Guest dwolfe711 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 OMG - what a big beautiful boy - some of my tears at reading his story are for the time he had to spend in the kennel without the love of your wonderful family. I am so glad that you found him when you did and gave him the six most wonderful weeks of his life in your loving home. You did a wonderful thing for him and I am sure that he became as big a part of your heart as if he had been there six years! He knew the love of family and the freedom of a home - and now he runs free at the Bridge - run free sweet Rudy - - and hugs to your forever family - we are so sorry for your loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SkipperAnnie Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 We adopted Rudy on February 13, 2010 from Friends of Greyhounds in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. He had been in their kennel for two years waiting for his forever home. They could not understand why no one wanted to adopt him. He was sweet, beautiful and liked to play ball. They thought maybe people were put off by the name Unruly so they changed it to Rudy. That still did not help. In the beginning of February he was diagnosed with Osteosarcomas on the roof of his mouth. Friends of Greyhounds put out a message on their website asking for help. They wanted Rudy to have a home. They were willing to waive his adopting fee and take care of all his medical bills if they could fine someone to love and take care of him. I found Rudy’s story on their website and wanted to help. We had just lost Missy our 12 year old greyhound (Jan. 12th) to leg cancer so we had the room and the experience to take care of him. We were so lucky that FOG picked us to be Rudy’s family. We had six wonderful weeks with him. He was sweet, loving and the perfect companion. He got along with our pack and really enjoyed walking around the neighborhood with them. He liked going for rides in the car and going to the park to watch DS play tennis. His favorite thing to do was run around the backyard and play ball. He loved the yard and would stay out there all day if we would let him. He had good days and bad days with his health. He had nose bleeds all the time and problems breathing because of the tumor but he never let any of this slow him down. He was always happy to see us and ready to go outside and play. This past Thursday night the tumor had grown so big that it was a struggle for Rudy to breathe. We stayed up with him all night and realized that it was time to let him go. I could not get off from work so my DH took him to the vet. He stayed with Rudy, held him in his arms and told him how much we loved him while he pasted away. My DH took him home, cleaned him up and buried him in the backyard that he loved so much. We wanted to thank Friends of Greyhounds for paying for all Rudy’s medical expenses and for giving him a chance to have a home and a family. They really showed us how much they care about all their dogs and how important it is for each dog to find their forever home. We also wanted to thank Claudia at Greyhound Gang for recommending the lavender oil and aromatherapy pillow to help Rudy sleep. Thank you for the fast shipping and the discount. He used the pillow and oil everyday and it really did help. Thank you for taking the time to read about Rudy. He was so special and we miss him so much. Thank you for having such a big heart and giving Rudy all of your love - he's telling all his friends at the rainbow bridge how lucky he was to have you.

queenwinniesmom Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Unlike us humans, they don't fear that future pain and sadness. Thank goodness that knowledge didn't keep you from opening your hearts and home to such a deserving boy, and bless you for doing that. Though long overdue, Rudy knew that he had found his true forever home. And he knew how very much he was loved. I'm so sorry that you and your precious Rudy didn't have more time together.
