Welcome to the Family, Little Miss Ruby!

It's so hard to get a good picture of her. She is very busy when she is awake, so I caught this picture of her sleeping. Sleepy little girl.

Last week we went out to dinner, just the three of us. After dinner we decided to walk around that mall to let Eli run off some energy. While walking around we stopped in a pet store we often check out to look at kitties, puppies and fish. Well, when we walked in... there she was. I couldn't take my eyes off her and I HAD to hold her. I held her and I was SOLD! I wanted to take her home. I have never had a dog and Nick and I have gone back and forth on getting one for Eli. A friend of mine has had pugs and I have always adored them and thought a pug would be the perfect fit for our little family and our little house. It took some coaxing with Nick, but we finally decided to get her. We picked her up the day after Christmas and are quickly (and tiredly) adjusting to our new little family member. The potty training is going very well... and she is very content with kenneling up at night. I started taking her for walks the day we brought her home and she is already walking ahead of me. The best part is when we get back to our house she runs up to the house and it looks as though she is so happy to be at her house. I joke that it is like having a newborn with all the attention and care that goes into having a new puppy, but it is so much fun having a new addition to our family. She is fitting in perfectly... Little Miss Ruby.
