I am not a huge dog person and I know it is lame to blog about your dog. But I am putting all of that aside today. Rudi died this morning. I am sad for my mom. She said to me today that he served a great purpose in our family, and I would have to agree. I admit that I cried thinking of him not being around anymore. Who knew it would be so sad to lose a 2 lb. little dog, who lets just be honest, was not sane, normal, or even friendly? We bought him at a gas station one Christmas from a lady in a van. Mom and I saved had to save him from choking just a few months ago. He slept 20 hours a day and shook when anyone came near him. He was odd, but he will be missed. He was a good companion to my mom when I was not at home anymore. Despite all of his quirks, I am very thankful for him.
