Rudy (King Rudy)

2013 - 2024

Today our precious and magnificent Rudy died from a very aggressive form cancer (HSA) of the spleen. The Dr. explained that tests showed an additional cancer growth on Rudy's liver and that this disease spreads very fast. Rudy's spleen ruptured Saturday night and by Monday morning he was extremely weak from internal bleeding. We all knew that something bad was happening and our magnificent dog passed away a short time after.

Diane and I had a few moments to tell him how much we loved him. We were able to touch, kiss, hold him, and rub his beautiful coat. It was so sad.
At exactly 11:48, Rudy was euthanized, and we cried like babies. We will have an empty place in our hearts, and I/we will miss him all the days of our lives.
Our hearts are broken. I'm devastated. I don't think I will ever get over losing my precious boy.

God blessed us with him for 10 years, 3 months, and 24 days, of pure joy and love. He is the most magnificent and most wonderful dog I have ever known in my entire life.

If love could have saved him, he would have lived forever.
Rudy, you were so intuitive, so smart.
Rudy, your fur always smelled so fresh and clean. It smelled like fresh cream.
Rudy, you were so gentle. You were our 60lb lamb.
You never bit or were aggressive to anyone.
When you saw other dogs all you wanted to do was play.
Rudy, we so miss your wonderful smile.
Rudy, you had an undeniable presence in our lives.
Your presence filled our world, and we feel your absence.
Rudy, we three gave each other amazing life.
Rudy, you were my shadow and my loyal unconditional loving companion.
Rudy, you loved your mom so much.
Rudy, you were our leaner and cuddlier dog.
Rudy, we had our constant banter.
Rudy, every night you took your paws and would tell me it’s time for bed.
Rudy, you were the last thing I saw every night and the first thing I saw in the morning.
Hearing your tail thumping on the carpet in the morning was such a delight.
We see you everywhere and sometimes imagine we see a glimpse of you, again.
I never missed a change to give you a belly rub or a scratch on your sweet spot.
The house and our yard are so empty without you.
