Tuesday 06.13.22, Rest In Peace Ruby

Rest in peace Swamp Dog Squirrel Worrier, we are absolutely devastated at the loss of Ruby, she has been our constant companion for the last 10 years, and kept us sane and anchored when the things went mad, watched the kids grow up, always at our side when we were upset or down, she gave us so much unconditional love

Our 12th Year Horsey Anniversary

Wow, where has the time gone, only seems like yesterday Lynne came home saying she wanted a horse again after a 20 year break, I thought to myself that keeps the wife and kids busy what am I going to do with myself, But on meeting Jack Mk1 I was hooked and been horse mad ever since, what an amazing adventure we have had and some fabulous horses along the way, also met some great people and made lots of new friends

Another very busy day at the garage and the day just flew by, Ruby has been at the vets all day having IV fluids to flush her kidneys and rehydrate her, when I finished work I picked her up from the vet’s, her little tail was waging when she heard my voice, but she still looked very down and sad, we have to take her back tomorrow to finish off the fluids, when we got home she had a drink and some food and promptly fell asleep, it’s been a long day for her, hopefully tomorrow she’s a bit more like herself, we had some dinner even though we were not very hungry, watched some TV and then got an early night

Feeling A Bit Sorry For Herself

After a day at the vet’s having IV fluids, Ruby is a bit sleepy and sorry for herself

Thursday 01.12.22

Bit of a rubbish day today, nothing seemed to go smoothly in work, Lynne’s been into Ruby’s new vets for some answers and really not getting anywhere, late on this afternoon Ruby went to another vets for a second opinion, she’s dehydrated mostly due to the stopping of her medication, she shouldn’t have been on the eye drops for pressure behind her eyes with her heart condition, and that was miss diagnosed, she has an ulcer in the eye, she’s booked back in tomorrow for IV fluids to flush her out, but while we were having dinner the vet rang with her blood results, and it’s not looking good, she’s in kidney failure, we are absolutely devastated, we knew it was only a matter of time with her heart condition but now the time is here we are all at a loss, on the bright side we all had a laugh at the fun times with Ruby and she has eaten and drank this evening, chilled out in front of the tv and fell asleep in the armchair

Wednesday 30.11.22

Up and about early this morning after a restless nighs sleep, I ended up sleeping in the armchair keeping Ruby company, had a very busy day at the garage to with a bit of running around collecting and delivering cars, finished on time and when I got home I picked up Lynne and we went to McDonald’s for our dinner, Lynne played hell with the vets today and spoke to the business manager to get some answers as to why her medication was changed, no real answers, I got a quick shower and got an early night, I watched a film and then fell asleep

Had A Nice Walk On Sunday Afternoon

Went up on one of my favourite places, just love the views, never the same twice

Tuesday 29.11.22

Up and about early this morning after and what a cold dark morning, had coffee and then got ready for work, we had a very busy day at the garage and the day just flew by, Ruby went to the vet today and she has been put back on the tablets that for some reason she was taken off a week ago, when Lynne picked up Ruby’s prescription was told she didn’t need them as one of the other tablets did the same thing, strange as she has been on them for 3 years, Lynne has played hell with them and will be back on to them tomorrow, when I got I finished off cooking dinner and after we had eaten and tidied up I had a quick shower and more or less went straight to bed

Monday 28.11.22

Back in work after a very short feeling weekend, had coffee and then got ready for work, we had a very busy day at the garage and with a couple of collections and parts pick ups and deliveries, finished on time and headed home, we are very worried about Ruby she’s really slowing down with age and her heart condition

It seems to be affecting her breathing, she’s going to the vets tomorrow, hopefully her medication just needs a tweek, had some dinner and then got an early night
