When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars
And he will make the face of Heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with the night.
– William Shakespeare

RIP sweet, sweet ramirez
my heart aches with you kathleen and scottie.
my deepest sympathy…………………………..
We’re so sorry to hear of Ramirez’ passing. He was a true friend and family member.
Your hearts will be forever full of wonderful memories of him.
With deep sympathy and much love…..
You and Scotty should be an inspiration to us all on how to treat our little furry friends that share our life. Nothing was ever too much or too time consuming for you to give to Ramirez, he was a lucky boy. You will be in my thoughts all day, I know that you are just heartbroken, just know that everyone that reads your email understands how you feel and loves you both!!
I’d like to share one of my fondest memories of ‘the boys’ life…. when you would hold him on his back when he was a young lad and I would say “I’m gonna get your pee-pee”, OMG! If looks could kill!!!
Love you guys, I’m here if you need me.

my heart hurts as if he were my own… it is unfathomable how you two must feel… but you must carry on for the others in your care… i hope he found stubby and they are catching up on the years they were apart and will be together till one of us crosses the bridge…. my deepest sympathy. suzan
Dearest Scottie and Kathleen,
What wonderful parents you have been to so many and especially sweet Ramirez. If memory serves, he was your first puppy that was the inspiration to saving and caring for so many lives! He will always be remembered! You both are in our thoughts and prayers. Love and hugs, Allison and Jim.
Kathleen & Scottie,
Although I never had the good fortune to meet Ramirez, I know he was a very, very special little guy.
My heart aches for you and all of Ramirez’s family and friends (2 AND 4 legged).
Our deepest sympathies,
Sylvia, Mike & Buster
Kathleen and Scottie —
I am so saddened to hear that Ramirez is no longer with you. The only bad thing about having a pet is when they have to leave us. I know that you will miss him every day. He was so blessed to have such wonderful “parents” that loved him the way that you did. My thoughts and sympathy are with you both — Kim
Dear Kathleen and Scottie
No heart that was ever blessed to meet him will ever be the same.
I am so sorry
With love

I am so sorry for your loss. Our hearts are never the same once we let someone in that can love us so unconditionally, especially our 4 legged furry friends that become members of our families. The joy is in rejoicing in all that they teach us about love and the important things of life. I pray that God would comfort your hearts until the tears turn into smiles remebering him.
Love ya!!

I’m sorry to hear about your little guy. It is so hard to loose a member of the family, especially the little ones that depend on us so much. Know that he had a long and happy life, and will have a special place in your hearts forever.

Kathleen & Scottie,
I am so sorry to hear about Ramirez – but also so thankful he came into your lives, and then into ours. One tiny, feisty soul, and the good that has come from your love for him…you are very much in my thoughts…cheryl b.
Hi Kathleen and Scottie,
I’m so sorry about Ramirez passing, and that I couldn’t be there for you Kath – since I was in the hospital. I hope you got the voicemail I left for you. I’m staying at mom & dad’s for the next few weeks as I’m healing up. This is my first venture on the computer since I went in for surgery. I just want you guys to know how sorry both Mark and I are and to tell you it was a pleasure knowing Ramirez. He was a gorgeous and sweet boy. I love you guys…..
I will miss him biting at my legs when I ‘attacked’ Kathleen back at your first apartment. He was a good dude. Hope you guys are doing ok.
Dear Kathleen and Scottie,
It took a little searching to find your blog. I am so sorry to hear about Ramirez. I remember the day you got him and how he and Chelsea used to play together. There is no doubt you will miss him every day.
There is nothing so pure as the love of a dog.
Love you,
Patti
