After thirteen years of loyal friendship, we had to say good-bye to a dear family member last week. Ruby was born on October 4, 1998. This Golden Retriever was one of our favorite pets--faithful, adoring, and always ready to play. She loved retrieving softballs, lunging after firecrackers, and chasing after her favorite toy--an old rubber toss she played with since she was a puppy.
For many years, she gave us dozens of puppies to love and share with others. I know her offspring has been a blessing to many.
