MY RUGER MY LOYAL AND RESPONSIBLE FRIEND

HOW WILL MY HEART EVER MEND

MY HEART IS SHATTERED 

I'VE LOST ANOTHER BEST FRIEND

YOU RUGER WERE LOYAL TILL THE VERY END

IN 14 YEARS YOU NEVER ONCE CARED TO STRAY

YOU ONLY WANTED TO BE WITH ME NIGHT AND DAY





RUGER,

YOU LOOKED OUT FOR ME AND ALL THE OTHER ANIMALS FOR 14 YEARS ALWAYS WITH A HAPPY SMILE ON YOUR FACE AND IN YOUR EYES. YOU ARE WITH POOKIE AND JUNEBUG NOW. KEEP THOSE BEAUTIFUL LOVING EYES ON THE GIRLS AND LOOK OUT FOR THEM AS YOU ALWAYS HAVE.



 YOU WERE SO VERY SPECIAL TO ME AND YOU LOVED ME JUST AS MUCH AS I LOVED YOU. YOU WERE A LOYAL AND SPECIAL FRIEND I MISS OUR WALKS AND THE WAY YOU WOULD ALWAYS LOOK BACK AT A GLANCE TO MAKE SURE I WAS STILL COMIMG. THOSE EYES BRIGHT WITH HAPPINESS AND I CAN STILL SEE THE HUGE SMILE YOU GAVE ME. I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT LOOK ON YOUR FACE AND IN YOUR EYES AS LONG AS I LIVE IT WAS PURE LOVE AND JOY. YOU WERE MY BUDDY FOR 14 YEARS EVERY SINCE YOU WERE 8 WEEKS OLD. I STILL HAVE TROUBLE BELIEVING THAT YOUR STOMACH TWISTED I JUST STILL CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT IT HAPPEN AND YOU ARE GONE FOREVER. YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SUCH A HEALTHY BOY EVEN IN OLD AGE ONLY A LITTLE LIMP WITH THAT LEFT BACK LEG. NEVER BEEN SICK OR HURT. BUT STILL I DID WORRY ABOUT YOU A LOT I SUPPOSE BECAUSE YOU WERE GROWING OLDER. I APPRECIATE DR. GADDY PUTTING EVERYTHING ASIDE AND TRYING HARD TO SAVE YOU BUT THE SURGERY WAS JUST TO TOUGH FOR AN OLDER FELLOW LIKE YOU, THE FIRST FEW DAYS WAS HOPEFUL BUT THAT LAST NIGHT AND MORNING 1 WEEK AFTER YOUR SURGERY ON 7-14-09 I AM SO SORRY THAT YOU SUFFERED. AS I LAYED BESIDE YOU I PRAYED SO VERY HARD FOR THE GOOD LORD TO TAKE YOU AND NOT LET YOU SUFFER AND AT 6:30 AM YOU TOOK YOUR LAST BREATH. I MISS OUR DAILY WALKS TO THE CEMETERY TO VISIT POOKIE, JUNEBUG AND THE OTHERS NOW THAT IS WHERE MY BIG HANDSOME BOY REST TOO. 





IN 1995 A PERSON I KNEW TOLD ME ABOUT A MALE GERMAN SHEPHERD PUP ONLY 7 OR 8 WEEKS OLD THAT WAS CHAINED TO A  TREE IN A MOBILE HOME PARK. I ASK THIS PERSON TO FIND OUT IF THEY WANTED TO SELL IT. NOT REALLY WANTING ANOTHER DOG I BOUGHT THIS BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FELLOW TO GIVE IT A GOOD HOME. POOKIE WAS ONLY 3 YEARS AT THE TIME AND JUNEBUG WAS NOT BORN YET. WE BONDED RIGHT AWAY I NAMED HIM AFTER A RUGER 45 GUN THAT BELONG TO MY LATE HUSBAND LARRY OF 13 YEARS THAT HAD PASSED IN 1994. I STILL HAVE THE GUN NOW IT HAS TWO VERY SPECIAL MEMORIES INSTEAD ON ONE. RUGER HAS BEEN A LOYAL AND SPECIAL FRIEND TO ME FOR MANY YEARS I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT HANDSOME BOY. I TRUSTED RUGER WITH MY LIFE HE HAD A JOB A JOB HE WAS BORN WITH HE WAS A RESPONSIBLE DOG. HE WAS ALWAYS HAPPY AND READY TO PLEASE AND ALWAYS DONE WHAT I ASK OF HIM. MY HOME HAS CHANGED SO MUCH IN THE PAST YEAR IT FEELS SO STRANGE WITHOUT RUGER, POOKIE AND JUNEBUG. I CAN'T HELP BUT WORRY EVERYDAY WHO IS NEXT. I MISS BEING GREETED BY MY RUGER WITH HIS HAPPY SMILING FACE AND EYES I WILL MISS YOU RUGER TILL MY DAYS ARE OVER TOO.
