Sweet Ruby (formerly Sweet Pea,) joined her now forever home on March 18th, 2022. At nine months old, she was found wandering the streets of Arlington, TX and brought to the local shelter, from where she was thankfully rescued by RROESR.

Ruby’s family had just moved back to Wichita and their house was still a mess but Ruby settled right in anyway. She studied her new family for a day or two and clearly decided that she liked it there because she very decisively took over the bed in the master bedroom!! Her family decided to change her name to Ruby (a bit shorter than her rescue name) so she could learn her name quickly since she would not answer to the Sweet Pea! (Ruby is a girl that knows what she wants!)

Ruby had many firsts in year one with her family: She learned how to go up and down the stairs, catch a ball and walk on the leash (more or less!) Ruby also graduated from the puppy school despite not being the best student by any stretch of the imagination! In fact, the only command she liked was “come to Mama”, which made her human Momma very happy and other parents quite jealous. (We can’t blame them!) Ruby also learned many words, and became very vocal using a wide range of the sounds. (Her family's hope is that they’ll be having long conversations pretty soon! ) During the cold winter, Ruby got her first coat, and loved it so much that nobody could take it off her - even in the house! (This girl has quite the personality!) 

Although she loves people, Ruby is still a little nervous around those she doesn’t know. She doesn’t eat much, but is still worried about having enough food in her dish (even though she always gets the best chicken pieces,) and she barks very loudly at her dad when he forgets to share! (Silly dad - how could he forget?!) One habit they can’t quite get rid of yet is her nipping at her Momma’s ankles but they are working with her because they have a feeling that she mostly does that when she is worried that they might leave and she will stay behind. (We can surely understand her concern.)

Ruby is a sweet little homebody and enjoys going for short walks (and to return home as quickly as possible!) She also likes playing with her ball or a game of tag inside the house, but isn’t a huge fan of playing in the backyard. In fact, the silly girl refuses to go outside when it’s cold or snowing! (uh oh!) Ruby takes her job of protecting her house very seriously; mostly from the Canadian geese! She loves to sleep and on her Momma’s days off she will sleep next to her until 10am without ever waking her up. Ruby loves hugs and kisses, and, man, she gives the best kisses! In fact, she loves kisses so much that they even have a designated kissing chair in the family room! (We’d love to sit in this chair!) Overall, Ruby is a healthy and a happy pup, and her family just loves her so dearly!
