Beaudesert KC show - 8th November 2008

Well the Beaudesert KC show was certainly a wash out.....literally. It poured down rain most of the night. Ruby wasnt successful tonight, I think in part to the rain, she hates the wet weather. All that squishiness under her toes and shes not allowed to jump in the puddles!!

So here are some photos of the night.

"We are not amused"

Lester and Marilyn in big crate, Ruby learning what it is to be in a crate!!

"I love you Daddy"

Ruby ever so grateful that Shane got her out of that crate

"This looks like a comfy seat" says Louie.

"I'm not talking to anyone!!"

Marilyn making herself comfy on one of the chairs, and refusing to be part of the conversation

"Can we go home to bed yet?"

Louie and Al just chillin' together

Ahhhhh Freedom!

"Road Trip"

A Day at the Beach 2007

Our first trip to the beach and this is what she says

"You want me to get out the car and go where????"

"Ok, this is kind of nice, love the smells on this soft stuff"

"Dont let that big wave get me Daddy!"

"Mummy did you see that big wave that nearly got me??"

"Ah, me and my Daddy going for a walk..........are they shops down there??"

Ruby's First Christmas - 2006

Ruby couldn't believe Santa Claus left her a sack full of toys, and even a toy box to put them all in!! She was very eager to get in her Santa Sack and play with all her new stuff.

Puppyhood

Here are some cute photos of Ruby as a puppy. As you can see she loves her stuffed toys. She was particularly fond of Hippo (the green toy) and her little puppy. She loved to sleep cuddled up to them.

Best Junior In Show - GDSQ 2007
