Oh Nos.....

Look what came out of the closet this weekend...

I asked the smarterst pupper I know, the Bugg GooRoo, what it could mean and here is what she said...

Rubeh, gud newz!!! Dat meenz yoor mommeh is puttun stuff in dah box to takez to dah storr to sellz hur stuf fur moneh to buyz YOO morr stuf!!!! Congradyoolashuns!

But I don't think Bugg is 100% correct. Mom did say she would be buying me something special but that I have to stay with Auntie Yvette. I asked her where she was going and do you know where she is going???? To NJ and NY!!! She said she's going for work, but I know she's also going to see my sister AND guess who else...

Can you believe it? She's going to see the bootiful Miss Asta...one of my bestest girl friends!!! I sure wish I could go...do you think she'd notice if I sneaked into her bag??? There's a lot of room in there...I'm little, I could fit.

Sleepy Sunday #28

Featuring today's special guest stars...

Charlie Daniels & Molly

Awww....isn't that sweet? And I just love Molly's coat! Hope you all have a nice sleepy - snuggly - Sunday!!!

Catching Up - Visits from Bob and Cooper

Hey Pups and Kitties...

In a concerted effort to catch up up on what I've been doing while my Mom has been too lazy to post (Ruby's Mom: Stop that...not nice!) I thought I'd share some pictures of my visit in June with Bob and Cooper.

Bob & Cooper came to stay with me for a whole week!!! It was a blast!!! Bob and I played bitey face and played toy-tug...

We hung around outside...

Nice doofus face Bob - hee hee hee

Bob swam and hung by the pool...

Cooper even graced us with his presence by hanging in the house with us!

Although he does look a little nervous, doesn't he!!!

Mom thought this was an exceptionally funny shot...looks likes I'm eating Bob's eyeball, doesn't it?

But I'm not!

All and all it was a wonderful visit...I really like hanging with the Boys. I sure hope they come back and visit soon - W00t! Oh, wait, my Mom has something she wants to share about their visit...wonder what it could be??? Here ya go Mom...

Ruby's Mom:

Hello everyone...it's been a while, I know. Thanks for hanging in there with us. Things are very busy, but I promise to help Ruby post whenever I can. Anyway, I wanted to share a little something about Bob and Cooper's visit. They have stayed with us several times and I can always count on Cooper hiding in the garage...yes, he's still kind of afraid of Ruby. And Bob who is just a love bug hangs with us all the time. Ruby just loves playing with him, but Ruby also likes to do something else (puppies...avert your eyes)...

Can you see the position Ruby's getting into...yes, she is starting to do what you think she is starting to do! She did this with Bob every chance she could get (sorry Mack and Stanny). This is a tame picture...but when she gets going...well...you get the idea! And yes, Bob has a good 80lbs on her too!!! Poor Bob...but much to my surprise, he seems to kinda enjoy it (or at least he doesn't seem to mind). The only time he gets upset is when Ruby manages to get her paw in a place that it shouldn't be if you catch my drift.

I know it's a dominance thing with Ruby...this is her house afterall, but still it is very odd to see and I do try and stop it...but like I said, Bob seems to enjoy it - LOL! OK, I'll turn this back over to Ruby...

OMD!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE MY MOM SAID ALL THOSE THINGS!!! THEY ARE SO NOT TRUE. BOB WAS JUST TRYING TO GIVE ME A RIDE...KINDA LIKE A HORSEY RIDE!!!!

I think I'm going to sue her for deaf-a-mashun of character or something like that!!! How dare she say those things about me...please don't believe anything she says....

MOM...WE ARE SO IN A FIGHT RIGHT NOW...TALK TO THE PAW!!!

A Tag!!!

Can you believe this? I've posted 3 days in a row!!! Amazing, huh? Better not make too much of a big deal out of this because it might throw Mom off our little streak here! So shhhhhhhhh, don't say anything, OK?

Anyhowl, my adorable puggy pal Clover and her hunky bro Chewie tagged me - W00t! I think I've been tagged a few times for this already - oops!

Here are the rules:

1) open the folder that has your pet pics in it

2) choose one you haven't posted before

3) tell its story

4) tag 5 friends

So almost all my pictures are up on Flckr now and Mom and I went a-looking at them. Boy, has she, oops I mean we been lazy about posting some of these! So the pix I chose was when Bob and Cooper came to visit in June. Oh, I had so much fun, but you wouldn't know it from this picture, would you???

My, my, my how serious we look, don't you think. Here's how the conversation went...

Ruby: Mom, I need a snackie

Bob: Well, if Ruby is getting a snackie, I need one two...or maybe I need three.

Ruby: Bob, you me too as in 'also' or 'as well'. Not two. Two is a number...silly Bob.

Bob: OK, OK, I get it now...Auntie Michele, can I also and as well have some snackies...like maybe two or three???

So there you have it...that Bob...very cute and very excitered about foodables. Who can blame him. Now I have to tag some friends. My apologies if you've already been tagged for this but I tag...

1) my Macky

2) Dixie

3) Ares

4) Moco

5) Bajas

Mom, better not get any ideas...

So on one of my favority sites, Celebrity Dog Watcher, there was this article about a lady in some foreign country marrying her dog.

Emily Mabou was so tired of her former boyfriends who were cheaters and skirt-chasers that she finally found a partner who was kind, loyal, faithful and treats her 'with so much respect' it’s HER DOG!

A priest performed the blissful union between the 29 year-old woman and 18 month old dog (he’s still a PUPPY!!!) in front of curious villagers since the woman’s family boycotted the nuptials, saying it was 'a stupid step to combat her loneliness'.

When asked about starting a family, Emily said 'we’ll adopt'.

