Around 2005, Randy got a new responsibility: A girl joined his owner's family. Here, he meets that girl. For 7 years, he greeted, played with, and watched over my niece whenever she came out to the farm.
But one day, he got a more important summons and he had to leave.
Goodbye, Randy.
This was drawn from a photograph of Randy greeting my niece for the first time. When I learned GreyKitty was doing realistic pictures of pets, I commissioned her to redraw the photograph as a full scene and gave prints of it to my family that Christmas.
Sadly, Randy Rottshep was diagnosed with cancer and put to sleep on July 14, 2012.
