Rusty

We found out today that Rusty, the dog that lived next door, passed away this week. He was only 5 years old, and died of cancer of the stomach. He was just a puppy when we moved in, and we are friends with his "parents". So, we've watched Rusty grow up, and always played with him through the fence. He loved it when I went next door to visit. He would spend the whole time while I was there plastered up against me, and bringing me all his toys. He wasn't a small dog...he was about 80 pounds and solid muscle. But he was a real sweatheart. We will miss him. And I feel just awful for the neighbours. They are heartbroken.
