Ha Ha! Amy's sister had Eli's brother , R.J., who died 3 years ago this summer. He was like Eli....very loved by all. Anyway, before he died Jan brought in a rescue black lab puppy. Rudy. Well, he was something else. He's much better now, but was a handful (especially for Grammy ) It was Amy who nick named him "The Rude" .....but then for more stories, you'll have to ask Amy about ALL her nick names ....all of our dogs had at least 4 names from her from day one. ( My favorite was one of Eli's after he was neutered......"Fuzzy Nutless".......
