It might help him Rusty, let him try.
It has helped a few people I know and my little dog could hardly walk a few years back and we got him some at a pet store and I am telling you he could walk and I do think it helped him at the end, didn’t not seem to be in any pain.
Praying for your son, dear heart.
Thanks. My morning got off t1o a great start. I was still laying in bed and my cat decided to jump over my face, got two huge scratches, one on forehead and one on my temple. I’m glad it wasn’t my eye.
CALLER: Thank you so very much. Kathryn, thank you for coming back on. (choking up) I’m gonna try to keep it together. I wanted to ask you if you would tell us some reminiscences about Rush with your animals. I’ve been listening to him for decades and remember hearing him talk about Punkin. And he was a cat guy.
And then when you came into his life, you brought the dogs, and you didn’t just get any dogs. You got old English sheepdogs. That’s a lot of dog! (laughing) And I would… I have a Spinone Italiano. I’ve had a golden retriever. So I’m a big dog person, medium to big dog person.
So when you got a sheepdog, I said, “Holy heck!” But I would love to hear about Rush with your dogs. I know he loved all your animals. I also just wanted to say (choking up), I’m so very sorry, and I think about you and I think about Rush every day. And it gives me a little bit of peace to think about Rush playing golf with all the greats.
KATHRYN: Absolutely.
KATHRYN: And again, I am so sorry for your loss. I hear it in your voice, and I share that sentiment as well as so many who are listening. But an uplifting story in terms of the dog and Punkin and Allie. So Rush absolutely loved his cat. That definitely was a first love. (laughing) Punkin was primary, and then after Punkin passed, I drove up actually to Jacksonville to find a Punkin number 2, and I did.
I brought back a surprise in Allie, the cat. So Rush absolutely loved this cat. It was so funny to see them together because here he is, this larger-than-life person who just came off the radio speaking to millions and now he’s really being run (laughing) by this little cat, Allie, who wanted to be fed and petted and everything. But he adored her.
She slept right next to him in bed and actually woke him up often to go and be fed. But in terms of the dogs, he loved them. So we started with one, Abbey, who is the queen of the pack, and then we continued on with four. So we have four very large and hairy old English sheepdogs who we consider our kids. (laughing) And Rush was definitely the sweeter of the two of us to them.
I adored them, but I was a strict rule enforcer, but he was not. He would always give them extra treats and extra biscuits. So they loved him. Whenever I was away, he would make sure that he was raiding the biscuit jar and giving them all plenty of treats.
So he loved to call himself Mr. Dog Biscuit, and he said, “They only love me because I’m Mr. Dog Biscuit.” (laughing) I said, “No, they love you for more than that,” but… So he was great with them. He loved to walk in the yard with them and always went in before work or after work and said, “Abbey!” Abbey was certainly his favorite out of the group.
