Remembering Ruby ❤️
Four years ago today, my heart was shattered in a way I never knew was possible. August 2nd will forever be remembered as the day we had to say goodbye to Ruby
On August 1st around 10pm , everything changed. Ruby suddenly went into an abnormal heart rhythm. We rushed her to the emergency veterinarian, praying for a miracle. Our greatest fear was confirmed, Ruby was in sustained ventricular tachycardia (V-Tach).
For the next 14 hours, an incredible veterinary team fought alongside us, doing everything possible to bring her heart back into a normal rhythm. We held onto hope, we prayed, and we waited for any positive news from the veterinarian. But sometimes love means making the most painful decision imaginable.
When there was nothing more that could be done, we made the hardest choice we have ever faced, to let Ruby go peacefully, surrounded by the love she had given us so freely.
Ruby was never just a dog. She was a member of the family. She was an ambassador for the Doberman breed, showing the world the intelligence, loyalty, beauty, and incredible heart that make these dogs so special. She changed minds, opened hearts, and inspired people everywhere she went.
To those who met her, she left a paw print that could never be erased. To those who followed her journey online, she became a reminder of everything a Doberman can be. Her impact reached far beyond our home, and her legacy continues to inspire people around the world.
Losing her was devastating but what brings comfort is knowing that Ruby’s life was filled with love every single day. She knew she was cherished. She knew she belonged. She left this world surrounded by the same love she gave so effortlessly to everyone around her.
Ruby, thank you for the memories, the sassiness, the laughter, the love you gave to this family and the countless lives you touched. You were a gift we were never ready to lose, but we will forever be grateful that we were lucky enough to call you ours.
Four years later, your legacy still lives on. Your story is still being told. You are still on our hearts.
Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever our Rubydoobydo. ❤️
