My sweet Reuben..Ruby Ru..RuRu..Reuben-Con! I had to help my Senior Reuben cross yesterday. My poor old man's hips finally gave out! Absolutely broke my heart! He was about 14 years old.
He was another Pinehurst Shelter fella that was just suppose to be at my home to heal from a leg injury that occurred at the Shelter. We had a female fence climber in the Shelter. She just happened to climb into Ruby's kennel and the hefer started gnawing on his leg. I was there at the Shelter by myself and ended up having to beat the female off of him with a dog bowl. 🥴
Of course my heart wouldn't let me return him to the Shelter, so he became my personal guy!
Reuben was a Pittie/Lab mix! He was the most awesome dog. Always had to lay under our feet when we played pool! Loved to lick your head when we were swimming. I was sad to see that I didn't have many pics of him in his Golden Years.😢
Our Pets just don't live long enough..but it was time!
It's not goodbye Reub..it's a see you later handsome Boy!💙💙
