RIP in Peace Rusty (a good boy)

[Moral]

Rusty ended up making it to 13 years old, and I was surprised. I thought the guy was toast three years ago as he started to have health issues, but he ended up being pretty resilient. I got Rusty as a slightly matured puppy. My BIL had just deployed to Afghanistan and my sister was pregnant with her third. She really liked Rusty and wanted to keep him in the family so she drove up from Fort Hood and gave me Rusty who promptly bit me in the arm causing me to bleed. We became blood brothers after that.

Rusty was blind, diabetic, and had dry eyes starting at around 10 years old. Which lead to me spending a ton of money on medications, buying fancier foods, and carrying him around the park to set him in places he would sniff around on.

Sadly, an unexpected seizure/stroke a couple weeks ago unfortunately made for a very obvious decision. Either way here are some old dog pics, sorry no pics of my BIL or sister.

Sad for you. I hope you can find it in your heart to rescue another dog.

Sorry to hear. It’s such a tough thing to do, even when the decision is clear.

Looks like a lot of personality behind those eyes.

 

[JRHawk2003]

Sorry man. Dogs are the best.

They add so much to our lives. Mine have. I miss the ones that have passed and think of them all the time.

 

[BelemNole]

Sorry to hear about Rusty. Looks like a Good Boy.
My wife's favorite just turned 11 and has started to lose weight. It will be ugly around here when he goes.

 

[QChawks]

sorry Moral, sounds like a great pooch

13 amazing years I am sure

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

Sorry to hear, dogs are the best. Really dread the day this will happen for our two pooches.

 

[Nole-4-Life]

Sorry to hear that man. Rusty looks like a cool dog. They really are like family.

Sorry for the loss of your well dressed and well groomed pet.

Did he dress you as nicely?

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

They’re all good boys. Sorry for your loss. Losing a pet sucks.

 

[BrianNole777]

Sorry for your loss @Moral

13 is a good run. I'll say a rosary for you and him.

 

[Moral]

Sorry for the loss of your well dressed and well groomed pet.

He never got me in a bow tie but sometimes we matched.

 

[fredjr82]

Is he a full blown Corgi or a mix with something? Cute pup. Sorry for your loss

 

[HawCory]

Sorry for your loss, Moral.
Mine is a little over 13 years old and has days that she acts like it, so I'll likely be in the same boat before too long.

Corgi/rat terrier. Pretty unique guy.

 

[Sharky1203]

RIP my brother. Damn good dog and had great taste in amps and heads.

Sorry to hear this Moral. Oh and there is a nickel under the table….

 

[VodkaSam]

Sorry Moral. Great looking pup. Dogs are the best and part of the family, so it really hurts.

 

[fredjr82]

Corgi/rat terrier. Pretty unique guy.

That's funny. My parents had a Corgi/Rat Terrier female for many years. Anna Belle. My old man spoiled the shit out of her (ice cream, mike and ikes, etc). Probably why she died of a stroke early. She was a good dog though.

 

[praguehawk]

Sorry for your loss. He looked like an awesome dog. Maybe do a tribute painting of him for your avatar for a bit. What is the breed of the white dog? Almost looked like a samoyed puppy in the one picture.

 

[McLovin32]

Damn, sorry to hear this Moral. Hell of a cute dog. It's never ever easy to put a pet down.

American Eskimo dog aka a white German spitz. They have a similar look to a samoyed but around half the weight.

 

[lonestar50]

Sorry to hear. The loss of a dog was one of the hardest things I've gone through. Looks like you had quite the bond.

 

[SolarHawk]

So sorry brother, we don’t deserve dogs, they are a gift. I’m certain you gave him the best life possible.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Sorry to hear ... Rusty looks very similar to my daughter's dog ... keep thinking good thoughts about the time you had with Rusty.

 

[hydro2.0]

Hope you waved a steak for old boy before going.

 

[millah_22]

I would die for Rusty.

 

[Fan In Black]

sorry buddy.

 

[hawkeye54545]

Sorry for your loss. Animals are awesome.

 

[Moral]

I would die for Rusty.

Rusty would have loved that.

 

[jellyfish10]

This mother fvcker is a like whore, vying for POTY and everyone is falling for it? Well I’ll be goddamned.











Seriously brother I’m sorry for your loss. That’s a bummer man.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

sorry man, we have had a lot of cats and dogs, we got one that's 8 now. thinking one day...not going to be fun... well, we cannot think like that, just be grateful of the time they spend with us!! they are awesome

 

[pink shizzle]

(Not meant to be a joke; poured one for the homie at a friend's wedding. RIP Rusty)

 

[NoleinATL]

Sorry about Rusty @Moral, It is always a tough day, even when it is the right decision.
Hopefully, the happy memories and pictures of that snazzy dresser bring you and the family some solace and smiles.

 

[Hawkman98]

RIPIP

 

[EasyHawk]

Very sorry for your loss. Our first dog was a terrier mix from DSM ARL. She lived about 12 years. Then we got a fox terrier mix from another rescue place who had been abused and was scared of men. At about 3 our vet said she had an autoimmune disease and her kidneys were shutting down. Somehow she came out of it and lived to 11. Then we got two Pom mix pups from a rescue place in Missouri (one is 30 pounds so I call him a Standard Pom LOL). They are almost 8 now. Can’t imagine not having them.

 

[SSG T]

Ts and Ps dude.

Like I tell everyone, I like my dog more than pretty much everyone I'm not related to, and more than quite a few I am related to.

And yes, if I had to pick between my dog and a person in a life or death situation, sorry people, I'm picking my dog because he's better than you.

 

[THE_DEVIL]

sorry
