An important update on Ruby, our cute little Chorkie

This is a short but interesting update, dealing with how Ruby is doing since Maggie passed. We've had animals pass away before and there's almost always a change in those that remain. When Cleo died last year, Blue (our only remaining cat) became much more outgoing than he'd been previously. When Maggie died a little over a week ago, Ruby didn't seem too impacted, at least in a negative way. She refused to eat at first because we had her trained that Maggie went first. It took some doing to undo that. That was really biggest thing we noticed at first. As time has passed, Ruby seems to be coming into her own. She's more relaxed and confident since she's been the only dog. When we come home, she quietly…

The first solid piece of good news this week

While I'm unsure of what to make in regards to Gavin labs, there is one piece of good news we know of for sure. Ruby's visit to the vet went very well. ☺ I didn't think it would go poorly but I wasn't sure how she was going to do while being poked and prodded by the vet. Little dogs can be assholes and not big fans of meeting new people. Ruby did awesome and never had to be muzzled. She's tipping the scales at a whopping 6.6 lbs. She's heartworm free and every other worm free as well. Her vaccines are up to date and we can begin planning for her surgery sometime in late March or early April.

Ruby goes into the vet today

We're about 110% sure that Ruby has worms. Rather than deal with it ourselves with OTC stuff from the pet store, we're just taking her in. She needs to be seen and get her shots for the year, as well as be checked out so she can get fixed next month. She just came out of being in heat and we have to wait at least 6 weeks before having her fixed. I'm really hoping she does well with the vet because tiny dogs can be difficult at times. Aside from the worms, she's doing fantastic. She's too cute for her own good but there are worse things in the world I suppose.. ☺
