In loving memory of Ranger.
1-2000 to 7-2016
I
feel blessed to have had Ranger in my life at for 15 of his 16 years.
He was a smart, loving and kind Labrador retriever. He had a huge
personality and could always make me smile. He was sweet but definitely
the alpha dog in the house. We adopted him from Pet Orphans in Van Nuys,
California. They found him at a local animal shelter. One of my
favorite memories of him will always be… During our adoption home check I
showed them our dog doors and the dog-run where he would go potty. I
was told "that dog will never do that". I said , "give him 10 minutes ". I
was wrong, it only took him 5 minutes. I really can't take any credit
for that. Ranger was scary-smart.
He was a known escape artist who love to explore. If we weren't careful, when a door would open he would wander out. Luckily he loved people and people loved him. Neighbors would escort him back home and strangers would call us after reading his tags. His wandering spirit never stopped.
After we started traveling in the motorhome, Ranger could not have been happier. He got to travel and explore with his family. He got to visit many state and national parks. He left his mark in countless forests, lakes and trails. Truck stops and rest stops were equally fun. He traveled in and out and through so many different states. He clocked in an estimated 20,000 miles. Definitely, a life well lived!
I will forever miss my love puppy.
Rest in peace, Ranger.
