Ditto's Pedigree

 

On October 26,2010, Ditto was helped to the Rainbow Bridge by his loving owner Ruth Miller.  The diagnosis was a brain tumor. 

 

He fought a good battle, but the pain was wearing him down.  He is pain-free now and, if there is a show ring in heaven, I am sure he is running around with the same regal attitude he had here on earth.

 

He would have turned 11 at the end of this coming January.  This sweet boy was a littermate to my Max.  He was Ruth's first showdog and she showed him herself.  She finished his championship in 8 months, all owner-handled.

 

I was able to see Ditto often since Ruth and I are friends and she lives nearby. 

 

For the past few weeks, I would Skype (webcam) with Ruth and visit Ditto.  He always recognized my voice and face in her laptop.  Today, I was able to spend about 1.5 hrs. with him via Skype.  When we first connected, he made his "woo woo" noises and talked to me for several minutes.  Then, he was tired and I would just talk to him.

 

I am so thankful that Ruth gave him so much love in his lifetime and that she allowed me to spend time with him on his last morning.  Ditto was Ruth's soul mate.  He is at rest now.

 

Ruth told me that the words below from the Elvis Presley song Gently, explains the deep love she and Ditto had for each other.

____________

 

Gently your eyes met mine
Tender, trusting, true
Gently your hand took mine
Thrilled me through and through

Gently, oh so gently
Gentle as the dawn
Gently, oh so gently
Our true love was born

Gently your lips kissed mine
As we strolled along
Gently your heart touched mine
Young and warm and strong

Gently the hour is near
When true loves have to part
Gently we’ll meet again
One more kiss, sweetheart
