Ralph

Ralphie Renard is gone.

He escaped from our fenced in backyard yesterday morning around 5:30.

Jeff looked for him, I looked for him. We don't know where he is.

This is probably the 10th time he's escaped from our various yards over the years. Each time we've been able to catch him. Not this time.

The last time he escaped I was able to track him down thru the local Humane Society. Some nice family took him in and they were very sad to give him back.

We're hoping that maybe they were there again this time.

Ralph is almost completely deaf, mostly blind and has like one tooth left in his head.

He's been through a lot with us. Moving to 3 different houses in 2 different states. Welcoming a baby, 2 other dogs, 2 cats and another kid. All taken in stride.

Yesterday was his 15th birthday.

Jeff and I can't believe we've been together long enough to have a dog in high school.

We've come to terms with Ralph being gone.

Maybe we'll find him again..........

If not, here's to you 'Babala', our first born furry son.

We miss you.
