Red Ruby

Don't agree with this though. When I was looking for my Cocker my girls were fairly young - oldest was 8, youngest was 18 months old when she came to us so they were quite a bit younger when I first started the search (took a looooooooooong time to get my girl ). I don't know the answer to why you aren't having much luck - it might just not be 'your time' There will be a pup/dog out there for you that IS the right one i believe in fate...and i am really starting to think its not my time :D My childrens ages are 4, 2 and 1...I tend to get the how do i cope now from ppl..and then it begs the question how will i cope with a dog aswell..You just do. and it wont make a difference to me , The dog will be spoilt rotten and have 5 people after its attention. I have 5 young children and cope perfectly well with our puppy!!! I find the more children you have the more organised you are.

My hubby has always been the doggy person, our dogs have always bonded with him. They like me but will ignore me completely when he appears. But not Ruby!! She will ignore him completely when she sees me 100% of the time. It is really frustrating him because he isn't used to it at all...I LOVE it!!! She will sit at my feet, tail wagging, staring at me pleading for a pat even if he is laying on the floor calling her name right near me. If we both sit on the floor she will come straight over to me and lick me or lay next to me.

Happy birthday Aubrey!! What a lovely picture!!

I was standing in line at IGA yesterday to buy some bread and was looking at the for sale board. I noticed a sign for Staffy X JRT pups for $700 :D . My little mind just can't even conjure up what that strange combo would even look like!!! Love sure has got to be blind...I can't imagine what either dog would see in the other

A couple were out walking their dogs...maybe a lazy couple who didn't want to carry their own thongs...but they were exercising their dogs none the less...unlike most pet owners who are lucky to venture out in the yard to see their dogs once a week!! Why does every discussion have to turn into a pissing contest about who knows best?

Ruby has been home 3 weeks today.

good or bad?! Huge lack of sleep, but she is fantastic now!!

That sucks but at least you get one more good nights sleep before she arrives I remember that first week

I can't believe people have dogs in a workplace that has a constant stream of clients flowing through like that! I love dogs and have Ruby inside...but if I go somewhere like the hair salon I think it is unhygienic to have a dog roaming around in a business like that. If it was a pet store or a vet or something like that, or even an office with no constant public contact, I have no problem...but I think it's wrong in a public place.

I am sure I was a member here a few years ago but could for the life of me remember my username or password. I joined to get as much info as I could and make some new friends who also were going through the puppy stage!

I can so relate to this!! My hubby has started saying "God, her tail is wagging...what has she done wrong or destroyed now?"....the joys of a puppy!

Don't have anything exciting to say really...but I am over this rainy weather!!

OMG how cool was that!! I think it's a bulldog isn't it!

He is CUTE!! Love his colouring and those eyes!! What a cute boy....Looks like they are great friends already!

Ruby's new collar arrived today and it looks so cute!! It's fake croc skin and I love it!! She had a great sleep last night from 10 - 5am...hope it's as good or better tonight!
