As she's getting more comfortable with us, she's also getting braver and a little rowdier. Tonight, she was so good and calm in the backyard, I let her in the house while I was cleaning the kitchen. In a matter of 3 minutes, she had torn a leaf off a plant and shredded it, pulled a blanket of the couch and dragged it all around the house, and attacked her own tail. When she finally caught her tail, she started chomping and chewing on it like it was a squeaky toy. I tried to catch her to make her go outside, but she just kept running away from me. When I finally caught her and carried her outside and put her (not too gently) on the ground, she lay down and went to sleep. She's been sleeping for an hour now. Puppies!
Tom is taking a nap now. Naptime after school is a regular occurrence in our house- the puppy, the kids at school and the weather really wear us out - it's still 85 degrees every day when we come home! I think we're going to play Scrabble tonight. Tom is really good at Trivial Pursuit- I can't compete. But, I'm the reigning Scrabble champ in this house.

Hey guys,
I sometimes wish we had Carter when she was a puppy- maybe she wouldn't be so much right now! Oh well- she doesn't poop inside or chew our stuff anymore and is awesome with Kathryn and as long as it's just us she's usually calm! Ruby sounds very sweet and fun. Keep the cute puppy pics coming! Peter and Laura play Scrabble- it's a fun game - lately Tommy and I are all about Mancala and of course the old favs are Yahtzee and Blokus! Are you guys following the So- Cal wildfires, yikes. Anyway have a great night, Casey
I love the picture with Ruby grinning in her towel!
She looks to be the size of Sophie and Rayna already! Sure is nice to have docked tails on them, then it is very hilarious when they catch their tails.
Wow! Either Ruby is a giant for being 10 weeks or...Tom you shrunk! She looks great by the way. I can't wait for Ruby to meet Lincoln. They are going to be best buds! It was good talking to you last night. Tom, you shouldn't get in the habit of napping after work...it makes it harder to fall asleep at night :)
