Ruby had her first visit to the vet today. It went surprisingly well! She sat on my lap on the way and was so calm in the office. She really liked the vet, she tried to go with him when he left the room:) I was like : "Ruby, stay with mommy:)" We walked over to land of paws to see her old home and she was so excited. She was smelling everything and trying to play with all the puppies! Ruby loves other dogs which is really nice. I was hoping she would not be afraid.

She has really opened up this past week. She loves to play with the tennis ball, she jumps around to get it and it is so cute! Evan and I laugh so hard. She also loves Mr. Lion. He is her lion stuffed animal. She loves to chew on his head, true love!

She had her first bath last night! It went ok, she was scared but was so good with it. Yesterday was the first day Evan and I both worked and Ruby was in her crate for most the day. She thought that was stupid and pooped everywhere. So, it was bath time! Her hair is so thick and fluffy we have to blow dry her:)

She is laying on the rug passed out after her big morning. I think we might try to take a walk later...she is still not sure about this leash thing:)

Miss Ruby Wright

We first met Ruby this past Saturday. Evan and I went to Dunkin Donuts for our morning coffee and for our favorite Butternut donuts:) After breakfast I asked Evan if we could go to the puppy store. I love going to Land of Paws and the past few years I have gone pretty frequently to look for Wheaten Terriers. None had captured my heart before. We walked in and they magically had three wheatens! The usually don't have any! I was particularly intrigued by one of them. There were two brand new puppies and one that was 12 weeks. We got her out to hold and I immediately fell in love. We stayed for a long time, holding her and talking and asking questions and talking, asking more questions....

That night we went home and I could not stop thinking about her. I couldn't sleep I was so excited. The next day we decided to go back and see her! Evan tells me that he knew it was a lost cause when we went back to visit. She would be ours!

We didn't bring Ruby home right away. We wanted to wait until I was done with my three long shifts for the week and we could be home with her all day. I went to visit her before work on Monday :)

When we first brought her home she was so nervous. Jessica at Land of Paws bathed Ruby and blow dried her hair. She was not a big fan I guess:) They put a cute bandanna on her!

This is us smitten on Sunday:)


My fluffy baby!

We brought her home last night and so far it has gone pretty well. Ruby is pretty slow to warm up, right now she is sleeping on our rug between our couch and the coffee table. She likes to be wedged between them, I think she feels safer. She slept all night but left me a sweet surprise in her kennel this morning. She did not want to come out of her kennel:) I feel like it is usually the opposite...she wanted to go in and did not want to come out. Hopefully after a few days she will warm up and trust us.

We took her outside for the first time today. She was not sure what to think. It was raining and she just wanted to explore the whole backyard. We did not accomplish the peeing thing outside...maybe another time:)

We will keep you all posted on our new baby! She is so sweet and beautiful.
