See Ya Later, Noodle's Good Buddies


More than  three years ago, Ruby had a "misunderstanding" with the neighbours dog.  It came to light that in Oak Bay (a very anal community - think of it as one huge homeowners assocation) you are permitted to have two dogs only, unless you had more than two when they passed the bylaw.

As a result, Noodles had to vacate the premises for a few days.  She went to stay at Don and Roses' during the day and became buddies with their dogs, Lola and Bronx.  She always acted like she was happy to see Phil when he went to pick her up, but Janet and Phil are pretty sure she had a good time with them.  All this culminated in Ruby doing an Idi Amin and becoming a "dictator in exile" in PDX.

Lola was ill for some time, and passed away shortly after Christmas.  All the Stubbs family and Brownyn were very sad.  Sadly, Bronx, who was not ill, died very suddenly on 07 March.  Rose thinks he died of a broken heart as he just wasn't himself after Lola passed away.

Now, they romp together in the biggest doggie park in the world, where the word "NO" is a foreign language and there are endless cookies and tummy rubs!

Janet and Phil and us doggies feel very sad for especially Don and Rose, but also Mike and Bronwyn and Laura and Scott.

These are not actual pictures of Lola and Bronx, but photos of the type of dogs they were.  Lola was Dogue-de-Bordeaux.  Envision Lola with drool, lots of drool!  She was big, but very sweet.


This is kind of what Bronx looked like.  Bronx was a very funny guy!
