Description
You ever have your kids bring home a dog and say can we keep him? Raven was that Dog to me.
I saw he was a Rotty, he was still a puppy with big paws... I went through the questioning where'd ya find him... I tried different approaches to get rid of the dog - lol... there were 3 dogs I never wanted to have - 1. a pit bull, 2. a doberman pincher and 3. the Rotty...
my kids and X talked me into keeping him... and I'm glad they did... what a life Raven had. After I went through the divorce, the X got in trouble for Raven being out of the yard 3 times, 1st was a $100 fine, 2nd was a $300 fine and the 3rd - $1,000 or get rid of the dog... so, Raven went up to the Mountains to live with my sister on a fenced 7 achre property. Raven had it made up there you would think, by my Sister had horses and Raven got too close one day and had half his teeth kicked out of his mouth. He was taken to the vet and nursed back to health Later, my oldest son (who was the rightful owner of the dog) came to live with me and my New Wife back in 2003... Aaron (My Son) asked to have Raven back, We got him and then my Son moved out - lol... I had Raven again, a Dog I loved that I never wanted but was the gentelest giant of a dog you'd ever know. In 2007 I lost my job, I lost my home... My Wife and I went up to the Cabin and Raven stayed with us durring those 4.5 months. When we were done working on the Cabin and it was time to go back to the City, my Brother in Law who had him before took him in and said he was his dog and no one else can get him back... I found out on Facebook Raven had passed away in June of 2011. It was sad... but then I was overwhelmed with happiness because I learned Raven had puppies and my Brother in law kept two of them.
the picture of Raven was taken in the summer of 2007.... the smaller picture is of his Grave and puppys whome I still haven't met or know their names.

A super collage of your dear friend and he sounds to have had an eventful life. Great to look back and remember him.
Aww sorry for your lose :-( Cute puppies and a great devo shot
It's a nice dog erland
I can see the love in those eyes.
Such a wonderful and cute capture Mike, i am sorry to hear about the loss my friend...I know he was a great friend for you.
...quando i nostri ragazzi crescono bisogna trovare il coraggio di lasciarli andare; immaginiamo che anche per questo tuo cane,sia stato lo stesso! ;-) Bellissima foto. 5* :)
I also lost my friend Rotty! Her name was Buffy, she lived for a growling ghost behind me! Seriously ..... She looked beyond me and snarling ugly but never attacked me! when he came to live with me she slept with an old mattress and slept there all night with her slobbering on my neck! It was fantastic! One day my nephew was with Buffy and decided to take on my neck with his mouth and I run from one side to the other but believe me, I suffered a scratch and the vet said it was dangerous enough to close the mouth Buffy and I'd be in heaven (at is where I think I will one day!) Laughter .... a friend needed a blueprint for his kennel and there was Buffy! But I miss and keep the good times and pictures of her! It was too much and purpose: the animals has no malice but humans who create them yes!! these human beings and I'm afraid! great moments with Buffy !!!
Excellent dog!!!
She was family to you..thanks for sharing Mike..:)
touching story my friend and a damned good shot!!!
Sigh. Mike .. you know I have tears in my eyes after reading this. For you, For Raven, It's just all so sad .. but in a way it was good, too, because I think Raven never suffered, he was always with people who loved him, he was never abused. But I know the pain you feel, the pain you felt .. sigh. Having a dog is the closest we probably can come to feeling unconditional love ... Raven was a handsome boy. And Mike, I've never known a Rotty that wasn't loving, sweet and marvelously gentle. Course I've only known a couple of them. A perfect tribute to a Prince of a Dog!
adorable!!!!!
miqual jacksony wrote and sang a song abut it.... BAD
Isn't it amazing just how much of an impact a dog can have on our lives? He looks like he was a sweetheart of a dog too. Deepest condolences on his loss, but life does go on through those beautiful pups of his.
