Name: I’m Ruby. My siblings and I were known as The Gemstones, and I’m the most precious gem of them all.
Hometown: I spent most of my life in California, but I retired to Arizona almost four years ago.
Age: I’m fourteen and still livin’ my best life.
Who took your photo: My Auntie Jill took my cover photo. She thinks I’m really photogenic.
Favorite brand of kibble: I’ll eat anything that’s put in front of me. I’m not picky.
Favorite people food: Anything and everything. If I had my way, I’d have gourmet people food every night.
Favorite toy: I’m not a big toy fan unless there’s a treat buried inside.
Favorite outdoor activity: I was born to investigate. I could spend hours in the backyard looking for lizards and other critters. There always seems to be new and interesting sniffs.
Favorite indoor activity: My favorite thing to do indoors is lay on the couch with my mom and watch Project Runway on TV. We’re both interested in fashion, and I love wearing cute clothes.
Favorite nap spot: I have many choices because my Mom spoils me with comfy dog beds in different locations. But my favorite spot is on the guest room bed under the sunny window. It’s totally relaxing.
Fitness regimen: I love walks around the neighborhood, in the campground, or a leisurely stroll around the property.
Describe your perfect canine pal: My cousin Isabel is my best pal. We’re the same age, and we love to hang out on the couch together. She lives in California, and I always look forward to her visits.
Describe your perfect day: I like to sleep in with my mom then have breakfast. Sometimes we go for a hike, and if I get tired, I can ride in my backpack. I’m very curious, and I love investigating the backyard perimeter, plotting my escape to the outside world. What can I say, I’m a free spirit.
