Today is a special day--my little Rondo's third birthday. He's no longer here. Bone cancer took him in March after a seven month battle. So short of a time together. So much love for a long time...
Top Eleven Things I Remember (and Loved) About Rondo 
11- His soft, brown, barely curly, sometimes Rasta-ish hair
10- His tail always wagging
9- Falling down when he lifted his only rear leg to pee
8- His muddy nose when he was digging in the backyard
7- Picking him up in Ft. Sumner and holding him all the way home, wondering whether he was really a poodle
6- His little pink cast when he was a puppy
5- Running out to bark first thing in the morning
4- Plunking himself on top of us in bed and being perfectly content no matter how uncomfortable we were
3- Checking on me in the bathroom (and everywhere else)
2- Getting excited about his babble ball and chasing it all over
1- He loved me!
