The bad just got worse

5/28/2012

 
    So today Mom has been very quiet and not really in a great mood.  I have to admit that it has to do with last night and I half way expected it.  Dad does nothing to help the matter because he hasn't even apologized for the whole thing.  And if Mom says anything he just says "Well, what should I have done?"  And Mom just walks away and said "Nothing Dear, Nothing"
    So I did what I always do when Mom and Dad are having a tiff as I call it.  I go ride.  Today Dad went with me.  When we were out at the barn Ranger my LGD was fine.  He was barking and jumping around like normal.  That was about 5pm.  When Dad and I got done riding we went and ate a bite before I went back out to do chores at 7pm.  When I got out there Ranger had passed away.  
    Yes I just said that.  My LGD at the age of 1 and 1/2 years old passed away tonight for no visable reason.  I can't even imagine why and I think I just don't believe it.  How can it be?  He was fed, watered, had his own flock and he was loved.  I don't get it.... He is the Dog on all my stuff.  He is our Flock dog and  a QT.  Remember these pictures???

    Ranger was one of the farm and I don't understand this.  Mom says that all she can think of is that he could have been snake bit but I don't know.... I do know one thing though.  My banner will never change.  Ranger will be in the banner forever.  He is the first, the one and only, Ranger the QT dog ...

Oh RJ, I am so sorry. I know this is so hard. I must admit when I started reading my first thought was a snake bite. Be gentle with yourself.

RJ really, really sorry. If ever there was a dog who was loved and who had a good life, it was Ranger.
