A bright new star shines in the sky.... We said goodbye to our courageous little boy yesterday. He passed peacefully in my arms at 11:30, and has joined all the hounds who wait at the bridge. He was my shadow for 7 months, my sous chef, who gallantly waited for me to drop something tastey. He lived life to the fullest every day, and would carry on like a fool, just to hear us laugh. We are honoured and blessed to have had this little dynamo share his time with us, and he will be forever in our hearts. Run free my little angel, I'll see you again one day......

My heart breaks for you in having to say good-bye to your heart pup Rin Tin Tin. Even when you know it is time to say good-bye, the pain can be over whelming, especially as you watch the life ebb from his eyes as you hold him so close and tears trickle down your cheek. Heather, he left you all of his heart encased in love for you to treasure till you meet again. Rest in peace Rin, you were so well loved by all.

Rin was a shining example of living each day to the biggest and best that he could. We could all do to live by his example. There are no gurantees in this life so we should appreciate each and every moment.
Heather thank you for sharing Rin's extraordinary journey with us.
Take care of yourself.

Rin left behind a beautiful legacy ... make every moment count and live every day to the fullest. This young man with the big ears had been ill for months but never let his problem get in the way of loving his people and bringing joy to everyone who touched his life.
Heather, thank you for sharing your sweet boy with the GRA community. He's now with Betty Boo and Parker, his Angelic family. And thank you for loving him and making every day count knowing what the outcome would eventually be. Rin was special, no doubt about it. His beautiful soul will live on in your heart.
Godspeed sweet boy Rin ....

I am so very sorry. Rin really touched my heart those months ago when you introduced his story and followed that he would be joining your family. I was so happy that this special pup would have the best-ever life and no matter how long, he would be happy. And that is the consolation... with you he knew love to the fullest and he "danced in the rain". Bless you.
Godspeed dear Rin

I would like to thank you Heather for sharing with us your adventures with Rin for the past seven months. I always loved the updates you gave on this sweet little boy. When I think of Rin, I always think of him as the GRA "Mascot" ~ the best little kennel buddy anyone could ever have. The love that you gave this little boy over the last few months was so touching.......GRA is so lucky to have someone like you looking out for all of these wonderful dogs.......I thank you for all that you do. jane

I'm so very sorry Heather. Rin's time was far too short, but he made the most of it. He was able to do that because of you.
Godspeed Rin.

What a trooper he was and what a trooper you and your family are to care for a hound whose life expectancy is so short. Run free Rin!
