And sometimes our Sanctuary is the bridge to The Bridge…
Tonight, there is a huge cloud of sadness over our heads; our hearts were shattered as beautiful Ruby crossed to Rainbow Bridge peacefully this afternoon.
Ruby was 16 and had a good, long and well loved life until both her mommies passed away. We continued to love and spoil her while she was here, and we made sure she had the best medical care possible. It goes without saying that we did whatever was necessary to help Ruby feel her best and be the most comfortable she could be.
Her favorite treats were vanilla custard and honey goat cheese, she enjoyed sitting outside on the deck and playtime with the other senior residents in the yard – she even made a couple of old lady friends that she liked to walk around with.
This afternoon, she let us know it was time and her mommies were calling her. We let her cross the bridge on her own terms from our loving arms straight into theirs.
Thank you to Dr. Alex Witt and the entire staff of House Paws Mobile Vet for being there for Ruby and tending to all her medical needs, as well as the needs of all our Sanctuary residents, and to all of you for your continued outpouring of support for Ruby.
You will always live on in our hearts Ruby – you were taken too soon. We were blessed to have known and been able to love you with our whole hearts!
Thank you all so much for caring and for being a support to us during this time.

💔 Just reading this made me cry. I don’t think I’ll ever understand. We welcome these beautiful animals into our homes and they steal our hearts and souls. I’ve said good bye to so many in the last nearly 40 years (since I got married). I still suffer from each loss. I love what you did for Ruby and so many others. You are Angels for allowing yourselves to fall in love over and over and then having to say good bye. I don’t think I could keep going. God Bless You.
