Our precious baby, Ruya, crossed the rainbow bridge on Sunday afternoon.

Ruya lived happily, loved fully, and never missed a chance to greet anyone who crossed her path.

Ruya came into our life 11 years and 5 months ago. She was the last pup in the litter, and the best one in the whole world.

She loved swimming, running, car rides with windows down, stepping in puddles, covering herself in mud, and being out in the nature rain or shine.

Her favorite foods were roasted sweet potatoes and carrots, steamed squash, watermelon, peanut butter, and all things pumpkin. She loved chicken dearly.

We played a lot of hide and seek when she was younger, and Ruya always found me.

Her pet peeves were baby gates, closed doors, fences... anything that would fringe on her freedom.

She knew the way to all of the dog parks in the city and where all the water fountains were. Our only feuds were when we had to get her out of the park. She liked to collect old tennis balls. The more worn out, the nastier, the better.

She was truly a people's person, and never went to sleep before the party was over.

The pain of her loss is great, but the happiness and joy she brought us is even greater. We are more because of her.

Rest in love, my angel.
