Puppy Toys!

This summer we got a new puppy.

My beloved Kira died suddenly in June. 

My son, who is 9, is now ready for a puppy and to learn all the responsibilities associated.  He chose the pup, the name, and is responsible for her. 

We rescued her from PetPromise in Columbus, Oh.

6-8 weeks old

12-14 weeks old

Her name is Ruby.

He's getting really good at the taking care of the messes Ruby makes. 

Soon, when she's old enough, he'll take her to puppy classes.

We recently upgraded her tiny puppy collar to her permanent Lupine Collar. 

I love Lupine collars, not only do they come in awesome colors, but they are guaranteed for life. 

That's right, have a dog who likes to chew through leashes? (Cough, Cough, SPARKY).
They'll replace it for free.

My son chose our dog Sparky's collar, which I didn't care for, but he chose it, so there you go.
This summer however, Sparky met our neighborhood skunk. So out the collar went, and hello skunk bath!

A perfect time to replace his collar with a better Lupine collar. 

Sparky sports a blue and brown Muddy Paws collar.

And Ruby has the Purple Jelly Roll collar.

Now just wait until she's full grown for the matching harness!

Ruby certainly keeps us on our toes. At 14 weeks, she's getting into everything.

As her confidence and strength increases, so does the amount of "everything" that she gets into!
She's only 5 pounds but she jumps the last 2-3 stairs on our staircase.

Now something our other dog sparky absolutely adores is his Wobble Kong.




It keeps his mind busy and entertained while working for the treats and food inside.

I think it took him about 30 seconds to figure out how it works.

Even Ruby is jumping onto the wobble kong wagon, even though its as big as her!
