In May of 2010, our son brought a very special friend into our lives. Tim adopted a dog through petfinder.com. On a Friday evening in May, we traveled to Martinsburg, WV, to bring Titus home.
Titus was a beautiful brindle-mix who was full of energy and loved life. Titus took advantage of any and every opportunity to play and to chew! He chewed whatever came into his path--shoes, pillows, sofas, chairs. You name it, and Titus chewed it! He loved to play ball and enjoyed the company of other dogs, especially his buddy, Belle.
Titus loved to chase things, too. He'd chase our beagle, Miss Belle, all around the house and the backyard. He'd chase leaves and balls. On the 4th of July, we learned that he loved to chase water coming out of water fountains. Winter brought snow into Titus's life. And he loved snow, rolling in it and tossing it.
Titus loved to eat. He loved ice cream and hamburgers. He loved treats and dog bones. A rustle in the kitchen would send him bounding to see what you were doing.
But Titus really loved my son. They were best buddies. Titus's entire body would wag when he saw Tim. He'd jump and cry. Watching the two of them play in the backyard was always lots of fun. They'd roll on the ground and run.
Titus's life ended all too soon with a tragic accident on January 11, 2011. He will forever be in our hearts. Our friend and my son's special buddy. Rest in peace, Titus. You were truly loved.
