He was a big friend, a powerful Rottweiller breed. He was my favorite dog. He always hung out with me when I was outdoors. We had many a pleasant "talk" together. The photo below shows us resting one hot summer day.

I buried Rowdy near where I buried my other two dogs: Oreo and Chelsea.
He will also get a concrete paver memorial headstone.
I'm terrible sorry for your loss. A dog is a member of the family.
ReplyDeleteI watch my own dog get older. She's 15, deaf, her vision is going and she's becoming quite ... eccentric. I enjoy every minute we have with her because at 15, those minutes are becoming few.

May your "eccentric" dog enjoy her final days.
