“Rustle”
CH Shogun’s Nonsuch Tradition! CGC (04/09/05-03/03/20)

Thoughts from Margaret…
Today we said goodbye to a wonderful, amazing boy. Rustle had so many humans who loved him.....Helen Marshall, Marianne Donner-Stone, Lori Pittman, myself and most importantly, daddy... Tim Pittman

To all of those who wanted to see Rustle “one more time” at the 2020 Clumber Spaniel National, he planned to be there. We wanted him to be there. He tried so hard to hang in just a little longer, but he faded away from us.

Rustle was a Clumber who produced so many amazing offspring. He left the breed better for being here. Run free Rustle!

Thoughts from Tim…
Rustle came to live with me in January 2008 for what was supposed to be a 9 month stay. Due to a wide variety of circumstances, plans changed and he spent the rest of his life with me. Today, he passed on to his next challenge just a month shy of 15 years of age.

Today, Margaret and I both grieve as he passes, yet we celebrate the very long and loving life he had. Not a day went by that he did not make us laugh at his actions, marvel at his gusto for life (and meals!) and be the head man in charge of the household. As you can expect for a 15 year old Clumber Spaniel, his body was worn down and finally it was obvious that his days with us were over.

Rustle will forever live in our hearts and memories. Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!
