Yesterday was my older doggie Ruby’s birthday. She turned 15! WOW! She is a pointer who still is funny and plays and runs. Yesterday was also my Dad’s Birthday. Tomorrow is mine. It is always a bit sad for me because my dad, who was my best friend and understood me and loved me more than anyone, has been gone from this existence since 2004. He always thought it was funny Ruby and he shared the same birthday. He called her the uncontrolled missile. He would have been 87. My mom passed in 2003, and I often wonder what it is like moving on, can they see us, do they come back, etc. All those who have passed before us stay in our hearts, but I wish there was some way we could talk to them. Like a Skype to the next life. In 2005 the day after my lab Frida turned 15, she passed away. So that was a bad day after a doggie’s 15th birthday. I chose to celebrate Ruby and her ongoing happiness here, because it is way better than being sad. Cheers to the bouncing Ruby! May she continue to enjoy this life!!

Hooray to Ruby! and Hooray to you! Time passes ~ Love endures. Happy Life! Love to you xoxox
SO true! Great words indeed! Can you even believe her silliness? Just saw a 14 yo dog at the vet who had much trouble walking. Ruby’s got game! And now, less long crazy nails. 😉
My Goodness! That’s a beautiful baby!! Many cheers to Ruby, may she have health and tons of joy every minute of her existance.
Btw, manfriend LOVES pointers, had one when he was a teenager and still longs for a pair. I had no idea they had such long lives!
