Rudy T was a wonderful dog. We were blessed to have him in our lives for a short time and he changed our lives forever. He loved everyone and his temperament is something that we strive to emulate into every dog that will ever come out of our program. I have never met a person that did not have to smile when they came into Rudy T’s presence. He was the total package; correct conformation, excellent temperament and a true family dog.
Rudy T you will be forever loved and forever missed.
Gone but not forgotten………
The Last Battle
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close -- we two -- these years....
Don't let your heart hold any tears
