Welcome to RANGER's Rainbow Bridge Memorial Residency
Memories of RANGER
| A Tribute to Our Beloved Ranger on his First birthday in Heaven. February 2, 2004... Ranger was the most beautiful tri color Sheltie we have ever seen. His hair was like silk and his eyes were gorgeous, so big and beautiful. Rangers Vet "Dr. Jenny" always said he had honest eyes and he truly did. He was always happy and his tail was always up and wagging. He was on the large side for a Sheltie, weighing in at about 40lbs. He was lean and taller than most shelties. Ranger was very healthy all of his life, up until about one month before he left for Rainbow Bridge. Daddy has a very special and unique love for Ranger...whatever Daddy had...Rangie had...he always shared whatever food he had with Ranger (and our other boys too). We could always count on Daddy to clean you when you were sick or dirty. He would always give you a lick of his ice cream cone. (I'm sorry Rangie..I just could not bring myself to do that). Daddy would always give Rangie some of his snack or meal right off of his fork. Anytime he went in the car Daddy always took his boys with him (weather permitting). When Daddy would get up in the middle of the night we would all get up for a special "family run". Daddy would give his boys a small piece of cheese. DADDY ALWAYS SHARED WHATEVER HE HAD WITH YOU....HE LOVED YOU SO MUCH. I love all of my family but there was a special love between Rangie and I. I know my husband loves me and my family loves me...but I truly believe that Rangie loved me more deeply than any other spirit on this earth. His love for me was so unconditional...on days that I doubted my own self worth I could always count on Rangie to make me feel better about myself. He would run to me with such love and joy in his eyes as if to say..."Mommy you are the best in the whole world". I loved him so much in return. He would sit on the couch with me and sit on my feet to make sure if I moved he would know it so he could follow me. I think he was afraid to be alone without me, he was my shadow and I think were each others favorite in the whole world. He didn't care if I had a dime in my pocket of not, if I was having a bad hair day or if I was fat or thinner. HE LOVED ME FOR WHO I AM AND I LOVED HIM FOR WHO HE WAS! NO STRINGS ATTACHED................... DEAREST RANGIE, TODAY IS TWO MONTHS SINCE YOU WENT TO RAINBOW BRIDGE.
