Charlies_Dad Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Sometimes there is a special greyhound who touches so many people from afar. No particular reason but they just reach out and grab your heart. Ranchie was one of these exceptional personalities that seem to gather people together. Perhaps that is the biggest part of his legacy. Thank you for loving Ranchie and know that we grieve with you. Amen. Run free Ranchie boy, you were a fighter and so deserved to be with us longer.

Guest ArtysPeople Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Thank you for working as hard as you did to help Xtra Ranch. The awful fact is that sometimes, no matter what you do, it's not enough, but you never know it at the time. Run free sweet Ranch boy.

Fiona3 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I am so sorry to read this news about Ranch. Everyone tried so hard - he could not have had better care anywhere else.

CaliforniaGreys Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 For every pup who passes, my heart breaks, but this one has ripped my heart out. Ranchie fought so hard and so long, and I am grateful to know that he was so well cared for and loved by the ones who gave their all for him.I'm grateful that Marilyn was him at the end. Ranchie deserved so much more but I guess God had other plans for him. God speed handsome boy, and run now with the angels. Please know how very much you are loved and always will be. Run free Ranch, and please watch over those who love you Quote Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nerak254 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) My heart just dropped when I read about Ranchie yesterday. It made me so sad that the fight was just too much and it was time for him to go. I am so very sorry. I know there are lots of new friends showing him the ropes.

Guest Carla Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Tears are flowing as I'm typing. I was hoping Ranchie would receive a Christmas miracle and we would all be crying tears of joy instead of tears of sorrow. Thank all of you who helped this dear boy, you are his true angels. I know he is smiling down upon you, thanking you for everything you did for him. Godspeed Sweet Xtra Ranch, you were loved and are now greytly missed.

Guest goofydog Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I am so sorry to read this post. Thank you for making every effort to save this sweet boy. Through it all he stayed a loving and giving hound and that knew you were only trying to help him. Thanks for all the work you all put forward on his behalf and to Marilyn for being there with him when it was time to let him go. There is a special place in heaven for all of you where you will meet him again. And hopefully a spot for him in Grey Haven's Memory Garden with the other special hounds. Godspeed Ranchie.

Zachary Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Rest easy now Ranch, the pain is gone and you are once again whole and healthy. You followed in the long tradition of greyhound courage and endurance. You fought a hard battle; but did not allow your beautiful spirit and loving personality to waver despite the pain and fear you must certainly have felt. You were a lover and were, in turn, loved by so many. We grieve for the life that might have been. We cheer for the champion you were. There have been many before you, Ranch, and there will be many more to join you across the Rainbow Bridge. The experienced Bridge Kids will teach you all the special places and you, in turn, will teach those that follow. Bless you, sweet boy. Run fast, run free. Thank you to the extraordinary group that did so much for Ranch during his long illness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
