The summer is almost over, and kids are going back to school. What a perfect time for a heat wave to hit us! That has kind of put a damper on our outdoor activities, too dangerous to spend any time outside.
I have come up with a creative nickname for myself. A few weeks ago, I told Mommy and Daddy I wanted to be called Poochy. I don't know why, it just felt right. Well, being a part of this "crazy" family means every nickname eventually evolves to something else. Daddy gets the prize for this one. He changed my nickname to El Poochino. It's supposed to be after some famous actor from years ago. It has a nice ring to it, so I am keeping it. Stay tuned for some funny lines and send-offs from "El Poochino."
We think social media helped Rudy's Little World a bit last week. A nice group of kidney moms on Facebook contacted us. They were interested in our dialysis and transplant books. It feels good to help. We sold nine books. And helped them feel better. That's what Rudy's Little World is all about.
As many of you know, it has been a hard year on our family. Health issues and our Rudy going to heaven have hit us hard. This year, we are doing something special for the Kidney Walk in October. We participate every year, but this year has added significance. We are doing it in loving memory of Rudy. It is also to show support for our family who has been through so much. Please strongly consider joining our team and show your support. We need the physical sign of unity. Collecting donations is voluntary, not necessary. Your presence is the important thing.
It's Saturday October 12th at Thompson Reuters Campus in Eagan. Signup, free food and entertainment start at 9am. Walk is from 10 to 11am. More free food and entertainment follow and last until noon. You may leave any time. All of our walkers receive a free "Team Rudy" T-shirt - another sign of unity and support. It's what Rudy would have wanted and loved.
Thank you from his family.
Love,
Boomer! the Mellow Yellow Lab aka El Poochino "Let me introduce you to my little friend." (it's Crush, my orange ball!)
