Ethan's Vanilla "Ruger" Waffer
February 11th, 2019 - April 24th, 2025
Ruger was the original dog to our family. He is Ethan and I's first dog we owned as a couple. He has been through it all with us and has aged gracefully into his "old-soul" personality. There isn't anything that gets Ruger goin, he is about as mellow as they come.
​
He went with us almost anywhere and was the favorite amongst all of our extended family! Ruger loved to get out and retrieve with us when we finally got a chance to go hunting between our busy work schedules. Ruger loved to play with his other family members at anytime. In his old age he become more of a "couch-potato", and that was just fine by Ethan and I. We love him to pieces and he is the one that started it all for us! We couldn't thank him enough for being the best dog we have ever owned. Ethan and I can't wait to see him again someday in the big sky!
