Todd Blacksher had made a post back in 2018 to the old SOLIDWORKS Forum and like most popular, long, image filled posts, Dassault absolutely disassembled it in the migration to the SWYMp. The post requested that people post pictures of their pets.
Last Thursday, my wife and I had to say goodbye to this guy, after a brief, brave fight with lymphoma:
Rudy was only 10 years old, and only after his passing did we realize how much of our lives revolved around him. He was what’s known as a ‘reactive’ dog, which for him meant that anyone who wasn’t me, my wife, or his pal Utah:
was the enemy. Full stop. So, for ten years, we did what was necessary to keep him safe and happy while also keeping the few guests and visitors we’ve had from interacting with him. He was basically our constant companion in the house, quietly going where we went and making sure we were ‘safe’ from whatever.
The house is now eerily quiet. Utah is still here, but her energy/vibe/whatever has always been completely different, so there’s this big empty feeling. We’ve said goodbye to many dogs over the years but this one just hit different, and I think it’s because he’s the only dog we’ve had for whom we were his entire world. Nothing important existed for him outside his pack: me, my wife and his pal Utah.
In honor of Rudy, post some pics of your pets in happier times.
