Yesterday our gorgeous girl left us at 9.15am. We used a wonderful company called Dignipets who came to our home, so she went very peacefully, in her own bed under the window in our lounge. She is now laid to rest in the field where Gracie was earlier this year.
Ruby was thirteen and a half and the years of lugging her chunky black labrador body around had taken their toll on her joints, so it was time. She arrived a month after we moved here, a small, wriggly bouncing bundle of oversized paws - and skin that she never did seem to fully grow into - so she's woven into the very fabric of our existence here in Shropshire. She never knew what a lucky dog she was, having a 125-acre "garden" literally outside her door.... and thus she never was very good on a lead! I know we all say it, but she truly was such a special dog and everyone who met her adored her. She leaves a big black lab-shaped hole in our lives
Rest in peace, our darling girl....
