{APOLLO}


I want to extend my sympathies to my mom-in-law, who recently lost her best friend of 13 years.......her very beloved rottie named Apollo. He was absolutely the most loving rottweiller I've ever known, and so very smart. He was always very gentle, but he was also the most alert guard dog! He loved to chase flies, the occasional squirrel, and I think all of the cats in the neighborhood knew to steer clear of Apollo's wrought iron fence!
His bones and body were riddled by arthritis and exhaustion, but you would never know how much pain he was in because he always put our emotions ahead of his own.........always loving, always there to comfort us.
We had him cremated, because we could not bear having him buried so far away from us. He's ready to come home now, and where ever he is, we know he's happy and playing with our other "little ones" we've lost over the years.
Hug your animals and tell them how much you love them....

(This picture was taken a few weeks before he died, and yes, he always smiled like that!)
