Ruby, known to everyone as Ru, was an absolute princess. She came into her family’s lives at just two years old, rescued from a rescue centre, and from that moment she became the pinnacle of the family, the emotional heart and anchor that held everyone together.
Ru loved her toys and adored her walks, but nothing compared to being off the lead with room to zoom. It was on the beach that she was happiest of all, and there was nothing quite like watching her run free with the wind behind her, pure joy in every stride.
Sadly, on the 13th of August 2026, at 12 years old, Ru’s family said the hardest goodbye to their bestest girl. She passed peacefully at home in her own bed, surrounded by the family who loved her, exactly where she belonged. The Springfield Pet Cremation team were honoured to care for Ru afterwards, carrying out her individual, dignified dog cremation with the same love and gentleness she gave her family every day of her life.
Her paw prints will always be in our hearts, and our lives were truly blessed because she was part of them.
Sleep tight, Ru.
