I remember the first time I saw a rottie. I thought they were the ugliest dog ever. Then I met one. At that moment I had to have one. I looked for a long time. Then I saw you. It was love at first sight. You were this little ball of fur rolling around on the ground and asking for your belly to be rubbed. I couldn't refuse. Then I picked you up. The first thing you did was give me a kiss. At that point, you were mine or should I say I was yours. You followed me every where I went. You were the apple of my eye. You were only 2 months old and just like a little teddy bear.
You became my pet, my baby, my friend, my protector and my son. There was no one like you. You made every one love you. Those big brown eyes of yours drew every one in. One look at you and every one fell in love with you. Your male friends didn't like your greeting but they loved you anyway. You had this point and lift. A painfull way for you to say hi to anyone. I always new when you were leary of some one. You would lean up against my legs and almost knock me off balance. You were such an oversized lap puppy. You didn't mind though. You loved to be close to people you loved. In your eyes, the way to do this was get on their laps.
You always knew what you wanted. If some one did not pay attention to you, you barked at them. They soon got the idea. If you didn't like some one, they did not get in the house. That was rare. You always had to help Mom fix meals. That is you had to get your nose in the way. You had to check every thing out, even food. You always told Mom when food did not smell right. That was lots of fun. Talk about almost knocking me off my feet if I didn't listen to you. You were so persistent.
I miss the way you used to wake me up. Never did like your cold nose in my back. You always had to have your good morning hug and kiss. That also had to be a good night too. If I forgot for some reason, you pouted something awful. You always new when Mom was having a bad time and watched over me. Even if that meant cuddling to me on the bed.At this point even Daddy had to fight to get close to me.
You sure did like to be henpecked. I could not believe it. You let Banni have her way no matter what. If you didn't, you would end up with a new scar. It was funny how you and Dad picked the same puppy out of a litter. She picked Dad and you picked her for your lifemate. The two of you were never apart. If you were, you would pace and cry for her. I know you missed her. It was just a year later and you joined her. Now you can be with her forever.
I will never forget you my friend, my son. You will always be very special to me. Nothing or no one can take your place. You will always be in my heart.
