Rottie left us on October 3, 2008. He was suffering, having been unable to walk since September of 2006. He went peacefully to the Rainbow Bridge, but will live and love on forever in the hearts of his humans. We won't - rather - can't - be without a furbaby in this house, so stay tuned for our new member - Coming soon!

Well, we're here to stay! We came to Grandma's on Mother's Day and we haven't gone home yet. I guess this is our new home. It's cool, though 'cuz we have a big yard with lots of trees that actually give us food, like mangos, lemons and tangelos. Of course, I can't eat that stuff, but it makes Mom happy to have all the birds and butterflies in the yard and the cool flowers and trees. The gardener better come tomorrow, though, 'cuz I can hardly see that egret struting around eating the fallen mangos.
I'm happy and I'm getting lots of attention! Grandma gets on the floor with me each day and massages my legs and my back and hips. Aunt Lillie and I still have stimulating conversations, so sitmulating that Dad is usually saying "Rottie! Quiet!" before I"ve even made my point! But I've got the best humans money can buy (and they've spent a lot on me, I can tell ya', especially for a "freebie" rescue dog like myself.
It's fun to look at the pictures of all the dogs!
Love licks, and later,
Rottie

Well, it finally happened. Grandma and Aunt Lillie are too old to take care of themselves anymore (Boy oh boy do I know THAT feeling!) so we moved in with them. We have a big house in West Palm Beach Florida now and the yard is so big I can't even walk around it in one trip. It's a tropical paradise, man! We have hibiscus flowers in red and pink, purple and red bouganvillias, gardenias, birds of paradise (not the kind of birds you chase, these are really pretty tropical flowers and they grow right outside my bedroom window! Imagine that?! We have a mango tree and lots and lots of tall palm trees and even more pretty flowers. You know, we guys aren't usually into flowers, but it sure gives my nose something to do when I'm outside. I love this place.
Grandma is 83 years old and Aunt Lillie is 92. I'm 10 and 1/2 people years, so in dog years I'm up there, too. They love me and Aunt Lillie will let me have her toast crusts so I lay at her feet during dinner. Grandma holds my bowl for me so I can get into the corners. Now that I can't walk on my own anymore, it's hard for me to stand up to eat, so I get my dinner laying down. Talk about spoiled. That wheelcart helps, but I only use it to go outside for "business". It helps me "assume the position" if you get my drift.
Well, it's time for breakfast with the Ladies. Catch you on the frisbee side!
Licks and woofs,
Rottie
