A Tribute to Our Sweet Ruby

Today is a very sad day in our house. We said goodbye to our wonderful, obedient, loving and absolutely perfect dog Ruby. She lost her battle with cancer and was loving until the last possible moment. There is no doubt that she was welcomed into heaven by all of our loved ones that have gone before us... dogs and people.

Brian and I are dog lovers and have had many in our lives, but there is no doubt that we have never owned a more amazing dog than Ruby. All she wanted was love and affection. She never tore anything up, knew better than to ever mess in the house, never ran off and was on more of a routine than the kids. She was so amazing and truly provided us with unconditional love. Her grandparents absolutely adored her as well and knew what an amazing dog she was.

I would also like to thank Sugarland Veterinary Specialists. They have helped us battle this disease for a while and were wonderful to work with. Thank you Dr.Novosad, Coye and the absolutely amazing tech, Roxanne. Ruby absolutely loved Roxanne. She would wag her tail everytime she saw her. Roxanne talked about how good Ruby was and followed her from place to place in the back.

We have a lot of nicknames in our house for the kids...Ella Boo, Willie Woo and Ruby Foo (aka The Foo). Ella and I loved to sing to Ruby. We always sang this to the tune of Scooby-Doo....

Ruby Ruby Foo
We love you
You're the Greatest Puppy

We love and miss you so much Ruby.

  2. We're so sad to hear of your loss. Ruby seemed too young for this to happen. We're thinking of you and know that she will be missed. Kevin's going to really miss Ruby, especially their time in Baltimore together (Ruuuuuube).

  3. Just read your blog and burst into tears. I adored Ruby. You are the only client I have ever had that I let leave their dog home during showings as I loved playing with her. I never told you that when I hosted open houses at your house, I would let her in the house to sit with me and hang out until a car drove down the street and then I would shoo her into the garage while they were there and then bring her back in to play. She was awesome and I am so sorry for you loss. Jen Singer
