One Rider Down for the Roving Riders

We knew it was coming. DM is called an insidious disease. Knowing does not make facing it any easier. 

August 10, 2020, Rupert fell into forever sleep on Mike's lap, at a great Vet's office in Rapid City, SD. 

Early Tuesday morning, the 11th of August, Mike watched a lightning storm behind a hill over Rapid City from our site here in the Black Hills. Then, a meteor burst across and into the lightning cloud, "exploding" and disappearing. 

Rupert made his entry to the Rainbow Bridge.

He joined the Paws and Friends December 2010, 6 months into our full-timing adventure. He loved riding:  in the motorhome, in the pickup, in the car, in the Blue Buggy, in his chariot behind Mike's bike... He LOVED going, being with his people wherever we went. 

We miss that silly guy! (Maddie not so much, if she were asked, and if she could actually tell any listener. ..) We do cherish the memories! We are adjusting. It has taken some time for us to get used to a new routine. We are making headway. 

We received this, in the card from the Vets:
