It all started with Puppy

I looked at this picture of Ruby a lot today. I made it my desk top at work and at home. And, it's the wallpaper on my phone. I love her. It's that simple.

 It wasn't always her though, there have been others.
It started with Madame Felicia Ferocious...who we called Puppy.  That little eight week old black and white Old English Sheep dog Puppy was sleeping just inside the door when I got home from school one day. I loved her the second I saw her. She turned out to be a better friend to me than any kid in the neighborhood. Loyal. Loving. Trustworthy.

Puppy would have loved Ruby. And like me, Ruby would have loved Puppy.