Hmmmm...I'm not so sure about that. I mean, if I'm gonna marry anydoggie it's certainly not gonna be my Mom! She's sooooooooooo not my type - BOL!!!

Happy Barkday Sis!

Hey, today is my fursister Sophia's barkday - W00t! She is 4 years old!!!!

See how much alike we are...she loves to snuggle and sleep!

And of course she is bootiful too!!!!

Hope you had a great day Sis and gots lots and lots of snackies. Mom is so excited she is going to finally meet you in pawson...I just wish I could come and play with you too!!!

Lots of Love and Licks, your sissie Ruby

Sleep Sunday #25

The day after...

OK, so it wasn't as bad as where we used to live, but I could still hear them. Mom couldn't find my Rescue Remedy either so it was about 2 hrs of barking. Mom thought by turning the TV-box up would help...but clearly she's not so bright since I can hear things she can't. Silly hooman. Anyway, I'll be doing LOTS more sleeping than usual today. Hope you pups did ok.

Hope you have a happy (quiet) and fun 4th!

My house guests didn't come this weekend, but I did have some very special visitors yesterday...I promise to tell you all about it on Monday. Oh and go visit Asta...she's very sad and needs some encouragement...please, please, please go cheer her up, ok???

Sleep Sunday #24

Almost Wordless Wednesday

The other day Bogart posted a picture about the piggy flu.  Well, the people that work with my Mom did this to the piggy at her desk...

Who is this masked piggy and how come I've never met him/her???

My work just never ends...

Pups...I tell you...there is no stopping me working on Tuesdays!

My Mom has asked me very nicely to help her out by posted something for her (she may have also mentioned something about me getting some ice cream for doing it too)! See a friend of hers from work needs some help...a member of their family is up for this really big prize on the TLC website - W00T! They need lots of votes to win. They sound like a very cool family...and have 6 very adorable girl people pups! If you pups can vote for them, that would be very very cool. And I promise to virtually share my ice cream with you...here's the link. You want to make sure and vote for the Voiles Family. Voting is open till May 18th and you can vote once per day - W00t! Thanks pups!!!

Taste Testing

I have two things on the work agenda today.  First up, taste testing bully sticks...this is tough work you know.  First, you need to find a comfortable location.  I personally like the bed or Mom's side of the sofa.  For some reason, she is never happy about this.  Next, you have to make sure you have a good hold of the bully.  And without opposable thumbs, this is a challenge.

OK, I think I've got it...

Next you need to take a bite...nom nom nom...ah the sweet, smokey aroma.  This is a good one for sure, you can tell by my foam mouth - hee hee hee!

This IS a really good one for sure...nom nom nom.  Taste testing bully sticks, is hard work, but you know, I'm willing to do whatever it takes!

Next up...I working hard at celebrating.  You know why???

I'll be jetting off to visit my Mack and his sister Lilly today.  I'm hoping Lilly will be making some of those yummy chicken liver enchiladas she's know for.  Have a great day - W00t!

May the 4th be with you...

Happy Star Wars Day my friends.  Look at Harles...ready to celebrate too, he is!

To Nanny, Happy barkday. Yeesssssss, I mean W00t! 

(As spoken by Yoda-Ruby! Yes, hmmm.)

Sleep Sunday #17

Oh, I'm so tired. I just got home from the big wedding weekend and Mom wanted to hear all about it, but I could hardly keep my eyes open...must...sleep...
zzzzz...zzzzz...zzzzz...what a fun time...zzzz...zzzzz...zzzzz

Preparations

OMD I have just been so busy...between working for the Snuggle Puggle, and being a nursie I've had to prepare AireRuby for the big event tomorrow.  First off, AireRuby wouldn't be complete without a quick rinse...

I was a little worried at first, but it will wash right off after the event!!!

Next, I needed to find a suitable beverage.  Of course my first thought was to go to the Drink-Mistress, Lacie, but I changed my mind...I mean Lacie, I love you girl, but you do have a bit of a reputation and this is supposed to be a very refined event.  So here's what I found...and don't worry, there aren't any grape products in this...remember, us doggies shouldn't be eating grapes!

And finally, I needed to make sure the flowers had arrived, the banner was hung correctly, the cake didn't fall over and just do all the decorating and tidying up.  Thank doggness my Macky offered to help me!  

Looks smashing, doesn't it?  OK, I must go...the snackies are about to arrive.  I'll be taking off as soon as I get the snackie put away to pick up the bootiful bride and her lovely Maid of Honor.  So keep a look out for me and remember, we've got quite a few kitties on board so let's all try and get along!

Feel Better Cooper

My buddy Bob's bro Cooper isn't feeling too great right now.  His eye is hurting him because he has a app-sense, whatever that means.  Anyhowl, I thought I might trade in my pilot's hat for a nurses cap.  I mean if Lacie can be a nurse, I sure think I can!!!!

What do you pups think?

Feel Better Coops!!!  I know you don't like me very much (the big fella is, um, afraid of me - imagine that?!?!), but I sure want you to get better soon so that we can play!

Sleep Sunday #16

On the Job...

Well, I'm back to work this week...and boy did I have an important job...Keeping Jakey safe in the water! And I don't even like going in the water!!! What a pupgirl must do!!! Well, Jake did fine and so did I. Jake is one cool people pup. I've got lots to tell you about, but I'm really busy...I'm also taking care of a sick Mom.  Oh, the work just never ends.

Sleep Sunday #15

MIA

OMD Pups, I'm so sorry for being gone for a few days...especially sorry to my boss Eduardo for having missed work on Tuesday.  I promise I have a good reason...really I do...I'm getting some visitors tomorrow!  OMD I can't wait.  My Auntie Kelly and her people pup Jake are coming to hang out with me.  I promise to write all about our fun and adventures - W00t!!!!
