Memorial in progress
As part of my coping with the loss of Rayna. I have started to paint her portrait which will hang most likely above my fireplace, with her Urn underneath it. Here is my progress. The final will be revealed in a separate post.

Goodbye my sweet Ray of light.
The foundation of Ruffleith. She is the first of so many firsts here,
but mostly the heart, joy, and ray of sunlight in our home and lives.
You will always be remembered my sweet NaNa (Brianna's pet name)
RayRay (Tyler's pet name).

Come on home !
In 2008, Juno was pick puppy from our very first litter here at Ruffleith co-bred with Kim Aston and Peter Culumovic of Laureate Shelties. Out of our litter of 6, 3 would remain here at Ruffleith and one to live with Laureate - that being Laureate Alinea - Juno .
3 years later... Miss Juno has made her back to her birth home to live with us and her dam, Rayna and littermate Rosé.
We are so exicited to see what this girl will bring, other than bring a smile to our faces everytime we look at her.
Thank you Kim and Pete for sharing this beauty with us. And thank you Kim for taking time out of your day to bathe, groom and take these beautiful pictures of her. I do appreciate it.
Juno has a page on our site.... http://www.ruffleith.ca/Juno.html

Rio is such a happy happy boy.
Protected in the backyard up on the fence, between the tree and "dogs" I look to find 2 beautiful eggs. I hope all goes well, that they are born and live to experience life as we know it. Well, a birds life.
The first green puppy (early placenta detachment)
born at Almonte vet - pic taken by Dr. Amanda Malloy.
No has ever seen a green pup... alive anyways. He was special for all.
We called him the Grinch.. and ask the people by his name at the Vets... they remember him.
He lived one day.
The lilacs are blooming

yes... life is soooo busy that one forgets certain things..always saying I'll do it today.... and today never comes...Plans that were planned out, but never happened... procrastinating... I hate it. Today... with the sun gleaming... and working in the garden... I stopped to smell the roses... got the shovel... picked out the most peaceful spot... and finally gave these 3 babes a proper goodbye burial. The lone daffadil and the peoney plant will remind me of them always. Beside the rock is my sign "Sheltie Crossing"
