Ruby's Gotcha Day Comment-a-thon

Woo Hoo!!  I've been living at my forever home for 2 years today!!  I never knew life could be so good.  Imagine me, the little back yard dog, getting to sleep on the bed, eating cookies, having foodables delivered to my doorstep by Mr. Chewy and going to the vet for every little thing.  

me - helping change the sheets

When I was first Gotcha'd I wouldn't go into the back yard, I was afraid of all the dogs we met on our hikes, I didn't know the first thing about leash walking, I refused to pee outside of our yard, much less poop.

If I can't see you, you can't see me

I was SO shy.  I didn't think anyone liked me.  And I acted either like I didn't care about anyone or I would bark and act all tough.

gentle, confident Bart

I took turns walking with my brothers.  Gizmo taught me to be confident and friendly and that everyone will like you if you just act like you like them.  Bart taught me to be gentle and kind and that I could still be shy, but I didn't need to be afraid.  They were both right.

You know at the end of the movie Pretty Woman when Richard Gere climbs up the ladder to "rescue" Julia Roberts and he asks her what happens to the princess after she gets rescued by the prince and she says, "she rescues him right back"? 

Mr. Serious

Well, I've taught Bart to PLAY!  Until fairly recently he was a very serious fellow.  Now, we chase each other through the house squeaking toys and jumping on the bed.  On hikes we run and chase in the soft sand and Bart has begun to act playful with our other dog friends -- bouncing, wiggling, pouncing...which he NEVER did before.  He was always VERY serious.  I gave that to him!

My family has given me a home and I've given them devotion, play, silliness, fun and SO much gratitude.

This is a comment-a-thon.  For every comment left today through Friday at midnight, we'll donate a dollar to homeless rotties through the man who rescued my almost-brother, Chubs - who has been adopted, by the way!

Thanks for being part of my extended pack!!

Love,

She's losing it...

We're entering into The Publicist's busy time of the year.  Not only is she NOT providing us with adequate publicity, she's just plain nuts!!

Case in point:

   
Cat Agility



She found this stupid app for her iPhone called Cat Effects (free) and she's been putting CATS into everything!!!   We fear we may not be around for a while due to her mental health issues.  Dont forget about us!!


Love,

-Bart and Ruby
