I found DJ this morning. I'm in a bit of shock right now. I had a feeling it wouldn't be long bc I'd been seeing several born in 2008 for memorial posts on GooseMoose, but I honestly thought he'd make it to his 3rd birthday before it happened. And he was soo close..
DJ was one of two keepers from my first litter. He was just like his dad Dobbie. Calm, living, gentle, adorable..I wish so much that I'd had a little better warning. I'd have held him a bit longer, given him more one on one time. Instead, he probably saw a little less bc of the holiday season..
Poor DJ, my little gentle fair alpha until he was replaced this year. He stepped down from the 'throne' through a little bit of battle, but he held his own very well. And never let Kerrigan get the best of him. I think he made it easy for Kerrigan bc he was just tired. He got lounge around a lot afterward.
DJ had wonderful health. He went through his entire life with only a sniffle once or twice. And of course cataracts at the end. They'd become a lot more obvious lately, which made me worry, but there was nothing to be done. Other than that, he was still a wheel running ladies man.Goodbye DJ..
Its not going to be the same without you. You've always been here and this marks the end of an era at RRR. He was the last of our originals.
I have his children and grandchildren to help ease the loss. DJ was always a great dad to his kids when he got supervised playtime. He was always attentive and loving to them. His grandson has inherited his personality and we hope to see more generations of his family.
