		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ruby

    Its been 2 years with out you.  I think about the good times we had almost daily.  All the trips to my moms we took.  You loved going on any road trips. I was always afraid the cows were going to hurt you, when you were chasing and barking at them.  
    You knew at my moms you would get to eat bacon and ham and lots of stuff you didn't get at my house.  
    I try not to be sad about you not being here.  I am so grateful to have you    the time I did have you.  You made my life better.  I was with you longer than any BOYFRIEND I've ever had.  I never got tired of your company. If you did do something bad, I couldn't stay mad at you .  
    I am going to be getting another pup soon. I have started looking, but i'm not in a hurry.  I don't know how not to compare them to you. But that could be because I have a hard time making decisions.  I think when I find the one , you will help me.  I know it will be a rescue.
  I just wish you were still here.  
I MISS YOU SO MUCH]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ They say it helps to write a poem. I have never written a poem before. I am not sure if I'm finished with this or not. But 17 months ago today you left me. So here is the poem.


      Ruby
You’ve now been gone for a year 
Why do I still cry?
Dying, I no longer Fear
Some days I want to die.

Did you know how much I loved you ?
I thought by now I wouldn’t feel such Pain. 
I don’t know what to do.
The tears still come like Rain.

Memories is all I have of you.
I can see you running so fast.
I think of things and I’m not so Blue
You always had a blast.

Ruby I need to know
Am I holding you back
I feel you need to go.
Run with the Pack

A couple nights ago
I thought you were there
I woke up and felt where you always slept
Of course the spot was bare
I  laid back down and wept]]></content:encoded>

 I still miss you every day.  Sometimes I can talk about you. But only if its a funny memory. Never about your illness. I still cry for you as I am now as I write this. I found this poem and it made me think of you.

DOGS WHO'VE SHARED OUR LIVES 
Author Unknown 

"They will not go quietly,
the dogs who've shared our lives.
In subtle ways they let us know
their spirit still survives. 

Old habits still make us think
we hear a barking at the door.
Or step back when we drop
a tasty morsel on the floor. 

Our feet still go around the place
the food dish used to be,
And, sometimes, coming home at night,
we miss them terribly. 

And although time may bring new friends
and a new food dish to fill,
That one place in our hearts belongs to them...
and always will."]]></content:encoded>

  Ingram was adopted at the last adoption day.  A couple days later I got Nellie. She is a Staff. Terrier. Its the first time I fostered one that wasn't a boxer.  Then yesterday I picked Winter up. I'm dog sitting her for the holidays. I also picked up another foster yesterday. Her name is Lyla. So I'm Loaded down with dogs right now. Lyla is so tiny. She came from the same place Nellie came from.  A guy in San Antonio was hoarding a bunch of boxers . We were able to get 15 of them. But he still has at least 25 he wouldn't let us have.  Any way I love you and miss you.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ruby
  Its Wednesday morning. The day before Thanksgiving. You left me last year the day before thanksgiving. Even though it was Nov. 20th last year. So it feels like I am going to have 2 days  of you passing. November 20 and the day before Thanksgiving. I wonder how long it will be , before November 20 is the day before Thanksgiving again.
 I know Thanksgiving will never be the same again. 

I've got to go . We are going to Longview to have Thanks giving with my mom and my sister. I still have to pack. 
I love and miss you still.  Maybe if I had not lost my sister the year before you passed it would be easier. She was my best friend too. You helped me so much that last year. I will be so happy when we get to be together again.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ruby

  You have been gone for 1 year now.  There hasn't been 1 day I haven't thought of you or mentioned your name in a conversation. I know you are with Ollie.  Ollie didn't know any one at the bridge until you . I bet he was so happy to see you. We all miss him so much too. Tristin , Ashlyn and I still talk about both of you all the time. 

