Had a great time at the Boston Scarier Howloween Party at Doggie Central! This year I was a spider.

Ruby’s 4th Gotcha Day!

Ruby — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 03:01:21 +0000

I've been with Anji and Matt and Kyle and Blue for FOUR YEARS today! To celebrate, we went to the park and I got a big spring donut cookie!

This year sure has had its ups and downs...
I made lots of new friends, including Lola and Brock, I lost a good friend, got new wheels, drove the RV, lost my uncle dog, had LOTS of pictures taken, went to Woofstock, dressed like a pirate, went on a few road trips, had a house guest, went to a princess party, had big bad lump, someone made a mosaic of me, and more!

I have such an amazing life. I really am the luckiest pooch on the planet. ♥

Ruby’s 3rd Gotcha Day!

Ruby — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 19:44:48 +0000

Yesterday was a very special day because it was the 3rd anniversary of me coming home. Three years ago yesterday - Anji, Matt, Blue and Kyle welcomed me into their home and family. My life is filled with so much love. ♥ I am the luckiest dog in the world! ♥

Bostoberfest 2009!

Ruby — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:34:45 +0000

The first annual Bostoberfest was so much fun!

Over 80 of my best Boston friends were there and Boston Terrier Rescue Canada raised over $1,200!!!

Half of that amount is about how much my humans spent on raffle tickets... but we did win twice. One of the prizes we won is a Hello Kitty collegiate style doggy jacket, and it fits me perfectly!

Here's me bobbing for weiners. I had to use my paw because the water was too deep!

Woofstock 2009

Ruby — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 02:39:26 +0000

Today I went to Woofstock. I like Woofstock because I get a lot of sample treats. Anji bought me a fancy limited edition Buddy Belt (pics to come). We raised $200 for K9 Rescue Me. And I got to see my best friends. A good day!

We're fostering a sweet little JRT named Sandra. Will update later with a link to her profile on PetFinder.

Ruby’s 2nd Gotcha Day!

Ruby — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 22:35:48 +0000

Today is a very special day because it's the anniversary of us adopting sweet Ruby, also known as a Gotcha Day. We welcomed Ruby home two years ago today. What I said a year ago still applies. I love my sweet girl so much and I look forward to many many more Gotcha Days to come. Extra treats tonight Ruby!

How NOT to Buy a Puppy

Ruby — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 23:48:13 +0000

A very informative Marketplace episode on what goes on behind the scenes at pet stores that sell dogs. Of course, I recommend checking Petfinder.com FIRST, since that's how I found my sweet Ruby. There are so many amazing pets available for adoption. Many of them are pure breeds that were given up by their previous owners for reasons not pertaining to the dog or its behaviour. I cannot believe anyone would have given up my sweet Ruby, she's the perfect dog! And it's sad to think that there is a chance that some of them will be put down if they can't find a home. So please, consider adopting instead of buying. Watch the entire episode online.

New favourite Etsy shop!

Ruby — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 21:09:37 +0000

Check out The Hydrant and create your own custom collars and leashes. All items are "hand made with love" and a portion of all purchases goes to the Boston Terrier Club of Canada Rescue. We like!

Ways to help pets this season

Ruby — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 18:34:07 +0000

Looking for a gift for someone who has everything? Or are you just feeling generous this holiday season? Here are a few ideas:

Shop at the Animal Rescue site where every purchase you make funds food and care for rescued animals. Or, visit the World Animal Net directory (the world's largest database of animal protection societies) to find an animal charity near you. Canadians check out CanadaHelps.org.

If you can, please give generously!
