Kathy,
I had to log off right after finding out the sad news this afternoon. I needed to cuddle with Buddy on the couch and have a good cry. Buddy didn't know why, of course, but he understood enough to know I needed to shower him with affection just at that time - he was all to willing to accept and return the favour.
I know it's the similarities in age and appearance between Ruger-puppy and Buddy that touched me so deeply - bringing home the fact that my time with Buddy is so precious and uncertain, especially after the health scare I had with him this summer.
I can only imagine the pain and suffering you're going through right now, Kathy. These pups worm their way into our hearts and souls in ways that some people just don't understand, don't they. They become a part of us, just as we become a part of them. A little bit of us goes with them - until we see them again.
Love to you and Rick, and Ruger-Puppy in doggie heaven,
Deb |

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge...
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...

My dearest friends,
I have been trying to find the words to thank all of you, the compassion and love you have all shown both Rick and I during this very difficult time has overwhelmed us. All of your posts, poems, pictures, emails, cards and calls have touched us both. I am at a loss for words.
As expected, it is so very hard, and I am having trouble holding myself together for more than ten minutes at a time. I miss my best friend and Rick misses her little girl. I know in time all the wonderful times and happy memories we shared will replace most of the hurt and sadness, but my heart is just so heavy right now and I do miss her so much. I know I always will.
Ruger had a good long life and yesterday her time had come. Both Rick and I made the decision to make sure she didn't suffer and to be able to let her go with the dignity and respect she so deserved.
My dear friends, again, thank you so much for your caring words and love, and thank you for being such wonderful Aunties and Uncles to our Ruger. It truly was an honour to share her with you all!
{{{{{{{{{{{ many hugs }}}}}}}}}}

Kathy and Rick I am so saddened by you loss of your little girl Ruger.
You have helped so many people by starting the treasured pets thread, and you helped me when I needed it so very much.
I hope that we can now help you through this.
{{{{hugs}}}}
I ONLY WANTED YOU
They say memories are golden, well maybe that is true. I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you, a million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place, no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway, and heartache make a lane, I'd walk the path to heaven, and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Oh Kathy I am so so sorry to read about Ruger it is so hard when any family member passes on and I know that's what Ruger was.
Although I don't visit that often now I remember my time on the siggie thread and all the pics of Ruger that were there I think I did her a tag myself..
Just wanted to let you know how sorry I was.
Hugs ((Kathy & Rick))

My dear friends
I still cannot even begin to express in words how appreciative I am with all your support this past week. The outpouring of love, thoughtfulness and genuine concern and caring has meant so much to both me and Rick. It truly is helping in my healing process. Ruger was a very special part of our family and I know she would be so honoured by all the tributes and compassionate good-byes.
So on behalf of Rick and I, thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart. I wish I could reach in and give each and every one of you a big ole hug!
