Brady Goes to the Rainbow Bridge

With sadness, I pass along the news that Brady is no longer with us. He was experiencing ever more frequent and severe seizures. The multiple medications were no longer effective and robbed him of his playful spirit and energy. The seizures were physically and mentally draining for him and us too. He remained sweet through it all though. We all miss him. Especially Rudy. Rudy is very clingy, not liking to be left alone much. I'm hoping that will lessen in time. We are loving on him as much as he will let us. It was Oct, 3 when he passed; it was hard to talk about for a while. He wasn't supposed to be the one to go first

It was difficult to make the decision since he wasn't in pain all the time or anything but one night the seizures were very severe and he lost his eyesight, was completely lethargic, and wasn't able to control his pee or poo at all. He was very distressed and I knew it was time. The vet agreed. It was most likely a brain tumor causing the problems and it was not going to get better only worse. He enjoyed a bunch of liver sausage and lots of cuddles at the end . It was a good end.

Sympathy to the whole family, especially Rudy, and to his foster Mom Christine M as well, who found the perfect family for Brady and Rudy.

Update on Brady and Rudy

Here are some photos of the dogs. They are doing well, and I think they like it here :-) They are getting plenty of attention with both my girls home from college, and their friends dropping by most days. We take a nice long walk every morning, which they love - and plenty of short walks during the day for taking care of business. I love them both, and am so happy we decided to adopt two dogs together!

Regarding their behavior: Rudy is good - some continued marking, but overall is doing well. He's a sweet dog and we all love him. We are still working on Brady's aggression toward other dogs. I plan to bring in a trainer for some professional advice. .

We are so happy to have Brady and Rudy as part of the family :-)

Former Fosters Brady and Rudy Update!

Hi everyone;

Its been 2 weeks since Brady and Rudy have been adopted!! WOW!! 2 weeks can you believe it???!!! I still think of them everyday and wonder what they are up to.

Just got off the phone with Glenda their new mommy and she said they are doing Great!! They have both settled in fine. Neighbors have come over to visit and they tell her how well behaved they are. (after the initial "YAY NEW PEOPLE ARE HERE TO SEE US!!) She said all is good and she has no complaints.

Took them to her vet this past week for their checkup with the new vet. Now sit down for this one........ready??.............................The vet that saw them when they were with me now lives near Glenda and works for her vet!! She needed to call my vet to get the titre results from when they had their titre test here. She even remembers seeing them!! how cool is that?? There appt went well and both are very healthy. Which is great news for a senior boy like Rudy at age 10!

I told Glenda that Brady needs longer adjustment time when being introduced to a new dog he is unfamiliar with. When I first got Brady and Rudy, He wanted to get at my Daisy SO BAD!! He barked and and growled and snarled through the x-pen I had set up to keep them separated. But once they got a chance to sniff each other through the fence and get adjusted a bit, once the introduction was made, just shy of two weeks after he got here, he was fine.

Brady is a little rambunctious when he is out for his walks and needs a little more leash training but she is fine with that. Other than that they are doing great!! She and her family adore them and they have adjusted to the move just fine. So happy to hear. So all's good with Brady and Rudy!! I have enclosed some pics she sent me.....enjoy!!
