Mike surprised me with a new dog today, he went up to the shelter and brought her home right before I headed off to work. Her name is Ruby and she is 8 years old. She came from a neglectful situation, she has a severe skin problem that the past owners let get way out of control. The shelter spent the last two months giving her medication and treating her. She is also underweight. We are going to have to change her name since it is the same as Ruby's, I think we have decided on Shelby. Ruby really likes to call her "bea", so we are going to let her call her that. She is very possessive of her food around Henry, we think the past owners had more than one dog and they gave them very little to eat so she fights for her food. Mike has them separated by a fence right now, so they can gradually get used to one another. We are hoping that she will make a nice, calm, sweet tempered dog for us and a great companion for Henry. She already has fur growing back on her in the spots that are bald, but is still underweight. We hope that with time she will get healthier and happier with us as her family :)
