Real Boy Dog

It has been hard for me to start this blog for Ralphy. It was so hard for me to deal with his loss, and I still feel that tugging hurt in my heart when I remember that he is actually gone. I decided to name this blog "Real Boy Dog" because he was so much more than just "a dog" to us all. We always told him he was "a real boy". He was part of us and our family. I call him my "Animal Soul Mate", because he really was. I have never felt the type of connection I had with Ralphy for any other animal, and honestly, with a lot of people too. When he died, I felt like part of my soul died too. I really did, and I think it was so hard for me to handle because I know I will never have that kind of connection in this life again. Pretty crazy for some people to understand, I know. But he is my baby Ralphy.... and I will always miss him!

I wanted to start this blog for all of us. To write and remember our memories of sweet Ralphy. I know I need and want to do that, because I have so many, and with time, our memories tend to fade. So please, write, post pictures, let's remember our "Kitty Ridder Ralph". Then we will be able to look back at this, and feel good about how much Ralphy touched our lives. Get sappy (like I have), and get happy, because that was Ralphy! He brought so much happiness to us!
