I am back!  I first signed up here over a year ago to find a group of people that understand the loss of your pets. I found companionship and ultamatly another Rottweiler.Rio n.

Rion was my special Rottie rescue after losing 2 rotties (12.5 and 8.5 years) I lost them in 6 months of each other. I was shattered. So along came Rion my blind rottweiler that filled the hole in my heart. I taught Rion to answer to voice commands, he taught me patience. I taught him to trust again and that the world is not all bad, he paid me back in kisses and endless love. I lost Rion after only 1 year of having him suddenly to Cancer. He was only 3 years old. I was shattered once again. 3 rotties in 18 months!!!

I tried again and now rescued yet another disposed of Rottweiler. He was found runnning the streets of Michigan and had used all his time up in the shelter and was going to be gassed. I took on my King who is named now KONA. He is in my pic and he is very majestic and looks/acts like a king. Kona has also allowed me into his guarded life and filled my heart.

I learned from the loss of my Rion that these rescued dogs are a blessing and ones that should be treasured. I miss my Rion the lion and will be eternally grateful for extending his heart and trust after he had such a rough start to life. He passed being loved and was treated like the gem he was- its what I hold onto to help with his sudden and devastating loss.

I have another dog a lab- my faithful Rugby, I love her to bits but life is not complete without coming home to a waggin nub.

Pic #1 is Rion my blind little sugar
Pic #2 is Kona my nlt so little King

I have a little black lab that is all of 55 lbs that loves nothing more to take my freshly made bed and ball it into a pile of blankets and sleep right on top! She is a little monkey like that. Rion can't get up on the bed in case he falls off (going blind) and thank got cause that lump (90lbs) would hog the whole bed.

Someone told me a long time ago to feed your dog a daily tab of vitamin C and it changes the PH of the urine to prevent grass burning. I don't know how true this is but since starting it years ago we always had green grass- at one time we had 6 dogs in our house (Rugby was the smallest). I feed my guys one chewable Vitamin C tab a day, the grass stays green, their immune systems are strong, and they love the extra treat!

Sorry to hear things fell through.
I'm not sure how far you are from Michigan but I just got the sweetest Rottweiler from them and there is another that they are looking to adopt out. Arlene from the Rottie Rescue is a peach and she is true to her word. If not a dane how about a sweetheart Rottweiler named BEHR?

Take a look

Hello all, I have been a little awol. Rugby and I have been hunting for a big brother and finally I go the call last Friday. With help from the Michigan Rottweiler Rescue (arlene) I found one.  I drove 5 hours down to Michigan to adopt an 18 month old stray that no one would touch b/c he was going blind!

Well I walked around the corner of the Shelter and there is saw the most gorgeous gentle beast I have laid eyes on.In a 1/2 second i knew that I wanted him. RION (new name) came home with me to Canada where he has made himself at home. We have been adjusting to his bumping into things and Rugby is the best lil helper and helps guide him around.

Here a few pics of the new man in mine and Rugby's life!

and yes i am that geeky proud new mom!

Thanks for all the "welcome messages" me and rugby will be chilling here a lot!

And phelan i think you might win this tug of war now!
