| Rudy was a permanent fixture at Woofers since the store opened in Sep '93 until his passing on Saturday March 14th, 2008. He would have been fifteen this June.
All of Woofers' customers knew Rudy and some would come visit him even if they didn't need anything for their own pets that day. Rudy especially loved the ladies; he always had a happy little peep or catcall whistle for them. He made all our customers feel welcome and, for his favourites, he would see them in the parking lot and get all excited - peeping and running back and forth on top of his cage. He would waste no time in jumping on to them as soon as they were close enough. Rudy will be missed by Woofers' customers and staff, his family, alike. One of his favourite customers didn't believe that he recognized her from the parking lot, and if he recognized anything, she said, it had to be her very vibrant winter jacket. We told her that it was her face he was responding to and when spring came, Rudy had the same response to her with her non-vibrant, navy blue raincoat. She loved how he made her feel welcome and that birdie- hello will be missed. | |||||||