 I have another foster now . I only had Nokia for about a month. I changed her name right away to Kia. She had been so badly abused, I didn't think no needed to be the first part of her name. Now I have Ingram . When the rescue got him he had a rope imbedded in his neck and they had to surgically remove it. He has stitches all around his neck. Then he has to go through heart worm treatment. He also has a bad case of kennel cough. I really can't understand how any one could have done this. He is a gentle giant. He has a natural tail and is probably the biggest boxer i've ever seen, or he will be when he gains weight. He lets Walter push him around.  I think  about the life some of these dogs have had, and I am so thankful you never had to go through any of the abuse they endure. These dogs are what keep me going with out you.  
    I remember the way you would pounce your feet and bark so loud when we told you to speak.  You would have the proudest look on your face.  I remember when you and I were coming back from my moms, I had given you a treat shaped like a cigar. You would always sit like a person looking straight ahead. You had this chew hanging out of your mouth and it looked like you were smoking a cigar. We were getting some of the funniest looks from people. 
  I still miss you so much. A year hasn't eased the pain. I still cry for you almost daily. But sometimes it will be thinking of a good time we shared and I will cry. I want to get another boxer. I've had so many fosters this year and they were great dogs. But they didn't compare to you. Or maybe if I get another dog I will have to let you go. I'm still not ready. I love you 
Mom]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ruby
  You have been gone for 11 months now. I still think of you every day.  Ashlyn and I were talking this weekend about  some of the fun times we had. I don't want to for get any of them. We had so many good times. You new the time of day you were suppose to go on your walk. If I didn't take you , you would get so mad and bring me your leash. Then you would start barking and put your leash in my lap. I'm still missing you so much. I still haven't gotten another dog. Winter finally was adopted. I only have one foster now, her name is Nokia. She has been so badly abused I don't know if I can bring her out of it. I see these dogs and its so sad. You never had to spend a night outside or anything these dogs have endured. You were loved your whole life. I  know I will adopt one. I know when the right one comes along you will give me a sign to keep that special one. Until then I am going to keep fostering. I am fostering 2 at a time. I have been thinking about fosting other kinds of dogs. Like the mutts. They really need me more I think. Maybe later I will do that. I still  miss you so much. Since you have been gone there is such a void in my life. Its like i'm just existing. waiting for us to be together again.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ 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.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ruby
  9 months have gone by with out you. I was just looking at pictures of you. You were so beautiful. Even when you started to turn gray.  I still miss you so much. When will I stop. i'm crying for you as I write this. I have a new foster. His name is Klien . I ask to foster him because he looked alot like you. I think he is getting adopted today. I will find out later. He is so funny. I know you would loved to have played with him.  He loves to play.  

   I hope i'm not holding you back. They say when a person doesn't let go of someone that has passed, it holds them back. I don't want to do that. But I  don't want to let go either.  I keep thinking when I foster the right one , you will give me a sign to keep her. Like her doing something only you would do.   I don't think it would be right to replace you unless I can love them as much as I loved you. No one knows how much I miss you. I can't talk about you without crying so if someone says something I try to change the subject. Maybe that is the problem . Maybe if I talked about you , the pain would go away. 

     I want the pain to end. But I don't ever want to forget what a wonderful companion you were. I was always happy when you were with me. I didn't think I would have so many memories.  But because you were a part of my family, I have many good memories that can always bring a smile to my face.

    Ruby, this is all for now. I hope you are with Ollie . If you are tell him we miss and love him too.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ruby
  It's been 7 months since you were here . I can't tell you how many times i've  i've thought of your last day with me . I go over it over and over. I  wish I had hugged you one more time.
       I am extra sad today. Coco was adopted today. You would have loved her. I wanted so much to adopt her. But I just coudn't. Now I wished that I had because I miss her so much. But she went to a wonderful home and I know she will be happy.
       I am still fostering Winter. So i'm not alone. I will get another foster in a week or so. Maybe sooner. They have so many dogs they can't save them all. You were the best dog and friend I could have. I miss you so much. I have so many good memories of you. I hope you found Ollie. 
    I have a picture of you on my computer. It was the last picture ever taken of you.  You were in the car looking out the window right before we left.  Ronnie thinks I should take it off and put another picture up. But it is a very good picture of you.
         Maybe when I write again I will have adopted a foster to stay with me forever. Some times I think I shouldn't have ever fostered at all. That maybe all the dogs that came through stressed you out and brought the cancer on. I know you didn't always like them. But I always made sure you knew you were number 1.
      Walter hasn't been feeling to well lately. I'm not sure how long it will be , before he joins you. He gets so depressed when Tristin leaves. He's gone for the summer so he's been depressed and then he hurt his leg. He's almost completely gray headed.  
       Until next time ,you are always in my thoughts.
LOVE 
Mom]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Its still so hard with out.  Just last week i was driving and I looked at the seat beside me.  Where   you always were.  You would get so excited when you knew we were going somewhere.  I always took you because I wanted you to know you were special. I love the fosters but I was afraid you would think they were replacing you.  But anyway back to what I was saying, I looked at the empty seat beside me and thought  to my self,  what I would give to have you  with me. Of course I had a good cry.

