The Full Story
Welcome to Ricsi Roo Publishing
Ricsi Roo Publishing began as a simple dream from an ordinary pet dad whose life was transformed by some truly extraordinary animals. It all started with three unforgettable friends: Theodore the Westie, Barclay the Yorkie, and Fluffy the Pitbull, who bravely lived with hemophilia. Caring for Fluffy for nearly twelve amazing years inspired a journey that changed not only one person’s life, but also helped make a difference in the veterinary world.
Throughout the Ricsi Roo series, you’ll meet a whole cast of wonderful pets - Theodore, Barclay, Oliver, Millie, Petey, Lilgurl, Sebastian, and Samson - each with their own adventures, quirks, and big hearts.
But the magic doesn’t stop with them. Every animal has a story worth telling. Dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, horses, cows, pigs, and so many others fill our world with love, laughter, and lessons. Ricsi Roo Publishing exists to help share those stories so they can inspire, comfort, and connect people of all ages.
If you love writing, drawing, storytelling, poetry, or simply want to honor a special animal in your life, you’re welcome here. Ricsi Roo is dedicated entirely to celebrating animals and the humans who love them. Our website is a place to explore heartfelt stories, learn from others, and enjoy the creativity of a community that believes every pet’s life matters.
We’re glad you’re here. Welcome to Ricsi Roo - where every animal’s story finds a home.
Little Stories. Big Hearts
Every animal is wonderfully unique. Just like people, they each have their own personality, quirks, and ways of seeing the world. Some are bold and bouncy, others are gentle and quiet. Some enjoy perfect health, while others face challenges. Some grow up in loving homes, and others wait a little longer to find the care they deserve.
At Ricsi Roo, you’ll discover stories from animals of all kinds - pets who’ve lived in busy cities, peaceful farms, cozy apartments, and everywhere in between. Along the way, you’ll learn real veterinary terms and ideas that might spark curiosity in future caregivers, healers, and animal advocates.
Heroic Rescues.
There are incredible people out there who dedicate their lives to rescuing animals, nursing them back to health, and helping them find their forever families. Here, you’ll meet animals who’ve overcome tough beginnings, healed from both physical and emotional wounds, and finally found safety, comfort, and love.
Loving Memorials.
There comes a day when our animal friends are no longer by our side, and our hearts feel tender and heavy. We miss them deeply. We remember the joy they brought, the comfort they gave, and the love they shared so freely during their time with us.
Here, you’ll find heartfelt tributes to the companions who once filled our days with warmth and wonder. Even though their paws, wings, or whiskers are no longer part of our everyday world, the love they gave continues to live inside us. It fills the quiet spaces, softens the sadness, and reminds us how lucky we were to share our lives with them.
These pages honor that love - gentle, lasting, and forever ours.
Tell your own story
Every animal leaves prints on our hearts, and every story has the power to touch others. We invite you to share your own story about a companion who changed your life. Whether you work in veterinary care, volunteer in rescue, or simply love your pet with all your heart, your words can help others feel seen, comforted, and inspired.
Ricsi Roo Publishing welcomes contributions from everyone - veterinary organizations, blood banks, rescue groups, rehabilitation centers, sanctuaries, schools, and individuals alike. We love stories, poems, essays, lyrics, and artwork that celebrate the lives of animals and the people who care for them.
You’re welcome to write your story in English and, if you’d like, in another language of your choice so you can share your message with readers from your own culture and community. Love knows no language barriers; understanding is found in the hearts of those who are open to hear it.
Your story could become part of a collection that reaches thousands of readers who share the same love and compassion for animals.
