Blue Rhino has passed away : (

[Rottie]

Today was a very sad day for the stuffed dog toy world. Blue Rhino, the most favorite squeaky toy of the house passed away this morning.

After getting a hole about the size of a quarter in his leg on Saturday, he was immediatly rushed to the vet. Doc said that the hole wasn't big enough to cause problems and that it would heal on its own. The injury was doing just fine until an unnamed suspect found the hole and started to pull out and shred the insides of Blue Rhino. This damage was beyond repair and Blue Rhino was sadly put of of his misery this morning around 8:00.

Blue Rhino will be missed by all who have ever met him. He was a wonderful little guy with 2 squeakers in him. He could cheer anyone up by just being there.

Poor Blue Rhino, our condolences to Carl. If there's a Rainbow Bridge for pets, maybe there's a Plaid Bridge or something for stuffies?

I think Blue Rhino did his job taking care of Carl, now it is his time to pass on to some other needy friend. Maybe Perry would share his blue rabbit with him, although I don't know he takes it to bed with him everynight.

Today is a sad day in the stuff toy world. Stuffed Donkey and Stuffed Lion in our home carried on as usual, playing with Jeffrey and Bandit, but you culd see their hearts weren't in it. Their thoughts were with their fallen comrade. Please observe a moment of silence in honor of Blue Rhino.

I was going to post but I can't; I can't stop laughing. Oh I have to say something, this is so tragic. Oh, poor, poor Blue Rhino. Hopefully he is in squeekum heaven. Star and Cody are inconsolable and have taken to their beds with their own stuffies. Our sympathy to poor Carl. He must be devastated. "Rhino..."He lived hard...He died hard.

You guys are too much!!!! Yes Buddy feels very sad and says he will be really careful with his frosty the snowman doll and will never hurt it again! He is very sad that the Blue Rhino has passed on.

Rottie, I just wanted to tell you that Carl is a very handsome Rottweiler. I showed him to my husband and he thought he was a beauty.
Quite a long time ago we had a female Rottweiler and I named her Kate, after Katherine Hepburn who I admired. She was really sweet. I think Carl looks like the Carl in the "Carl" books.

I read the subject of this post and prepared myself for a tearjerker. Well I did end up having tears but that was just from laughing

Squeakies only last in my house about 5 minutes before they are put to sleep. I think I spend more buying dog toys than I do on anything else, hehe.

This may sound gross to some, but:
we have a toy box full of unstuffed animals! There are bodies all over the place. Shiloh and Killian are stuffed animal killers!

Daisy here. Carl, I'm real sorry 'bout Blue Rhino. If your ead my post a while back about the death of Pink Bunny, you would see that I understand whatcher goin' through. Nothin' will ever replace Blue Rhino. Don't ferget 'bout him. He and Pink Bunny are at the Rainbow Bridge now. I think we should have a moment of silence. All you other doggies with yer toys still, no squeakin' today in memory of all toys gone before us.
Deepest Sympathies and Howls,
Daisy

Awww...I'm sorry about double squeaker Blue Rhino!! But, fear not, luckily for my Cody-meister, squeaky toy master of the world, especially at 3am...I, his beloved owner secretly replaced HIS double squeaky blue Rhino thru a catalog and unbeknownst to him, bought 5! I know you can never replace, the 1st one, but, Rottie, Email me and if interested, I think I can still tell you where to get them (pssst...on sale!!!) In fact, Cody gave some out as Xmas gifts this year to his dog pals!

Rachel....unless I'm mistaken, doesn't Hannah have a confession to make about little Lamby.
