Our Ruger has gone to Heaven to be with Dixie. Funny story about how we got Ruger - One of the farms Tony did a lot of work for in Florida...Ocala Stud Farm...had several cats that lived in and around the barns...well this one little cat was the sweetest, friendliest cat of all the kittens and one day the barn manager told Tony that if we wanted him please come get him. They had coyote's that were coming into the barns and getting the kittens and there was only this one left! So of course sure! I go to Pet Smart buy a crate, bowl, water bowl, food, collar, etc. we go to pick him up and now he's wearing a collar! What?, so we call the night watchman and he explains that he is attached to this cat and wants to keep him. Ok - next day take everything back to Pet Smart! One week later get another call really need to get the cat no one can take care of him! This time he got put in a box for the ride home and went by the dollar store for a small bag of food! Needless to say he entered our home and our hearts and we will forever miss him!
This cat was so easy going and loved everyone - even if you didn't like cats you Loved Ruger!!
I found this old picture of Ruger he was only a year old in this picture.
A few more memories for us to remember: Ruger climbing a tree in Florida during a storm and stayed there for 3 days until we finally found him!
Ruger getting a UTI...stones...etc. right before and after Anthony was born - I finally could not take him being in pain and told Tony to put him to rest and guess what...he never had another problem with that!
3/2007 - 6/4/2012 May you rest in peace! I thought he would be with us for so many more years to come but it wasn't meant to be. Love and miss you......
