Baby Ray and Legacy

Here are some pictures taken of Baby Ray and Legacy spending some time together before Baby Ray left this past Friday.

Silver Belle, Amadeus, Baby Ray, Legacy, Aaleyah Belle – all running and playing.

The return trip. Legacy pretty much always let Baby Ray run ahead of him when they would play – like he was big brother.

Six out of eight legs off the ground!

A little one on one time with Baby Ray before leaving.

This is one of the hardest things to do – letting them go. But this is what we want for all of them. Baby Ray is at wonderful foster home where he will get training, lots of TLC, and this will likely lead him to a forever home. Baby Ray will always be a part of us, a part of the rescue, a part of many human hearts.

And now a trip down memory lane…

Our darling, brave, strong, lovable Baby Ray. He came home in our mini-van. Malnourished, blind, and very sad.

He was so depressed – he wanted his mommy. So, we found her and brought her home. Baby Ray found peace and contentment and grew stronger.

Then we raced against time to get him stronger (mentally and physically) for surgery – his odds were better if it could be done before he was 6 months old.

Arriving at UF for his initial examination. He was a very brave boy at the hospital for his surgery.

Baby Ray and Legacy’s first time playing together – December 2009. And their first birthday celebration in May 2010!

And they continued to grow and have fun together.

Still growing! And their first lesson in loading – they actually went for a ride around the block – Legacy was in front.

And then there were the water games – they both love water! Baby Ray would often try to get Legacy up when he wanted to nap.

Our baby boys have grown up. While Baby Ray is now at a foster home getting lots of TLC and training, Legacy is still here and is in line for training. I know when the time is right they will both make their forever humans very proud. Their original owners had thrown them away like they were trash. Although they arrived here separately as babies, each was alone and very sick from neglect, they never gave up and we never gave up on them. They overcame all odds. They are precious and priceless and always will be – I will always be very proud of them.

And I thank all of you for being there to support us and what we do – helping those that can’t help themselves. Miracles do happen – God bless you all!
