Hi Ruby! Happy Dog of the Day! Oh, what a handsome (love that stylin' tie), healthy, *sparkly* pup you are, looking so festive all decked out in that beautiful gold garland! (Deck the hounds...!) And all that "beauty rest" sure is paying off, Ruby...you don't look half your age! What a heartwarming story your mommy has shared with us, Ruby! It's wonderful to hear of your miraculous recovery, how well you're doing after your very, very scary close brush with the unspeakable! What a brave boy you were, fighting so valiantly to stay alive. You truly are a fighter and a survivor, and your parents are heroes as well, taking up the challenge of your care, doing all that is necessary to make sure you stay healthy! As your wise mommy says, you pups, all of our animal companions, teach us to be better people...stronger, more patient, more compassionate, more loving humans...and the gift of your unconditional love is our priceless reward! You truly are one gem of a boy, Ruby, and your family so very lucky to have a beautiful best friend, a loving companion, in you! Thanks for the BIG smiles, sweetheart! Enjoy your much deserved day of honor, a very merry Christmas, and a happy and healthy 2014! Much love, hugs and kisses to you, precious Ruby!
