Ruby Loves Everybody

Hi--I'm Karen, Ruby's new foster mom. We've had her for just a week today. Here's how she is doing:

Over Easter weekend, Ruby got to meet three new people, and a new dog. She was a champ all the way around--as far as she was concerned, they were just friends she hadn't met yet. The dog was a 4-lb
diva of a Pomeranian, but pretty soon they were taking naps next to each other on the floor.

Ruby is coming along nicely on crate training. She has her beloved fuzzy pad where she sleeps right in front of the door of the crate, and she goes in and out--just because she can. Once a day, we tempt her in with shredded cheese in the back corner. We tried peanut butter, but she won't touch it! (Whoever heard of a dog that doesn't like peanut butter?)

Another unheard-of trait of Ruby's: she hates to sit on the couch, and will jump off if you put her there. It's hard to tell if she hates *our* couch--it's leather--or if it extends to all couches.

And she loves being brushed!
