As of January 6, 1999, Ry has passed away at the age of 4 years. She died in her sleep of old age, the way we would all like to die. She was such a sassy and cheerful companion and full of the greatest life. She was loved and will be missed deeply. I find myself wanting to beep at her, only there is no returning enthusiastic call.
