It is with a very heavy heart that I must relay that Brandy beloved pup of Rick and Ross has passed over the Rainbow Bridge.  She was a most amazing pup, full of love and devotion to Rick and family and dear sister to Memorial resident Anastasia..  Our hearts and thoughts are with you both Rick and Ross now and always. 

Rick has a memorial up in his blog and I've pasted in a bit below.

With everything being so fucked up right now, Ross not well yet and now Brandy passed away this morning. My baby I have had since she was 4 months old. She has been through a lot with me. She had comforted me through the years. She shared many happy moments, many sad moments.

To have loved and then said farewell, is better than to have never loved at all.
For all of the times that you have stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you.

For the care that you gave to me so unselfishly.
For all of these things I am grateful and thankful.

I ask that you not grieve for the loss, but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each others lives. My life was fuller because you were there, not as a master/owner, but as my FRIEND.

Today I am as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among the flowers and the Sun shines gently down upon all of the creatures mother earth has provided.

I can run, jump, play and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints and no regrets and no aging.

We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know that togetherness is forever.
You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such as you are so rare and unique.
Don’t hold the love that you have within yourself. Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies, and you are loved and missed as surely as we are.
