Miss Ruby is on a roll again 🧻 This week she has been in asshole mode, grabbing anything that she could; to get a reaction from me. There was the usual umpteenth shoe theft and removing the insole from the shoes, a toilet roll she grabbed from an open bag of them sitting in the laundry. Mummy forgot to close the laundry door, D’oh! She came bolting through to the family room ripping chunks out of the said loo roll and head’s straight under the table. She knows it’s hard for me to reach her under the table. Yeah, she was on a roll, the little asshole 🤣🤣🧻 I had chunks of paper to pick up all over the room after that. Then just as I sat down she was back again, going after the remote for the telly. So I give her a doggie chocolate drop so that I can get the remote back. All is good finally and I get to sit down and read. Then she is up in my face wanting goodies. I try to ignore her but I can’t, she is just so cute and those brown Malteser eyes melt my heart every single time. More chocolate drops which are actually carob and not human chocolate.
The unthinkable poo on the veranda, that is something that she doesn’t normally do, Yuk! Grabbing a sun hat and chomping on the straw, nom, nom, nom. Nick another shoe, getting up on the dinner table because a chair was not pushed in. Mind you she can pull a chair out and then jump up on the chair and then up on the table. Miss Ruby is so quick on the uptake, that little Jack Russell mind runs overtime. Miss Ruby is the proverbial naughty school kid always up to mischief. We love her so much and wouldn’t have her any other way to be honest. She knows she is cute too; the little minx.
During the week she scared the living daylights out of the postie; launching herself at the fly screen door, four off the floor; as the lady came to hand us a package. It’s hard work being a Jack Russell you know, keeping everyone on their toes, making sure we get enough exercise, and a cardio workout, she knows mummy and daddy are on a diet right now 🤣🤣 (yeah, I am in to fitness, fitting a whole pizza in my mouth 🤣🤣).
We would be lost without our Ruby she has a lovely playful personality and full of love. A tad spoiled of course as is every fur child’s right. Jack Russells don’t do slow down and age gracefully, they are little dynamo’s from birth to death. Fantastic companions for life and very affectionate, one just has to accept the little things they get up to as they entertain us and display that jeux de Vivre. Just don’t think that you can disturb their night sleep because they get shirty if you accidentally nudge them in your sleep.
Ruby sounds like a Rottweiler when woken rudely with a bark that makes your heart pound. She insists on sleeping in mummy and daddy’s bed since first night we got her. That proved to be a contentious issue with the four cats that were used to taking turns at sleeping on the bed. Miss Ruby put a quick stop to that. No night-time incursions' were permitted by the feline family members, miss bossy boots asserted herself on the first night. A cheeky 12 week old whipper snapper with attitude was not what we expected but here she is.
