Titus, From Giants

This past Friday I said goodbye to Titus, my bubby. He was 11 years old. He would have been 12 in December. He lived a really good life. I got Titus in 2005 (I think) when I lived in a one bedroom apartment and already had one lab, Maya. Titus was the last puppy in his litter and I just couldn't resist. Both the dam and sire were chocolate labs that were over 110 lbs. each, solid muscle. I knew Titus was going to be a big boy, and he sure was! He was a good dog. He did exactly what a dog is supposed to do....He did his job as a companion, friend, and bubby. He will be missed. 

"Once you've had a wonderful dog, a life without one, is a life diminished" (Dean Kootnz). 

I have lost all of his puppy photos due to my old computer crashing, but I have a few pictures of him when he was younger. 

This was February 2010 in Memphis. We had a big snow and we took the dogs to the park. 

The 2 pictures above are from Lake Catherine in AR. Titus used to dive/fish for rocks and actual fish. Strange little bubby but he loved it! He'd stick his whole head under water! lol

That was his couch. He kept me company all day and followed me around the house while I did housework, etc. 

Shelby Farms - He loved to swim and was by far the fastest dog in the water I have ever seen. He would have swam until he sank. 

Shelby Farms - I have never seen Titus happier

Watching Tim clean a duck for the 1st time....Then Titus when on to shred the duck. 

This is probably the youngest picture I have...I think he was 3 or 4. 

  

I know this post is not very interesting to most, but I wrote it selfishly for me. I needed to do this. I loved that dog so much and he was there for me through so much. For those that know me, you know that my dogs are my children. Well, I lost one of my children. It hurts my heart that he is gone, but I know he is not longer in pain. So please hang in there with me and I promise future updates will be better. :)

by His grace,
