RIP Bruno Baby

Yes, you read that right. :( Our little Bruno, who in the end wasn't really ours, but we still loved him and loved seeing him, passed Monday night.  Mama Katey (his new mama) let him outside to use the bathromm. She heard him barking and then his bark changed. By the time Mama Katey could get to Bruno, something a bit larger and stronger (than a 6 month old, 7lb. pup) got to Mr. Brumeister first.

The news made my heart hurt something bad. The only thing worse was having to tell the kids. As soon as the words were out of my mouth, Caedmon was in tears. He wanted to know everything: how it happened, what happened, where Bruno's body was now, what happened to the coyote or fox that attacked Bruno. Savannah waited for Caedmon to react before she knew how to react (it was kind of sweet on her part because she didn't really understand), but knew it wasn't good news.

So in memory of sweet Bruno Brumeister... we love you Bru Bru and we'll never forget you or how stinking sharp your little teeth were, or how you used to latch on to the bottom of our pants and we'd pull you along or the way you would spaz out whenever we tried to walk you on a leash. You'll be very missed my little friend.
