Hi all I mentioned in my last post I was thinking of getting another dog, Tango is thirteen in a few days and I know I will be absolutely bereft when he goes, I’ve never been without a dog in over 40 years and I don’t think I could function without the love and companionship of one. My friend Sue brought the subject up again when she looked after Tango when I went to Jersey, as she knows too well what I’d be like., so we set the wheels in motion. It got round the dog world of obedience that I’m involved in and I had a few offers and suggestions. I opted for one from an old friend of mine. She was from a broken home and is eight years old and has been with my friend for about 5 years. she breeds little Spitz dogs and felt that Ruby just needed a home of her own. I didn’t want a young dog as they can live till 15 years and that would take me …. well we won’t go there…pass.
She is very shy as she hasn’t had a lot of socialising for some time, so my work is going to be cut out gaining and restoring her confidence. Though she appears to want affection.
She’s small which suits me now, I don’t feel up to coping with German Shepherds any more. sigh
Tango has accepted her as he does with all dogs.
She peed on my sheepskin rug. fingers crossed that was a one off.
Ruby is beautiful. I think you have made a wise choice!
ReplyDeleteShe's precious and is probably nervous as it must be stressful starting over in a new home.
ReplyDeleteNice looking canine!
ReplyDeleteI've always loved my dogs as well. But we have a neighbour who hates them, so it's best we don't have one. Good luck with yours.
ReplyDeleteRuby is lovely Arlene, good for you giving her a home with you and Tango. I'm sure she's going to be right at home in no time.
ReplyDeleteShe's a beauty, Arlene! Buddy had one accident just after we brought him home but none since. I think it may have been nerves. He was also a little stand offish but he's been here three days now and has taken over the house!
ReplyDeleteRuby is a lovely dog. Time and patients will have this doggie come around.
ReplyDeleteI am sure she will be ok Arlene...I don't know a lot about dogs' but i am sure she is just making herself at home good luck
