Rontu, the Dog of the Day
Name: Rontu
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Male Breed: Irish setter, Field setter
Home: Oregon, USA
 
   Hi my name is Rontu (pronounced Ron2). I am ten years old and still trying to live every day to its fullest. I love to go running and play ball but my arthritis holds me back so instead my human mom and sister take me on walks as often as they can. My mouth can be sensitive at times so my family puts warm water on my kibble to make it soft and warm.

    I have a doggy brother and sister that are both younger than me. My brother, who is the one year old can be quite a bother but I try to accept him and love him all the same. My doggy sister loves me so much she licks me and can tell if I am hurting she even told my mom ( using doggy language) when I had a seizure one time. I am a very sensitive of the feelings of my family I comfort them by never leaving their side especially if I can tell they are sad or not feeling well.

    I try my very hardest to be a good dog, but when my family is away I dig through the trash because I am upset. I know how to play dead and speak on command and I am very good at chasing cats. My favorite thing in the world is going on a car ride with the window down, it makes me feel like I am running, only without the arthritis pain. I know I may not have much longer but right now I am living the best life possible because my family loves me and that's all that matters.
