Nine months ago my female pit gave birth to 13 puppies. Tragically 3 passed that special day. But especially 2 puppies were so precious and cute. their names soon to be Kal-El & Rusty. By golly are they beautiful inside and out. Soon to become best friends they were on their way to a forever friendship. They did everything together.

About 8 short months later Kal-El becomes missing. Having not a clue to where his brother was Rusty became so said. A few lonnnnnggg days later he's home. His brother so happy and thrilled he is home. Their bond becomes so much more.

A few short weeks later parvo come around. What a horrible thing that became upon those two precious angels. They became ill, becoming depressed so horribly. Not wanting a thing to eat. No water, it'd come right back up. Then on August 2nd of 2014 Kal-el had fought so hard, it was god's turn to take care of him now, he's slowly moving out of this world. somewhere in the middle. His brother there to say goodbye.

Kal-el okay to go he took his last breath running across the bridge, he slowly turns to say I love you Mommys, please don't ever forget, and Rusty so sad and mad, his brother's life he couldn't help no more. His best friend and companion by his side, he was able to say goodbye. But as he left he didn't forget to say, I love you mommys, please don't ever forget.
