Losing a pet is very sad for the family, but losing two in a short time span is even more heartbreaking. Sue had the pleasure of knowing both little CJ and his brother Scooby. CJ was 10 and had been with his family for 6 years. He was a sweet, affectionate little guy with a BIG dog personality. One of his favorite places to be was in his doggie bed in the middle of the action with his family, just in case a crumb hit the floor. One of his signature moves was multiple spins in a perfect circle while waiting for a cookie! He was both a cuddler and a 5 lb. guard dog. According to Sue, Scooby was an equally sweet and mellow guy, except on a walk. He would pull with excitement. He could never pass up rolling in the grass or snow except when he was “hunting,” but never catching, squirrels and bunnies. Sue misses both CJ and Scooby. Kathy took over Scooby’s walks. She noted too what a strong boy he was, but as they continued their walks, he became a joy to walk and Kathy really looked forward to their walks. Scooby always looked out the front door and watched her leave, pulling at her heartstrings. In his last few months as he became ill, they walked a little slower and spent time relaxing in the shade. She shared lots of treats and kisses with him on their last walk. Scooby and CJ had a human brother and sister, and we know that they and Mom and Dad miss them. We miss them too. Perhaps there is some solace in knowing that Scooby and CJ are together at Rainbow Bridge.
