Bad Blogger!!

I have been a terrible blogger! I stopped with our wedding...which was almost two years ago and never picked back up!! Well...this would be worlds longest post if I tried, so I am going to re-cap some highlights and start now!!

2 months after our wedding...as my Christmas present, my husband got me the best gift! A PUPPY!! We got a Golden Retriever puppy and named her Ruby. She had me fooled those first few days, sweet, calm, shy....then she broke out of her shell and realized she was HOME! Now she is a rambuncous, almost 2 year old, and acts like a teenager! Stubborn, doesnt listen, and well does basically whatever she wants! HA! Luckily we are very blessed that Jeremy gets to take her to work everyday. Her main occupation, besides tearing up our pillows, is chasing geese off of Jeremy's course. She runs fairways and jumps in countless lakes just to patrol the course. There is rarely a day he doesnt take her, so on Saturday mornings (her day off) when Jeremy leaves for work she is left wondering why she is stuck home with mom! I am convinced she gets depressed when she isnt there with him. Jeremy doesnt belive me :) Here are a few pictures of our precious pooch. I tell her its a good thing she is cute...or else!

During the summer we spend hours at the Tom Sawyer Dog Park. Worth every penny! Ruby Runs and Runs and Runs...that dog cant ever run enough. You know when she lays down that she is DONE! Last summer we were introduced to the "water tubs" at the park. A great way for the dogs to cool off. Well Ruby wasnt sure what to think about the water at first, but once she got in...she never got out! We also created a monster out of her because she now thinks the lakes at Glen Oaks are very large water tubs. This summer Ruby has taken over the tubs. She kinda thinks they are all hers! If another dog is already in the tub, she puts her front paws in and just patiently waits until the other dog gets out of her tub! We even bought one of those cheap plastic pools and she LOVES it! She has successfully chewed the sides of it, but thats a retriever for you. They always have to have something in their mouth!

She loves chasing soccer balls, and Sticks, those are her favorites! Im sure my shoes would rank up there but we dont throw those around for her!!

2 things she does best...snuggling with dad and chewing up stuffed animals!
