Ray’s Best Friends

By: Elle

My sister (who was also my great aunt), and I had the great privilege and pleasure of being Ray’s best friends (along with Oliver and Lila of course). My sister, Chloe, first met Ray and Linda in 2005 and I in 2013.  It was love at first sights.

Most days one or both of us would pick Ray up in the afternoon to take him for a walk.

He paid us in biscuits.  Good biscuits but we would have done it for free because he was so much fun.  He and Linda came over to our house for dinner many times and we were invited to their house many times as well.  Biscuits were always involved, and yes, they were tasty and plentiful.  We did lots of things together.

We attended every gravy bowl of our lives and as you can see from the photo, we were very welcome.

We grilled dinner and watched football together.

When Ray wasn’t feeling well we dashed over to take care of him, although it’s pretty clear he didn’t leave us much room in the bed.

We loved and admired Ray as everyone with a brain did.  We hung on his every interesting word.

I am sad but grateful to have had such a great best friend.  Ray was every dog’s dream guy.  We will miss him very much.
