Ryan Lynn

I adopted Ryan in 1999 from an animal shelter after seeing him on the morning news. He was 8 months old. We had an instant bond. I never had a dog I felt so connected to. He became best friends with my cat Emmy, too. They snuggled together every night. He was a big lover & gave everyone kisses. Or he would lay on his back and wait for you to give him a belly rub. He loved women. He always followed me everywhere in the house and yard. He was always on the bed at night. We traveled together a lot. He loved going to the beach. He was always smiling. He had the most expressive eyes. It was as if you could tell what he was thinking. He loved all his squeak toys. I had never seen a dog play so enthusiastically with his toys. He had a big toy box and would go and get whatever toy he wanted. He played with all of them! I loved getting him toys and bringing them home because he was always so overjoyed to get them. He loved going to Petsmart. He loved his vegetarian dog cookies, All you had to do was ask if he wanted a cookie and he would get so excited. He would do his one trick, roll over, in order to get them. He loved carrots, too. He was the best guard dog. I always felt so safe with him as my protector. During the time I had him I went through three surgeries and deaths in my family. He was always there to comfort me. I never thought I could love a dog so much. Every single day I laughed at something he did. He brought so much joy into my life. He died suddenly at 10 years of age during surgery for a tumor on his adrenal gland. I feel I'll never stop crying. Ry, my little man, best friend, soulmate & traveling buddy, Emmy & I miss you terribly. Emmy looks for you every night. You were the king of my house. Everyone that met you loved you. My life will never be the same. I love you. Rest well little guy. Love, Mom
