Ruger {aka Rugie} was sucha good dog~! His name was a combination of the German part of his breed & the gun {pistol} ... since he was sucha onery puppy! He was soo big...weighed 120 lbs... & was gorgeous. A constant companion of ours. We walked many, many miles together... we walked many times a day & almost everyday all kinds of weather. One time we figured it to be over 9,000 plus miles... that is alot of footwork!
As he got older, he loved "his" couch more than walks...but would get up & go out for our shorter walks as he could not move as good as he once did.
Ruger loved lil' Otis... we were afraid he may not like the lil' one... but they had a good time together & he would let Otis get the best of him at times. Otis really misses him, too. & Bill really had a tuff time, since he seemed to baby on him more.
It is still hard to go to the basement & on walks... alot of memories! You keep expecting to see him on his couch. They {our fur angels} are like another member of the family! Our 4* legged children! Our pets rescue us many times, are always there for us.
Ruger would have been 12 years old. ... so for a big dawg ... he had a good & happy life & is in a better place where there is no pain.
It doesn't mean we do not miss him ~ we will always miss him & love him always! Even tho he has been gone for 5 months, I still cry writing this... thought mebbe writing this it would be easier now, than before... that is not so...
Thank*U Rugie for leaving your pawprints on our hearts... love you & miss you!
