it soon became apparent that she wasn't a lab cross and was going to weigh considerably more than 35 pounds. she was a totally wild street urchin when we took her home. at first i thought she was part harmonium the way she attached herself to the nearest human and had to be pried loose. when i took her outside to pee she was more interested in eating bugs. i guess bugs were part of her diet living on the streets.
that was then, this is now. the old girl is definitely slowing down.
on a different note; leslie get the hammer.....
me and ruby love you sons of bitches.

You're a lucky family to have each other.
I hope you never stopped her from eating those bugs, they're a great high-protein snack. For humans too in some parts of the world.
Looks like a pit bull...just sayin
Our consumer affairs bureaucracy assures us that there are statistically relevant numbers of insect parts in most of our processed foods. Personally that is my preferred way to eat insects.
I love that puppy face! As for the Harmonium thing... I think it must be a Pit thing. I recall you saying that Ruby rescued you, not the other way around. I'm betting that you and the little street urchin rescued each other.
I see in Ruby's face, wisdom, loyalty and grace. Happy relocation day Ruby!
BTW Charlie Brown is doing a bang up job with those tomatoes.
As for Leslie getting squished... well...
happy birthday Ruby girl..give your master a big ole lick and eat one of his tomatoes.
Great dog.
thims - thanks, how high's the water papa?
gb - i couldn't stop her if i tried. she's a little bull headed.
jayne - staffordshire terrier.
robert - the insects probably have more food value than corn syrup.
sillly - the tomatoes are going gangbusters right now. i think leslie is the squisher and billy is the squishee.
yellowdog - ruby told be to give you a big ole lick. one of these days....
leslie - 3 bonus points!
leslie grab the hammer there's a fly on billy's head.
It's deep and wide... where is the land?
Aw, look at Ruby as a pup! She seems like a sweetie, even if a slower-moving one these days.
I had a great time out in the boondocks, a part came late so I didn't get the tractor back together but that's okay, next time I go out Terry and I are going camping.
With age wisdom comes to some, Ruby appears to be getting to where she can just kick back and relax and let shit slide by her. Of course she doesn't read the news.
The tomato's out there aren't doing worth a shit but you should see the cabbage and cauliflower. I chase the deer away with my pellet gun, except for one evening I pushed the bucks ass for 200 feet with my truck. :-)
thims - 6 feet high and rising!
look for seagulls. when you spot the birds, the land is near.
secret - ruby thanks you from the bottom of her heart.
billy - a while back nothing got by her now she often won't get off the couch when the mailman comes. when i look at the gray on her face i see myself.

So you're getting older, you didn't think you would be getting any younger did you?
If you want to be younger you have to die and be renewed. Don't sweat it, there's something to be said about the golden years, like not giving a fuck about a lot of things.
i guess jesus doesn't love me after all. he's busy making movie stars look younger, i guess they can bring in more money for him.
Even movie stars die, I don't give a shit how much money they shove at trying to live longer.
I may make it to 80 and I'm not even trying, that's better than many movie stars make it. And at the rate I'm going I'll die with a hard on.
It's sure interested in a new chick out in the boondocks.
Fuck jesus....
Thimscool likes me because he has actually met me and shared a campfire with me, something he is never likely to do with the mountain beaver.
We also shot a few pool games, as I recall, it was a draw, meaning, we both sucked at it. But hey, we had a fun time.
Billy, have you talked to Jesus about your jealousy?
BBC, when will your loins learn?
Huh? My loins aren't interested in the mountain beaver. But they are interested in a country chick I met a few days ago. Sadly, she is married, sigh.
That's what I mean.
Hey, lust is okay, as long as you don't always act on it.
Sex by proxy is pretty damn good, and doesn't complicate things. :-)
Jesus is not available for consultation, he's busy with the whores in Las Vegas.
Sex by proxy? Do you mean teledildonics?
I don't know what in the hell teledildonics means. But I know what whacking off is.
Billy, are you disturbed that most of your comment threads are devolving into discussions of masturbation?
BBC, I'm afraid we may be scaring off Billy's audience.
Jesus doesn't have to whack off, he can afford whores.
I think that Billy is too amused to be disturbed by anything here.
thims - i've waiting for years for teledildonics to take the next step and develop a commercially viable orgasmatron. if woody allen can have an orgasmatron why can't the 2 billys.
scare off my audience? shit i'm counting on you guys to take me to the next level!
billy - you might be right about jesus, he probably doesn't give a shit about me but that's his loss, i could become a good earner for his crew if he played his cards right.
woody allen has lots of money, any man with lots of money can get laid.
BBC, you can get laid too... money isn't the issue.
It's obviously a matter of integrity.
Bwahahahahahahah!
You do have a point even though you poke fun at it, I am very picky.
Billy, I'll give you 10 to 1 odds that the Republican Party will not propose or support a constitutional amendment banning the orgasmatron, even if it was a threat to marriage.
They wouldn't do any thing like that, it would ruin their sex lives.
And jesus would kick their asses for trying to keep him from screwing chicks.
I talked to a couple from Texas out in the boondocks, they think Perry is a fucking idiot, she showed me some neat things about him on her cell phone.
