May 2, 2011 We
lost Dudley early to cancer:
So in his memory, in October of that same
year, we Rescued Jake:
At the age of aprx 15, after a hard life,
he is now enjoying his twilight years in
comfort.
Adopted in Rascal's memory:
We adopted
Roscoe(left) and Riley(right) in 2009 from
The
Springfield Humane Society to celebrate our
joint success with Rascal

Rascal
Our canine
friend of 18+ years finally
reached the
sad sunset of his life last night.
We wanted to
give Rascal a tribute
as we
reluctantly say goodbye to the
closest thing
to a son that we'll ever have.
We are truly
grateful for the successful life he had with
us
but must
admit, we grew very fond of him over so many
years
and this week,
our hearts are indeed broken.
As a rescued
animal 17.5 years ago,
we found Raz
at the local animal shelter:
when he was
only 6 months old.
The day Robin
came to take him home, Raz immediately got
in Robin's lap
in the car, wrapped both paws around Rob's
neck,
as if to hug
him, and then he kissed Robin's cheek, and
put his head
calmly on
Rob's shoulder as if to thank him. It was an
amazing moment.
He won our
hearts immediately.
From then on,
it was car and motorcycle rides,
many fun days
of playing, running, and hanging together as
a family.
For the past 3
years, Robin and Lori have dedicated most of
their personal
time to being with Raz as he grew very old
and delicate.
Rascal was an
integral part of our family, and he will be
deeply missed.
Our house in
the pics below has never known a world
without him.
Below, is a
collage, of pictures spanning from the first
year of his life,
through the
middle, and to the twilight sunset of his
last Christmas 6 months ago.
All we can do
is something like this tribute,
because we
want the whole world to know
all about the
coolest dog we've ever had.
We promise we
will never forget you Razzy,
and to help
us, we give thanks to the folks at
the
Springfield
Humane
Society who will be
honoring
Rascal's memory on their happy homes page.
