Ruger - Born 7/18/11 

Day 1 with us ~ 9/13/11

Saturday, 5/31/14, Ruger woke up just like his normal self and within a few hours he was rushed into surgery after an x-ray confirmed his stomach and intestines were twisted.

Coming home from surgery with cautious hope.

Day 991~ his final day with us 5/31/14

This photo was taken within a few minutes of signs of trouble.   I'm so thankful we have it.  
Ruger succumbed to Bloat and complications from surgery just shy of 3 years old.  We responded quickly but he couldn't pull through, at 11:45pm he passed away on his bed at home. We had the highest highs with him and now the lowest low. 

 Ruger's final resting place

Still in shock a bit and just when you think you have it together you look into your husband's or child's eyes and you loose it all over again.  He was just a dog but he was the dog God gave us and he knew what we needed.  We will forever mourn the memories we didn't get to make with you.
Good Bye Good Boy.
