"Ruby!"



Tom's dog Ruby, that he had for nine years....Had to be put to sleep! She was completely blind! Tom knew she was having some issues with her sight about a year ago when she quit wanting to go feed the horses with him.... and run with him! The vet said.... as long as she was eating well and happy she would be good and Tom would know when the time would be to put her to sleep! You would of never know she did not see if you say her in the back yard! She knew where everything was and was so happy! Unfortunately she follow Boone out a gate that Tom accidentally had left open after mowing the grass! We did not realize she was out for about 1 1/2 hours! We looked for her, from nine until midnight and could not found her! As Tom and I had prayer that night about 12:30am...As Tom prayed he asked for Ruby to be able to return home safely! At that time I thought to my self...She is blind...Tom why did you ask for that she cannot get home! I kept thinking that she must have been hit by a car or maybe fell in a ditch and could not get out! Sure enough when Tom went outside at six the next morning SOME HOW she was home! She did not look well and it was obvious that she had suffered some sort of trauma BUT.... She was home! Tom was going to clean her up and then take her to the vet....but know how much Ruby hates baths and the water...Tom loaded her up on a blanket on the back seat of the truck and took her to Dr.Ron Tenney. This is what Tom texted me..... She didn't look the same after she got lost at night. It really was a miracle she found her way back. At least I could say good bye and was able to put her down in a peaceful way. She fell asleep with her head in my hands. I know that gave her allot of comfort!