  It's still very hard to even say your name . I don't know when I will get another dog. I really don't mind. I  know every time the dog did something bad, I would say Ruby never did that. 

But I look back at when you were a puppy , and I remember coming home to a few things torn up and the house trashed.  Even then I still thought you were perfect. I would make excuses why you would do it. I love you and miss you so much. I WILL BE SO HAPPY WHEN WE CAN SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN.
I love you Ruby]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ruby
\
    You've been gone for 3 months today.  I still miss you so much. Yesterday I bought some pig ears for Walter and the 2 fosters, Winter, and Coco. After I left the store I remembered how much you loved pig ears and I just started crying. I don't know if it was guilt because they were getting a pig ear and you would be left out. . Or because it reminded me of how much you loved them.
\
\   I miss you so much. The foster I had before Coco and Winter was a cute dog. She was solid white, with a black ring around her eye. Everyone loved her. She was so sweet. Tristin cried when she was adopted. Ronnie wanted me to adopt her. But I finally told Ronnie, I wasn't ready. Some people go out the very next day and  get another dog. That's OK. I just can't do that. Every body says I won't be replacing you. But I think you will send me a signal when the right one comes along. 
\     
\I love you so much. 
\                                   Love 
\                                      Your Mom]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The last 2 months without you have been so lonesome . I'm so thankful I had that last week with you. I gave you so much icecream I was afraid you would know something was up.  There are so many people that don't get a chance to say good bye. I look back on that day when we were in the Dr.s office and I wished I had hugged you one more time. 
   Tristin and Ashlyn talk about you all the time. They miss you too.  My mom even cryed when she found out you were gone.  I don't know if I will ever have a dog I love as much as I love you. 
  I just pray you are with my sister who died 11 months before you. That would be wonderful if you were with her . But I'm sure you are with Ollie my sons beautiful boxer who went to the bridge a year and a half before you. You two loved each other so much. 
  I am still fostering. Right now I have two. One I've thought about keeping.
She is a year old and so cute. Something happened to stunt her growth. She is a full grown boxer but is only 18 inches tall and weighs 25 lbs. But I'm not ready to replace you. When I think about actually doing it, I know I can't. I know they can't compare to you. Maybe in a few months I can . We will see. 
  I just wanted to touch base with you and tell you how much you are missed. I'm so glad you are no longer in pain. 
        Love

