We've all heard of 'empty nest' syndrome. I seem to suffer from 'empty crate' syndrome. Ruby
came to fill that empty crate after Paulette died. Ruby has turned out to be more than I had any
reasonable hope that she would be. She has over a dozen Best in Fields spread pretty evenly
between AKC and ASFA, finished her Field Champion titles easily. She now has all her
placements towards her ASFA LCM, it's just hard to find competition to get the points and she
has 38 of the 45 points needed for her LCX-2. She's easy to live with (she thinks she's a
Whippet) and easy on the eyes. She will be seen selectively in the conformation ring in 2008.

Ruby graduated from her beginner obedience class on July 2, 2007 and we started the Canine
Good Citizen and a Rally obedience class in August. However, just three weeks into the classes
she came in season. In spite of the limited training, I showed her in Rally Novice B at the GCA
National on September 26, 2007 earning her first RN leg and getting second place in the class.
She passed the Canine Good Citizen test at the Greyhound Reach the Beach event in October.
We got her second and third RN legs in November 2007 to finish her RN title. She completed a
pre-novice obedience class in December and will now take a break in training until Spring 2008.
