In honor of my wonderful sweetie, Ruby ( and her brother Austin), i designed this necklace for those of us who are lucky enough to have a dog or two light up our lives every day. My sweet Ruby passed away after a tough and heart-wrenching battle with bone cancer. She was my companion and love-dog until the day she died. On that day she was still following me around, barking at the mail carrier and being her strong and loving self. Her and I even took a rare nap together on our couch that day. I’ll never forget her sweet face and how she would put her arm around me when I hugged her, or how she would lay at my feet in my office, no matter how late I was up working.
Thankfully, her brother Austin is still here with us, being goofy as ever.
“Dogs are not your whole life…but they make your life whole”. I can’t remember where I heard this saying, but I have never forgotten it since it rings so true. People that don’t have dogs sometimes have a hard time underst and ing the love and devotion us dog-lovers show towards our little family members. I could never quite explain it myself until I heard this saying. They make our lives whole! And when they’re gone, there is a piece of us gone with them.
