So today is a VERY special day. It is one year ago today - June 8th - that I came to live with my Mom, Michele. My how time flies!!! I can hardly believe it!!! Last year, my Mom and my Auntie Yvette (you know, the person who gives me the great footie massages) went all the way to San Francisco to pick me up from the airport. I was only 8 weeks old and it was real scawie. But I was a strong girl even then.
Here's a picture of me right when I got off the airplane...
Can you believe how little I was??? I was only 4 lbs! My kennel was the smallest of all the doggies who came in that day.
My Mom was real nervous...I could tell, but she did fine. And Auntie Yvette was a big help! It was a long ride home and I just slept in Auntie Yvette's lap...that was nice. Ahhhhh....
Mom was really prepared for me to come home. I guess she was planning for my arrival for a VERY long time. I had lots of toys, yummy snackies and a nice comfy bed which I went right to (and yes eventually ate - hee, hee, hee).
It took a little while for me to teach my Mom all she needed know about taking care of me...but she got the hang of it eventually. She's smart that way.
I had five other brothers and sisters my Mom could have picked. I am so happy and lucky she picked me!!!

Ruby Red! (just thought I'd try another color with your name).
Baby Ruby was adorable. No wonder you are now a bootiful big girl! My girl wouldn't leave your page for the longest time. She was transfixed by your baby photos (she's a sucker for a puppy). I think you had her hypnotised for awhile.
Love you, girl!
Stanley
I feel so bad I missed your burpday! You should e-mail Boo to get your burpday added to the DwB calendar. You were a very pretty baby and grew up the same! Good job picking your Mom. She seems to be the pick of the litter--obvious, since she chose you!
wally.
Hi, Ruby.

Luckie you, luckie your mom.
