Ruby (not on Rails)

Tonight we got the latest addition to our home made zoo. When I was away this weekend our little fox terrier ran away due to a heavy thunder storm. She gets extremely frightened when the thunder rolls and tends to simply break out and take to the streets. Our eldest son was heartbroken. Naturally, the only way we could thought of was to say “well, we’ll have to get puppy to take Krummels proud place.” Needless to say that fortunately, the next day someone phone the SPCA and heard that we were looking for our beloved Krummel and the woman phoned us and we went to pick her up. Thank you, woman-who-took-care-of-her! She bathed and fed poor old Krummel and we are thankful for that!

Thing is, the idea of a new puppy just sounded so attractive to Ian! He decided not to let that one slide and started making promises of all kinds like forever doing his homework without us telling him to do it, etc. just for us to get him a little Border Collie. Needless to say, that idea did not sound half bad to myself

So, today we went and fetch Ruby, who is an 9 week old cutie! We’re absolutely stoked to have you in our extended family, Ruby!

Initially she was extremely shy, but now she’s already accustomed to her new environment and playing in and around the house!

Here is the feisty runaway Krummel.

  OMG … nutz … I wonder who will exhaust who the most - border collies need a lot of space (I know this first hand) or they go absolutely bonkers. Your only saving grace might be the fact young Ian is more energetic than that Energizer dude … good luck there Boet

Spit it out!
