RudyCKat's 1st Memorial Anniversary

One year ago on December 7th, 2009, Rudy boarded my Pram and together we drove across The Rainbow Bridge.  What most Pals do not know is that the same day we arrived OTRB, it was also Rudy's 2nd Birthday.  Rudy was only a young teenager when he crossed The Rainbow Bridge.

When we arrived at the Banquet Hall, Rudy slid our of my Pram, floofed his tail, then proceeded to waltz up the steps !  Waiting on the other side were all our OTRB Pals.  Rudy didn't know it, but @PuzTheCat had a beautiful Welcome Banquet Dinner waiting for him !  Rudy pawtied the night away, dancing with his buddies.

Rudy quickly set the standard for 'immaculate grooming'.  His manicured dewclaws, the way he constantly floofed his tail in all directions and the gentlemanly tossing of his mane made up us all stand on our paws and take note.   Being the generous gentleman that Rudy is, he offered to help Pals learn the art of "Floofing".    This was an instant success !  Rudy's dream of running his own Spa & Beautification Salon was now in motion.

 Finally I agreed to try Rudy's signature "Tuna & Oatmeal Spa Bath".  Warmed tuna, with just softened oatmeal, both moisturized and exfoliated me at the same time, while calming me with the heady aroma of tuna.!   And when I got peckish, it was mighty tasty too.  I couldn't wait to tell everyone about Rudy's new venture.

"Rudy's Spa & Beautification Salon"opened ! He realized his dream and we were all so excited for him !  OTRB now has it's own 12 Stars Spa !  You will not understand what "being spoiled" is, until you experience Rudy's paws !

This picture was taken on Rudy's first day of being open.   We were lined up outside, waiting for him to arrive ! BOL !  See some of our beauty secrets: 'Rudy's Rainbow Face Packs' and 'R.B. Eye Rejuvenators'.  Look how happy Rudy looks !

Rudy's Spa is the place to be for both young and old Pals.  Bookings are essential.  We sip special RB drinks get pampered !  We are truly blessed to have Rudy, but more than anything, to have him as a friend.  Rudy is a great guy, full of surprises !  Here are some Rudy facts from before he arrived OTRB: 

Rudy tried farming, but it was murder on his hair!

He then tried music, but the combination of Saxaphone and Yoga took a toll.....on his mane.

No door is Rudy proof, including fridge doors !

He tried his paw at Theatre, but it took so long to get dressed for each scene. *sigh*

Rudy loves Barktending ! He even has a secret OTRB ingredient for his own Signature drink !  Make sure you try one next time he's Barktending.

Rudy still looks after his sisfur @MaggieTKat and his new little brofur @ParkerSKat, even though he is now OTRB.

This is for Rudy's Mom:  Rudy got you this "sippi cup" with one of our Signature Rainbow Bridge songs on it:  "Born Free".

Rudy we love you and are proud of all you do !  You are a good friend to many Pals.  Our lives are richer for knowing you.  You bring us joy and laughter, plus really good hair !  BOL !
