Our beloved Ruby (Daddy's Girl) is gone. Rest in peace baby girl.

Here's some pictures we took yesterday when we visited her at the animal hospital:

The Vet felt Ruby had a pretty serious infection, likely from her last bladder surgery about 6 weeks back. That infection moved up into her kidneys. She exhibited with lack of appetite and lethargy. We took her into the animal hospital where they started her on an IV of antibiotics and fluids.

We visited her yesterday for a couple hours. She was pretty out of it when we got there. By the time we left, she had perked up quite a bit. Got her to walk outside a few steps, enough to go pee. Even got her to take some water finally.

During the night, she took a turn for the worse and based on details the doctor gave me, I made the decision to allow her to cross the Rainbow Bridge.

What a sweet dog. So hard to type this. Good bye Ruby.

So sorry to hear of Ruby's passing. I know it is hard on you and Nancy but knowing she is no longer in pain is somewhat uplifting. I hope she gets to meet our Golden Sam up there.

Jim, we are sorry about the loss of Ruby. We lost our Cowboy in 2009 after 13yrs. He loved to travel with us. He will play with her and watch over her.

Jim and Nancy,

We are so sorry to hear this. I only met Ruby once but she was so sweet and friendly even though she must not have been feeling well at the time. I know it was a tough decision to make and we are thinking of you while you grieve.

Nancy and Jim,

I will keep you all in my prayers. The loss of a family member is always difficult, but watching them suffer is sometimes even harder. May Ruby rest in peace!
