RUBY’S JOURNAL
Hi Everyone,
WE DID IT – AGAIN! I graduated from Elementary School, with “honors”. On the last night of class I took first place in the “name game”. I had to start in a circle with an “X” in it, then run to Mom and sit. After the others were eliminated, I raced the second best and won! Sam said I could sit the fastest because I was the closest to the ground. Being the smallest in class has some benefits. In this class it really was “WE”. Mom and Dad shared the duties, but I have to work the whole hour! Sometimes I would rather sniff all of the good smells on the floor, and pick up all of the dropped treats! I am quite young to be this far advanced, but Sam thought I could do it. (As long as someone pays for it!) Not really, I know some other dogs did “flunk” out. My neighbor Reecee couldn’t do it, and in my class a dog that howled all the time was asked not to come back?
I killed a mouse! Well, it was already dead, so I just ate the stuffing out of it! I don’t know why I did it, but no one was paying any attention to me so I climbed the stairs to the landing and grabbed it! Sorry Annie, I know it was your Chrisman present from Scarlett, BUT you should not have left it lying around in plain sight! Next time I bet you will pick up your toys, or hide them from me! The stuffing is a little hard to swallow, and I could have used some water to wash it down with, BUT Mom took it away from me and sent me directly to my crate! I was tired anyway?
I don’t think I will be getting any more ice cubes that drop from the refrigerator, Mom heard a story about someone’s dog that broke a tooth chewing on ice cubes? I tried to eat ice I dug up outside, but now the snow is so deep I can’t find it! Aunt Deb wouldn’t let me eat ice when she took me out for a “bombs away” either, she thought I would have too much water and have to get up more times in the night?
My girth is expanding? Last time we went to PetSmart Dad weighted me and I’m 12.5 pounds. That included my harness and leash! I wish he would have taken my harness and leash off that would have been more accurate – Mom says she takes her shoes off when she gets weighted at the doctor’s office? Anyway, my coats are getting too tight. Guess Mom will have to make me a new one!
I’m going out now by myself to do my “bombs away”. Not sure if it’s because I’m maturing or if it is because Mom and Dad don’t want to get dressed and go out in the single digit temperatures? While Mom was shopping today (hopefully to get material for a bigger coat for me), Dad came out looking for me, BUT he shut the door and we were locked out of the house! Fortunately Bailey and his Mom were home so we could wait inside until Mom got home! Guess Dad forgot where he hid the key, I knew, because I picked it up off of the back step in the garage and brought it in the house to play with! After that I had a nice warm bath (they’re not so bad) and got dried with the hair dryer!
Love and Puppy Kisses, Ruby
