Seven years

[RedyreRottweilers]

It's been 7 years since that terrible day when I had to release you from your ravaged body that was being destroyed by the cancer.

Some of the pain and awfulness of that black day have faded, but it is still a very painful memory.

It is easier now to smile when I think of you. That eternal grin on your face. The way you LOVED your boomer ballie.

When you came to live with me, you were a gangly awkward WILD flat footed black faced crazy little dog. I loved you with my entire heart and soul from the first time I saw you.

You were my first show dog, and you introduced me to many people who have become lifelong friends and mentors. I am so glad I have the memory of earning my very first AKC CH point with you on the end of my lead. We got Booxbaumed!

It took me 9 years to finally get that last leg on your CD title, but you did it in style. I was so proud.

I was never prouder than when we won the Veteran Sweeps, and you were 11 years old!! It was a bittersweet moment. Everyone knows at age 11 Rottweilers are in the twilight of their lifetime. Little did I know you would be gone in little more than 2 months.....

We still made it to MRC that year. Even tho you were very sick, you still managed to have a great time, and as usual, make me smile.

You were my Roxy girl, my puppysmurf, my purpalurpa, my wibba, and so many other pet names. I miss you still, smurfapurf. I will never forget what the top of your head smelled like, or how you would snuggle with me, so still, in the mornings before it was time to get up.

I will remember you always, the way you lived life. Full bore, wide open, balls to the wall, non stop.

See you one of these days on the other side, my puppy girl.

Such wonderful memories for you !!! I've lost so many over my many years and it's always so hard . We all have to remember that 10 years from now , most of our wonderful Chaz dogs will have passed on the The Rainbow Bridge. Enjoy every day now !! I thank Ollie every night, while we cuddle , for being here for me .... and the ones above for sending him to me .

What a great dog! And such a wonderful tribute to him. The memories keep us going, don't they...and yet make us miss them still. He had a good, long life though and you can be glad for that. Lovely dog.

You all are so lucky to have more memories and loves ahead of you . I only hope that Ollie out lives me . I've been so blessed through my dog years and I thank each and everyone for the love and devotion that they gave me . When you are my age , maybe you'll understand .
