Amity Hall's Ready To Rumba
"Rumba"

CH Raineylane Amity Hall Ambiance, TT

Rumba was not just a dog to me; he was the love of my life and best friend, but also future hope’s and dream’s of Champions to come. I knew this boy was special the first time I laid eyes on him and he filled my heart with love.

Rumba passed at 17 months young, from a rare form of Osteosarcoma which had attached itself to the 6th and 7th rib presenting as a BB size knot 2 weeks before Christmas.

I had little time to prepare; it had taken over his chest cavity in less than 2 months. I let him go peacefully here at home as I have always believed strongly that life is about quality, not quantity.

Osteosarcoma is a rapidly growing tumor of the bone usually seen in the long bones of large and giant breeds. It is rarely seen in Boxers and even less often seen in the rib and chest bones. This ugly cancer in young dogs is caused by a mutation in a gene during a growth phase that allows “out of control” cell growth.

Will my life ever be the same without you, will I ever find peace without you? Sleep Rumba, forever in my heart and soul.
