Ralph

I BOUGHT RALPH IN A PET STORE, SOMETHING I WOULD NOT NORMALLY DO. HE WAS A GREAT DANE PUPPY. IT WAS THE DAY BEFORE X-MAS AND THE THOUGHT OF HIM BEING IN THAT CAGE REALLY BOTHERED ME PLUS THE FACT THAT "SILENT NIGHT" WAS PLAYING IN THE BACK- ROUND. RALPH DEVELOPED BONE CANCER WHEN HE WAS 5 1/2 YEARS OLD.

HE WAS A VERY SPECIAL DOG AND I FELL THAT OUR TIME TOGETHER WAS TOO SHORT. I FEEL ROBBED. HE HAD A GOOD LIFE, HE LOVED HIS WALKS AND SLEEPING ON THE BED WITH US AT NIGHT. I THOUGHT HE WOULD BE AROUND FOR AT LEAST 7 OR 8 YEARS AS DANES DO NOT HAVE A LONG LIFE.

RALPHY YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED AND LOVED. WE NOW HAVE A MASTIFF PUPPY NOT FOR US TO FORGET RALPH BUT TO EASE THE PAIN OF LOOSING HIM.
