not just my dog
by Lorraine cataldi
Rudy, I got you 2 weeks before christmas in 1990, I had no name for you until we watched the show Rudolph the reindeer, i was calling you diffrent names until i called rudolph and you let out a yelp and i knew that would be your name, eventually you were a year old we started to call you rudy. I just want you know we had 13 years together it was still too short of time. i always thought we would always have more time. On that friday night my life changed forever, i just want you to know i now know what a heartache is i still cry an ocean and i will never stop crying, i find myself still calling you and talking to you. I cannot believe in a matter of 7 hours that i had my arm around you on the way to the hospital and running with you in my arms in the hospital, i thought you would be ok but i was told that you were starting to suffer and we weren't given a choice we had to do what i never wanted to hear to put you down, your heart and lungs couldn't take it. I just want you to know that you weren't just my dog, you were my friend, my son, and protector. I also want you to know we miss your greetings when we come home and the house is still silent, but i will keep you in my heart forever, and i'll never stop crying. I love you and i miss you everyday, I have your pictures all over the house i'll always talk to you like i always did, and kiss your pictures that are all over the house. Love you Forever, Mom, Dad, Anthony Rest in Peace Rudy Cataldi 10/26/90- 8/28/04