Like pictures of church boards telling him that god didn't tell him to do a fucking thing.
They apologized for giving us Bush, and said they hope to hell that we don't get Perry.
Do you think that maybe the electoral college favors the repukes?
I don't recall the history of the birth of the electoral college scam but one party or the other saw it as a way for them to gain an advantage.
do the republicans and the tea party gang allow atheists to join up?
Good ole Ruby, I bet you're glad she's not a lab, now anyway.
Bob has gotten huge, about 100 lbs I bet. He is still easily distracted when I take him on a walk, he bites at anything grasshopper, wasp it's all the same to him.
Sure, they'll take your money, Billy. But they won't let you speak at the convention.
I'm a member of the Ice Cream Party.
Maybe we should be members of the I Scream Party, cuz all we can do is scream about shit.
tex - ruby's about 90 pounds. she won't let sonny pick her up to weigh her. she'll let me pick her up but i don't want pull any muscles so we just go with her last weight.
thims - kinda like sitting at the back of the bus, eh?
billy - the ice cream party sounds pretty good to me. are you the leader?
No point in me trying to be the leader, few would follow me. But I sure like ice cream.
Go figure.
Soft. Melts.
No chewing required.
I'm scared to read your comments section before posting my own.
Let me just applaud the harmonium reference...one of the Vonnegutisms that stuck with me forever from just one read. I used to diagnose people in my office with it. Fondly.
Cheers to Ruby.
Ignorant mountain beaver bitch…
How can you say that about Nance? She seems very sweet.
I didn't say that about Nance, and you know it.
leslie - it seems you woke him up.
nance - my good buddy unk would still be stuck in a cave if it the harmoniums didn't step up to the plate.
thims - you're being a master baiter again.
billy - sorry, but i had to remove one of your comments. it didn't meet my high standards.
Delete those, it will give you something to do, hahaha
What is the problem with the truth here?
I love the "we all know" stuff. You don't know me, and neither does anyone else here. Can you take a stab at creativity instead of falling back on your constant stream of female stereotypes?
I have no need to know you, we've done this dance for two or three years and it's my opinion that you are a first class bitch.
She'll die before she gets screwed again, I'll be happy with just whacking off, while thinking about others than her.
I'm sorry. I could've sworn you just wrote "We all know..."
Are you familiar with this campground? It's in your area.
You stupid bitch, I'm not that old, and it's a shame you got comment 69.
Sorry dear, your "Early Onset" window closed at age 65. You ARE that old!
You ARE that old!
It's no secret that I'm 68, that doesn't make my dick any less stiff with the right woman.
Stupid bitch...
Your complete lack of reading comprehension packaged with your laughably defiant stance, foul mouth, and alleged virility is one smokin' hot combo!
Hard to believe the ladies aren't lined up at your door.
There's plenty of women that have lined up at my door, I turned them down.
Ignorant mountain beaver bitch…
Sure ya did, hon!
Night, night. Early flight. Since I won't be around tomorrow to stimulate you, maybe you should head on over to accuweather.com and punch in zip code 70117. There's some major Flooded Monkey Doom Porn waiting for you, and thanks in advance for your continued support.
Maybe you'll get lucky this time!
xox
Ophelia
I'm not trying to get lucky, you stupid bitch, I know how to whack off.
Even most of the married men on this rock know how to whack off being as the women on this rock are so hard to get into bed anymore.
I don't care where you go, as long as you go away.
Early to bed, early to rise, that's me. ZZzzzz
billy - i deleted those all foul comments.
have you ever considered acting your age rather than your shoe size?
What ever,,,,
But you do seem to be on her side.
Not that it matters to me, it's just a journey.
It seems that she can take it but you can't.
Uhhh....
billy - i'm an adult, i don't pick sides.
people who can take it don't use comment moderation or turn off the comments.
fuck, i've lowered myself to your level. time to sleep.
Leslie doesn't have any rules, she's just pure bitch and that's why I turned my comments off, sorry you don't get that.
Ruby's adorable. I love those wild street urchins. I have one of my own. Although she's from the Homo sapiens variety, and a wee bit older (not in dog years). ;)
Enjoy the moment!
BBC, here's the problem: this post is about Ruby.
Now it is not unusual for the conversation to turn to other topics like, say, masturbation... but every thread on this blog has become an expletive laden brawl between you and Leslie.
Those of us that care for you are worried that this feud is taking up too much of your mindshare.
Those who don’t care for you are worried that it is taking too much of their mindshare.
I've cursed not once AND I commented about Ruby. Tis the geezer who has the problem.
jayne - ruby thanks you for your support. my dad has used the word urchin for as long as i can remember so i have a wee bit of an attachment to it.
thims - thank you. i'd like to think billy had an extra beer last night.
leslie - you'll get no argument from me.
"Those who don’t care for you are worried that it is taking too much of their mindshare."
Here, here. I hate to say it but after subscribing to follow up comments on this post, my email was flooded with unrelated comments to mine and this particular topic. I promptly unsubscribed and can only say: holy smokes! =D
