Pack Member Introduction:
Ruby
She is still very much a puppy at heart. Ruby is the daughter of Louis and Fluff. In fact Ruby is the only dog left related to Ferro. Louis was adopted early this summer, and Ferro is a spayed pet. Though Ruby reminds me of neither of her parents. She was too soft for the show ring (we struggled in conformation classes for a long time). She recently got a haircut cut. Ruby feels like a divine punishment sent by the Maltese dog gods. She is agile, brilliant, and energetic. For Ruby "no" means "try again in a minute when no one is looking". Ruby keeps me on my toes and insists on being involved in absolutely everything. Don't misunderstand me, I adore her... there is something about her that I deeply admire. She doesn't care what I think or want, and I respect that. Ruby may hate travel and the show ring, but at home you would never know she was that soft. Ruby spends the first hour she is out in the morning having zoomies around all the furniture. She cannot be stopped, she runs and runs and then runs some more. She can jump over things and climbs whenever possible, at times she reminds me more of a cat (except a cat isn't as happy). If I trip on a dog, it's almost always her. She is there, and then she is gone. It's like living with The Flash or Sp*edy Gonzales. Even when Ruby climbs in my lap she paces, gets petted, and then takes off. She never stops moving. Honestly whatever battery she is running on, I need to know because it never runs low. I don't have a lot of photos of her because she literally never sits still long enough for me to take any. Ruby feels like 5 dogs all by herself most days. She is so busy.
