Saying goodbye to our Evil Rat Dog, Bandit
Family humor is often the best humor, Bandit was named the Evil Rat Dog because he bit me when I brought him home. Barbara called me a bully and took over. It took several years for this little rescue dog to trust. His personality inched out very slowly over a long time, years. But in his adulthood he was our little watch dog. Nobody got to come in the RV unless they were first Bandit approved.
He put up with grandkids and big dogs and playful cats. He would quietly and slowly come up to you and snuggle in. Once he got over his fear he became a very loving friend. No matter what was going on, he was just happy to be here.
He had congestive heart failure at the age of 13. He has gone to join his other friends Mocha (RIP at 14, heart failure) and Opie (RIP at 13, cancer). They made quite the trio for many years.
It's hard to say goodbye.
In the end he was no longer an Evil Rat Dog, he was our little Boogie Bear.Dallas

Dang Dallas. We just went through that last year and it is so hard. Sounds like the little guy was lucky to have you and you were lucky to have him!

Dogs can be the greatest things in life. They can also be the hardest thing to except when their time comes to an end.

So sorry to hear. They're family. Sounds like quite a pack waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Dallas - Sorry to hear this. Most pet owners our age have gone through this (usually more than once) . . . not that it ever gets any easier. Just know that we understand.

Ditto the sentiments already conveyed, no matter how many times we say goodbye to our fur family members it still hurts.
Koda and Gizmo also send their sympathies.Marcy & Gary

Never easy. We are approaching the 1 year anniversary of our friends passing. Through everything all he wanted was to be with us. Never complained, stoic and loving soul. Excuse me as it seems there may be something in my eye.

Funny how these little guys stake their claims and end up owning a part of your soul. Not a day goes by that I don't say hi to my best buddies, even though they're gone.
We are lucky for the time we had with them.

Dallas and Barbara, we are sorry for the loss of your beloved Bandit. They come into our lives, and take over our hearts, and when leave us, they take a huge piece of our heart with them. As said before, they are waiting for us at the " Rainbow Bridge " .
Be at peace.
Again, our sympathy for your loss.

So sorry to hear this Dallas. I recall some time ago you writing about Bandit, and the write up painted a great picture of your friend. It was quite humorous. Blessings your way my friend.
