Title: Sleep tight my sweetheart Ruby
Post by: FrankieBeee on February 19, 2015, 18:01:42 PM
I took Roobs for a check with the vet and while she was still Roobs her tumour was just out of control. Vet suggested we wait a certain time may be as the tumour was really bad now but I thought may be now was best.

Broke my heart - now numb and in loads of pain but now crying writing this. She was reluctant to go so we we had to sedate her so she fell asleep in my arms before she was helped over the bridge. Wilf was with me but he couldn't care less really bless him - Sue had stuffed him with treats while he was there and he thought he was on a trip to petshop - so we went alone for more treats.

Sleep tight Roobs my little baby girl - I miss you loads my feisty little trooper who took everything in her stride with a wiggly bumxx

Oh Penny, I'm so sorry to read this.   Run free Ruby knowing how much you're loved and how much your mum will miss you.

She had a fantastic life with you Penny, no dog could have asked for better, and she showed her strong spirit to the end.  It's never an easy decision but you did the right thing for her at the right time.  Big hugs xxx

Oh my dear friend, so very very sorry.  Knowing you did the right thing doesn't cure the hurt, does it? Ruby was a glorious brave, determined, funny and adorable lady.  And you gave her exactly the life she would have chosen for herself. Her pain is over.  Yours, I suspect, is only just beginning.  Don't be hard on yourself - no-one could have loved her more or looked after her better.  There are now two grumpy baggages at the other side of the rainbow bridge and I bet the other dogs have their hands over their ears while Cassie and Roobs slug it out. It will make them so happy. No-one who knew Ruby will ever forget her - a dog of real spirit and quality. Big hugs to you and to Wilf, Stella, Bosley and Lady. Goodnight, dear Ruby - now you can see again.

So sorry Penny! It's the hardest decision you have to make, but I'm sure you made the right choice. Take comfort from your other darlings and be certain that you gave Ruby the best life she could ever have wished for.

Worth exploring


Wow Annie what a beautiful tribute to "Our girl Ruby", Ruby was always a very special girl who coped with her blindness in her own determined way & will love being able to see again.
Penny this is going to be hard for you but you know she had the best life ever, may the memories be a comfort to you. Loads of hugs & kisses & strength coming to you.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 :'( Ah Penny I'm so sorry to see this, I can only echo what others have said and no matter what anyone say's you will still be hurting and will miss her so much.

Ruby sent a rainbow yesterday - I like to think she was letting me know she had made it to rainbow bridge and was now whole again and happy - Yes I was that woman standing outside my door at that moment with 4 dogs with tears running down my face looking up at a beautiful rainbow seeing it in a whole new light

Its that awful thing where little things set you off but something in me doesn't quite feel she's gone - came home with the dogs and was about to call her and see where she was

It goes on for months and months, Penny. I still look for Cassie every time I open the fridge door because I just know she will be there, trying to push past to inspect the contents. So it's tears at stupid times, especially when I wake up in the morning and there is only one dog bed in the hall. I think trying to be brave is just pants.  There's no way you could get over a lass as special as Roobs easily: she was your first dog in your Cardiff home, wasn't she? She hasn't really gone anyway - she'll always be a part of your life, won't she? It's just that the balance of the memories changes from the sad times to the happy ones.  Big wraparound hug - you and she were so much part of each other that it must be really tough.  You are entitled to cry and Simon and I are both thinking about you and wishing we could help. xxxx

Not trying to be brave at all really but must confuse the hell out of people as I might tell them or they might ask and am probably quite matter of fact - then I realised that deep down my brain is finding it hard to think its true even though my heart is telling me otherwise and that there's a huge hole in there so its confusing the hell out of my system
