I remember when my brother-in-law first got him, we did not think he was going to survive because he was so young...we accepted the challenge of weaning him (his mother had died) and I left round the clock instructions for my husband (boyfriend at the time) and his brothers.
I can remember laughing at them when they had sleepless nights - not because he was sick or anything, but because Rambo felt that the best time to play was between the hours of 2am-6am :-) The boys always sounded like they were taking care of an actual baby...and they truly took care of him...I could never recount all of the stories of loyalty... Rambo walked with us and protected us from danger, escorted our vehicles out of the corner, and happily greeted us when we arrived at the house. He had this funny way of assisting you to open the car door, and I honestly think that his tail wagged him and not vice-versa.
He was such a humble dog who made friends with all of the other animals that came through the household - that included rabbits, cats, and other dogs. He was never violent unless he felt that the family was threatened. He was so intelligent!
I am grateful that we had the opportunity to have him, and I will miss his quirky ways. I don't know when we are going to get another dog, but I do know that no one can replace him.
