Thank you all for your kind words concerning the loss of my Great Dane. Reading the posts of others who have lost love ones has been a comfort to me. Those of us who have love Danes know they are tragically short lived but we always hope ours will be the exception. Ruger was a massive dog with an immeasureable heart. He was the embodiment of love and wanted nothing more than to please. He went Home this past weekend. Friday night Ruger began his preparations for the journey with subtle differences in his personality only I could tell. Saturday he seemed brighter and enjoyed the day with the family. My little niece was spoiling him all day, feeding him treats and giving him hugs. She knew nothing of my concerns about him, so I was really moved when she turned to me and says "You know, Ruger is so happy I bet he thinks he is in heaven." Sunday morning he was. Ruger, you brought me every happiness and I will try to be patient until I see you again.
