Ruby's Spayed, But You Wouldn't Know She Had Surgery From Her Behavior

Ruby continues to amaze us with her cheerful, sweet personality. She was spayed on Thursday, but by Friday was already dancing on her hind legs for treats. That made me hurt just to think about it, but I guess Ruby is a fast healer!

We don't give out treats around here unless the dog is sitting, so Ruby has learned "sit." She gives lie to the old expression "You can't teach an old dog new tricks."

Ruby still likes walks, and she likes to walk beside you, not in front or in back. Walking 2 dogs last night attracted some attention from the neighbors, but Ruby loves everybody, so everybody gets to pet Ruby.

We also got her a new crate, a wire one she can see out of on all sides, and she has made it her den. She eats there, and takes her naps there, but she still wants to sleep near our Chow Chow at night. We have not been very disciplined about acclimating her to having the door shut, but we will start doing it more regularly this week.

Oh--Ruby decided she likes biscuits, after all.
