It's funny how appropriate Ruby's name was. I picked it because I was really stumped for a name...and she was a red dog so... But later as her quiet, gentle, somewhat crotchety personality became evident, it ~really~ fit because "Ruby" is kind of a sweet, old fashioned name.

I covet Char's hair. :-) Mine at her age was a little lighter and redder but her color suits her so well. Of course, she wishes she were blond. Someday she'll appreciate it.
