We lost a good friend today.. One of our grand-dogs, Reptar crossed the  rainbow bridge today surrounded by his co-dog daddy’s , . max, jj, pat and chris.  They were all college roommates and called   themselves the original ninja turtles. Max and his friends found Reptar on the street back in 2008. He was a jack russell terrier, already an old dog.. no one knows how old . He had cataracts already. He also had several bee bee pellets still under his skin. Max and freinds tried to find his hoe. they even found that he had a chip in him.. when they tracked down his formr owner, she didn’t want him back. From then on, Reptar lived with at least one of the guys until…. well… until today.  

kn ow one knows how old he was.. but it must have been some where between 17 and 19 .. it was definitely his time..   Max flew in from Santa Fe to say goodbye. 

We were thinking of him up here.. I swear I could feel him go up here.. 

Max would bring him up from Brooklyn to get a little fresh air with us sometimes.. He was a bundle of energy and made of solid mussel. I still remember how hard that little dog would pull on the leash, He was always burrowing, ripping, tearing. but he was so sweet. He’d jump up and sleep with  us sometimes.. even our dogs are not allowed to do that.. You can see in these pics that our dogs never knew what their city cousin was thinking 

Reptar had a great life.. at least the part we knew him.. I dont think I know an animal who had more folks who knew and loved him

the world is  a little less feisty now..   but life and love go on

 

we’ll all miss you Reptar

 

nite all, nite sam
