Yep and almost squeezes me out!

I do still miss Abe,but Vegas helped me come to terms with loosing him so early on in his short life.On sunday,i popped upto the rehoming shelter to get Vegas some more food/treats and someone outside the shop had a Rottie.I instantly made a beeline for them and the couple said i was the only person who came over to say hello-everyone else was giving them a wide berth!
I explained that i used to have one so dont fear the breed-which made them quite happy.

Looking forward though-Vegas has a wonderful personality and is always so happy to meet people.
He has made plenty of doggie friends like:
Sadie-GSD
Molly-Doggue de Bordeux
Fizz-Border Collie x
Bella-Border Collie
Holly-Boxer
Elvis (yes really!)-Boxer
Meg-Terrier x
Bella-Retriever
Lucy-Whippet
Ebony-Whippet
Lola (sisters dog)-Boxer
Tuppence (sisters other dog)-Border Collie x
Ali-Boxer
Ollie-Retriever
Rolo-Choccy Lab
Max-Rottweiler

+ numerous other dogs which run over to play with him.

Saturday mornings are like Crufts round here and dog ownership is definetly high!

Hi Steve,
This is thefirst time I have seen Abe and what a sweetie,
Its so hard when you lose your best mate, but he will be waiting at the bridge for you

Abe was a gorgeous dog,i lost a dog at 41/2 through cancer and it is very hard,Vegas looks great and is lucky to of found you.

Great photo's Steve.Coincidently im called Steve and i lost my Rottie, Duke to cancer although we were lucky to have him until he was nearly ten.The whole family were devestated at his loss and it has taken us a while to get another dog.

sorry stve this is the first time i had seen this thread i loved the pics of your dogs and think vagas is lovely

Vegas is gorgeous :smt049

Abe sounds like he was a truely magnificant dog and as others have said a true ambassador for his breed. Love the pics steve and so glad that you shared his life and his story with us.

Can't wait for Vegas updates now
