I've been waiting for an update. I suppose there are those bad days, and you just don't want to jump into calling the vet to soon. I hope that there are many good days still to come, and I'm thinking of you, Patti, Haley and most of all Rusty.

Be strong... make those memories.... know that the DK folks are thinking and praying for you !

The beauty of dogs is that they live in the moment. No worries, no regrets. Enjoy the days, somehow I believe there will be many more yet to come. Hugs to the whole family.

What a beautiful picture.  Have it enlarged and framed.  Rusty looks so good in the photo.  You are such good doodle parents - taking one day at a time.  Praying for you . . . and Bodi sends doodle kisses.
