Ruby got another bath!
This bath was VERY well tolerated by Ruby.
We've been making more progress with her emotionally now that we've been able to be around her more outside. She does LOVE to be outside. She doesn't play fetch or anything, but will toddle after Annie when she is fetching her toys.
In the house she has been rather aloof, but with the addition of some brush/touch therapy, she is really coming around. She's still shy and won't come up to people, but she will follow us around more (unless we're walking toward her).
Body language with dogs is totally different than with humans. Dogs see no threat from the back of a person, and normally turn their backs on one another (unless they're the alpha). So we're working on body language to be less alpha with her.
She didn't love her bath, but she did very well with it. After being groomed by a professional, I don't think we'll be doing that again with her any time soon. If you have a set of dog clippers that you would like to donate, our dogs here would greatly appreciate it! We do have Shirley and Ruby who need to be groomed and clipped to keep their coats under control.
Ginny LOVES Ruby. She will do some kitty loving with Ruby- which Ruby totally loves. Perhaps they can be adopted together since they're bonding.
Ivy is getting her spay surgery in a week and then will be officially ready for adoption! Who wouldn't love that sweet little black kitty?!? She is not a crazy kitten like Ginny who attacks anything that isn't moving.
My bathrobe is a testament to Ginny's playfulness. Every day I take my bathrobe into the bathroom with me, and while I shower, Ginny plays with the strings hanging down. She never tires of playing. She and Joanna are completely in love with one another too.
Today is a busy day for us here at the foster homestead! We're going on vacation soon, and would love to get our fosters placed before we leave so that they don't have to be separated (and Ruby put into a household where she is dwarfed by the great danes-lol).
Ruby is asymptomatic for all of her ailments, and would really love to move to her forever family!
