Busderpuddle Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Our sweet girl Ruby had to leave us Saturday after a slip and fall that happened about 3 weeks prior. She became painful when we touched her, she quit wagging her tail, and her eyes told us it was time. She had injured her neck in the fall, and no matter what we tried, she was in pain. The last 2 days she started to limp on her front foot. Ruby came to live with us almost 9 years ago, and what a blessing she was to us. She became my 2 year old grandsons best buddy, playing together and laying down, curled up for a nap each afternoon. They adored each other. Everyone that came to our home fell in love with her. She was gentle and quiet, and didn't wander over unless you asked her to. She was the best pup anyone could ever ask for. She was my first dog, and I fell in love instantly. We will miss her so much. RIP Our Sweet Ruby Girl with the velvety ears. Our sleeping rug. Our Old Dinosaur. Our beautiful Golden Girl. You claimed a large piece of our hearts. Until we meet again. What a joyous day that will be. Edited April 9, 2019 by Busderpuddle Quote Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
