My Good Bye To Ruby

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