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ruby
  
          You've been with me for 8 years. The time went to fast. We could be together 24 hours a day.  That's the way I liked it.  I never was tired of your company. There's not one human I can say that about. 
     Whenever I did have to go away without you, I would start missing you before I packed my bags.  People would laugh at me when ever I  would say , I can't wait to get home, so i can see Ruby. 
  I'll never for get you.
   Every one that met you would say you had the best disposistion of any dog they had met. Even people that didn't like dogs , liked you.
     You didn't know any fancy tricks, you weren't show quality, you didn't like to cuddle. But I thought you were perfect. 
      Why did the end come so soon ? I know you're in such pain. It's up to me to take the pain away. I didn't think I could do it. But seeing you in pain is to much to bear. I always said there is nothing I wouldn't do for you. No dog can ever take your place. You were always # 1. Remember how David (X boyfriend) would always say, I wish my name was Ruby.
    Remember how you always rode shotgun and the kids rode in the back seat. They understood you had to see where you were going. 
    I'm so sorry Ruby, but oh the memories you have given me. You always put a smile on my face.
     This thanksgiving won't be the same without you. I will have a smile for everyone, but underneath my heart will be breaking. So I will go to the bathroom cry my eyes out . then I will put on my happy face for every one.
   Ruby, please come visit me in my dreams. When you do , I know you will be healthy . you will have your boxer wiggle, the excitement when you see a cat. The way you could sit and speak if you wanted a treat. You were always happy to see anybody.  the way your lips flew up when you had your head out the car window. Or just watching you sleep. I loved it all.
   I could never spank you. You were perfect. 
     My heart is breaking right now. But I wouldn't have traded my time with you for anything. Thats what makes it bearable. 
I LOVE YOU RUBY,
   LOVE, MOM]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I havn't been feeling to well lately. But today is Saturday. Mom always takes me garage selling. I love to bark at the other dogs I see. Mommy can't decide if I should go. She always takes me to Mac donalds for a ice cream afterwards. I hope I get to go. It may be the last time. Last week we didn't buy anything. I think Mommy just wanted to drive me around .  If I feel better I will write more later.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night I was told I couldn't get on the sofa. How can my mom do that. Then I was told I was a dog. Do I look like a dog ? I didn't think so. I thought I was different. I ride in the car like a human. Except I like to hang my head out sometimes. But i;'ve seen humans do that. My bed is my moms bed too. Maybe she needs to get her own bed.
 She still has Harley, my foster brother. But that wasn't enough. Now i have a foster sister too.
 Her name is Simone. She's ok . I like her alot more than i like Harley.  She told me what her life has been like. I just couldn't believe it. The stories she told me was terrible.  I didn't know that someone could be treated like that. When my mom first got her all she would do is shake like she was cold all the time. Now she knows we are not going to hurt her she wags her tail all the time now. I even play with her a little. 
Well i've got to go. i hear my mom playing with the other dogs.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Tomorrow is adoption day.  This nice lady and her husband want to meet Harley.  Then he would be so happy to finally have his for ever home. He is much happier now than he was before. But  when he finds his for ever home, he will settle down and quit beeing so hyper.  i hope the next foster my mom gets will be a girl. She always gets boys. and i want one that's smaller than me. I don't get to boss any body around. My little brother Walter , is younger than me and alot smaller, but he is the boss. He steals my bones. He stands in the door ways and i have to bark so mom will make him move. i should be the boss. i'm going to talk to mom about that]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I don't know what happened.  I guess my feet are a little big and i hit enter. but like i was saying Harley is getting better. I have to give him a little slack, after all he is a boy. If i act like i want to play with him just a little bit, that's all it takes an he is all over the place. To tell you the truth I think he has a crush on me. Iam A little old for him, but he doesn't know my true age. And i'm not going to tell him. 
  It has been cold and rainy and my mom doesn't like to go for walks when its raining. Ithink all of us are getting cabin fever. Iwatch alot of Tv. , so i know what word like that mean. 
     As long as i know my mom loves me the best. Thats the most important thing. Right ?  Iknow she does. Harley will probably get adopted this weekend at adoption day. That's the problem. Just when Iget used to one, they get  adopted , then she gets a new one and it takes awhile for them to sttle down. One of these days i know she will  get a foster and fall in love with it and keep it.  i'm always trying to be extra good. i always want to be mommy's favorite.
 Diary i have to go take a doggy nap. i've been up for almost a hour.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well Harley came back with Mom yesterday.  So I guess he will be here for another week at least. He is getting better. When he first came to our house he was like a wild Dog. I have been sleeping alot today. I tell you, this is the best sleeping weather. Well any weather is good sleeping weather for me. Walter is outside laying in the sun. Its the first time we have seen that in a while . Really , Harley isn't so bad..   I just want him to find his fur ever home.  He is actually quite handsome.  I will see if mom will put a picture of him on my web site . If not, you can see him at Austin Boxer Rescue.  Harley has his own Dogster web page through them. Well mom getting ready to go some where. maybe she will take me if i stare at her the right way.]]></content:encoded>
