Goodbye, Old Friend

April 13, 2007 By JD 8 Comments

Fish Dog

I lost my best fishing buddy tonight…

Rudy, you were the best pal a guy could have. You’re going to be sorely missed. Thanks for all the good times and the memories. I hope doggie Heaven is full of salmon to bark at, rabbits to chase, beef jerky to gobble and 6-foot sticks to fetch.

We’ll never forget you…

    Jeff & Tamara: Pam and I are so heartbroken to hear about loosing Rudy; he was truly one of a kind and will be missed by many. Only time will help the sorrow pass.

    Fair winds and smooth seas.
    Love

    A big, and indescribable portion of me was lost with the Roo-man. He was and still is, the best pal any guy could have! He touched all of us, each in his own special Roo way and, in the end, hopefully, imparted in all of us, an appreciation of how to live as he did; pure, fun-loving, and loyal.

    Roo, I will miss you dearly!

    Rudy was the best fishdog ever. I can’t hardly believe it – I sure will miss him. VT

    Rudy was an awesome dog. I will always remember how he walked protectively ahead and alongside Gareth and me one quiet November night. I felt like I had our own escort/bodyguard.

    Awww… I hope he’s happy in doggy heaven too and is being treated like a king.
