Rusty would have been 14 years old this October. Sadly, we helped him cross the bridge last night. He chose to be in our lives 7 years ago. Lucky for us his former owner was not able to keep him. He was such a great first dog. I couldn't imagine how anyone could give him up. He was my heart.
Unfortunately, cancer got the best of him. We didn't even know he had it until last night. His leg snapped while going around the living room chair to get a stuffy. We rushed him to the Emergency Vet and the doctor confirmed that it was cancer and that his leg would never heal. We did not want him to suffer. Together as a family we let him go peacefully.
Good-bye my Roo-Roo, we miss you and love you.
