Ruby

I will be taking a short break from blogging while we farewell a much loved, extremely significant, incredibly gorgeous, loyal, adorable and important member of our family.

Ruby my darling

Like today’s time on the beach, we are coming together as a family to enjoy our last few days together.

Beautiful

Thank you to everyone who via facebook and instagram have sent your love during this time; we know many of you have been in a similar situation and understand the difficult journey of making that trip to the vet.

Greatly adored

Tonight we’re drinking red.  A red for Ruby.  A toast to a true blessing to our lives; a gift worth more than its weight in gold; a life where the giver gave far more than she was given.

Ruby thank you and…we love you.

    I can’t believe that this is happening
    so many amazing memories with her even though i barley ever see her
    When i would babysit and would get the side eye whenever i stopped patting her and the little surprises left under your beds
    All my love and support
    And all my love to Ruby
