P250UA5New Pup Day
Posted back in June about having to put our pup Luke down after 9 years together. Didn't think I was ready for another, but my wife had been casually seeing posts from the local shelter about various pets.
She sent me down to look at a pup she liked & a couple days later she came home with me. Turns out she may be more my dog than the wife's
Meet Ruby, our new Border/Lab mix. We picked her up on Wednesday & look forward to many years with her.
In the car on the drive home
Really well mannered & not near as hyperactive as I expected for a Border.
She's taken almost no time in acclimating to a new home & is learning the ropes pretty quickly.

PHPaulCongratulations!
Hopefully (as she gets older) the laid-back Lab will temper the natural hyperactivity of the border collie.
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

rusbroCongrats, and thank you for adopting a rescue dog.
Sure looks like gratitude and love in Ruby's eyes in that first photo.
