Ever try to make a 6-month-old puppy stay still enough to take a picture?


She's six months old, part German Shepherd and, I think, part Dobermann Pinscher. The adoption site's post about her says she's part Rottweiler, but her build and face are much more Doberman-like, at least at this age. She's been trained - even crate-trained - quite a bit by her foster folks, and she's surprisingly calm. She does have the occasional burst of puppy energy, and she's very inquisitive.

She doesn't have Katie's raw charisma or velvety ears of seduction, but neither does she have the young Katie's ill manners and relentless energy. If Katie was the captain of the cheerleading squad, Ruby's the girl next door.

I'm not sure m'boy will approve of our getting a new dog without him, but she was too good to pass up.

I walked her around the block. I'd forgotten what it was like to walk a perky pup. Good exercise. I think I'll go pet her now.
