. It is hard to believe it has been a year. I think of him every day, and still miss him. Every month, on the 25th, I think "now he has been gone six months" etc. I admit that it does get a lot easier to handle, with the passing of time, but this past couple of weeks have been hard because of his birthday, and his anniversary. It's kind of like I don't want his lifetime moving farther back in my life!

Here is a tribute with a lot of pictures that I wrote last year, based on some posts I made here at that time. I put the finishing touches on it and posted it last week, in honor of his birthday.

I remember Rudy

I think Rudy's death has hit me the hardest of any pet I've owned. It isn't that I didn't love my other sweethearts who have passed on as much, or don't love my other dog, my cat and the young dog I adopted since Rudy's death - I did and do - but his age (10), his illness from cancer, and the fact that he had no hangups - he was a very easy dog to have, and I was so proud of him - have intensified the grief over losing him.
