6 Crazy-Cool Things About Ruby the Dog

We have a golden retriever named Ruby. She’s a food addict, fraidy-cat, and general nut-job. She steals only my left shoes and hides them. Her favorite kind of weather is a thunderstorm. She’s dug up half the lawn and crapped over all the rest. We adore her.
Here are 6 crazy-cool things about our wonderful bundle of insanity:

Crazy-Cool Thing #1: For a dog, Ruby’s a big pussy.

Our golden is afraid of everything. Garbage bags. Ants. Other dogs. The six-year-old girl next door, but only when she’s playing the piano. Statues of Jesus. She was also pretty scared when we first brought her home, but that was understandable (see uber-cute pic below).

Crazy-Cool Thing #2: She sleeps like she’s Super Dog. 

Come on, how awesome is that? Quite awesome, indeed. And a little freaky too, as we never DO see Ruby and Super Dog in the same place at the same time…

Crazy-Cool Thing #3: She puts up with us.

In this picture, my husband is saying something to the effect of ‘Hey Ruby, look at the duck! Hey Ruby, look at the duck! Hey Ruby, look at the duck!’

You get the idea.

Ruby is amazingly patient and has an awesome deadpan stare, as evidenced by the image below.

Crazy-Cool Thing #4: She has a hoarding problem. 

All the popular kids have a dog with a complex mental issue. Ours has a hoarding problem (see pic below). She also has an attention-seeking problem (same pic). For the record: our dog gets more treats and love than a high-maintenance Queen Bee cutting the cake at her sweet sixteen, but she still manages to look like we barely let her out of the basement. Way to work it, Ruby!

Crazy-Cool Thing #5: She’s very snuggly.

She’s also quite egalitarian in her cuddling. Everyone gets a turn, every day, whether they want one or not. She also judiciously rotates sleeping spots so my son Max gets as much nocturnal love as his parents. You can say it with me now: awwwww!

Crazy-Cool Thing #6: She’s super happy.

If she’s not freaking out about random stuff, this is pretty much our dog. Woot woot!

Yeah, she’s awesome. If you don’t have a golden already, get one, pronto. They are the only perfect creatures in the universe. And no, I am not biased
