Goodbye little dude…
Our beloved dog Ruben died last week. He was diagnosed a few days earlier with kidney failure. He was an incredibly special dog who brought us much joy and his presence has been incredibly therapeutic and has helped us tremendously through all the difficult times we have had over the past few years. He was only six and his sudden death is incredibly painful.
This photo was taken about two weeks ago in happier times.
There is lot I’m going to miss about young Ruben but these are the things I’m going to miss the most…
How he would run down the stairs when he would hear me cutting vegetables in order to get a snack.
How he would let out a huge sigh whenever he plopped down.
How he would always look out at the same spot whenever we would go for a walk.
How much he loved our new baby and sat with her all day and licked her feet.
How he always sat down on the carpet in the bathroom when we bathed Tzofie.
How he would often follow me into the bathroom. Ruben being so small, I would often not see him and close the door when I would leave, locking him in.
How he would get so excited when we would come home and pee uncontrollably on the floor.
How he would attack the sprinklers when they would go off in the morning.
How he loved sleeping. We actually had to wake him up in the morning.
How he worshiped our other dog Noonie and would always make sure her eyes and ears were clean.
How much he loved Doggie treats. The way he reacted whenever we sai “cookie” you’d think we just told him he won the dog lotto.
How he loved his Spongebob doll more than any other toy.
His horrible rusty smelling stinky breath.
