We celebrated Rusty's 2nd birthday yesterday!  Twelve of his dog park friend’s parents celebrated his
birthday with him; he was very appreciative to see them, as he misses them as
much as their dogs.  Rusty was the
perfect host and they all marveled over how well he is doing.  He even gave them a demonstration of his
surfin’ ability, although with some hesitation as he has never surfed in front
of a live audience before.  Rusty’s
actual birthday was Friday and we took him to In-n-Out Burger for his
favorite fast food, two meat patties.  We
decorated the house with doggy balloons, fire hydrant and a replica of his
favorite Sun City dog park.

His six month Ampuversary was last Sunday the 25^th;
we are still amazed at how well he has coped with everything that has been
thrown at him during that time period.  All
of his guests commented that his personality has not been affected with all of
the things he has been through; he greeted everyone with love and kisses!  We can’t believe that six months have elapsed
since Rusty began his fight against cancer. We are hoping for another six months,
but will take each day that he is with us as a blessing.  He will see Dr. Macy on the 11^th
at which time we will find out what his new Chemo treatment program will
be. 

Happy birthday, Rusty!  Looks like you celebrated in style!  Here's wishing you many more!
