Today would have been Rudy’s 13th birthday. On this special day, we would like to wish her a happy birthday and hope that where ever she is, she is gnawing away at a giant doggy treat.
We love you Rudy and miss you so very much.
Dear Ava,
It is almost Halloween again. I am loving the last 2 years since I came here in doggy heaven. As much as I miss all of you, it was my time to go. Exactly 2 years ago today, I spend my last night in my bed at home before checking into the hospital. Mama and Dada had been worried sick about me for a couple of weeks and had just found out the bad news. In 2 days, it will be 2 years since I left you but I want you to know that I have been with you ever, since in your heart and in your spirit. I know that you are still keeping my bed in the same place and I appreciate everything you do to remember me by.
I can see that you are growing older and understand a lot more now. I can also hear that you are sometimes asking your mama and dada about where I am and I know one day you will understand. Mama and dada tell you that I am flying in the sky with angels and they are right. I will be your angel and look after you the best I can.I see now that you are a big sister. Your little baby sister Mila is beautiful and I wished I could have met her. I am sure you will tell her about me and the fun 9 months we spent together.
I wanted to show you a some pictures of me during one of my Halloweens with your mama and dada. This was back in 1998. Look at the picture here. Don’t they look so little?! 
Dada was Rocky Rambo and mama was a 1920′s flapper girl. I was a devil dog here and you can probably see how committed I was to the costume with my red eyes in the picture.
This couch that we were sitting on was kindly given to us by our good friend Mikey. Actually, I think he just let us borrow it. It was pillowy soft and Nanook and I loved sitting on it. One day, when Nanook and I were sitting on this couch when it was moved to the back porch, we got a little rowdy since mama and dada were not home, we accidentally shredded the whole couch while we were playing around. Let’s just say they were not too happy with me. I am usually a really good girl! I promise!
Don’t I look great in a red cape?
Here I was ready to go trick or treating with dada aka Rocky Rambo. I hope you have the best time trick or treating at your Halloween this year with Grace, Cole and Mila.Don’t forget to brush your teeth after eating all that candy!
Love you always,
Rudy
