I am very sorry that I did not post for a while. But Mom was so busy at her computer that I did not have a chance to hijack it.
A lot has happened since I last talked to you. Grandad went away to a place they call a hospital and Mom was sick in bed here at home. I took care of Mom and made sure she was not cold. I also helped her to finish her food. After Mom got better, Granddad came home, but he could not walk. Mom spend all her time looking after Granddad and when she went out to fetch food I looked after him to make sure he was okay.
Well, I am here now. I took Mom for a walk this morning. It looked like her eyes were going to leak again. Since Dad and Granddad left Mom’s, eyes keep leaking. I try to lick away the water. Sometimes Mom starts laughing and we go outside and play. Sometimes I climb on Mom’s lap and I give her lots of cuddles. I don’t like it when mom’s eyes leak like that….
Mom said that I must get back to training, she told one of the people on that thing she takes the photos with when we are walking, that I had a very long school holiday (whatever that means). Mom also told me that if I behave, we can go on more walks this week. I like spending time with Mom, and I protect her from all other humans I don’t know.
I took Mommy on a walk
Mommy and I had a good workout
I am so very tired….
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed our outing this morning.

I promised Willow yesterday that we would go for a walk this morning. I am not sure if Willow can understand me, but I think she remembered my promise to her.
At first I just wanted to walk around the neighborhood but then I decided against it. I got her leash and car keys. Normally she runs around and make a game of putting on her training collar and leash, not this morning she came and sat in front of me and her tail was sweeping the floor of excitement.
I drove to Sonstraaldam a place where I love to take photos. This morning it was just me, Willow and my cellphone. Willow first needs to get familiar with the places I like to take photos. This will mean that we will visit there a few times before I take my camera with. I am going to be honest it is hell not to have my camera there, and I see all these amazing shots I miss. But I think it is also important that Willow learn and get exposed to all the new scents and sounds.
The dam will be there tomorrow and I will get amazing shots then.
Willow sniffed and ran and pulled and sniffed the whole time. We went around the dam twice. The first time was so that she can sniff and smell everything. The second time was much more relaxed although she still sniffed a lot she did not pull as much.
I was very surprised that she did not run after the geese. She did want to chase the Guineafowl. But I pulled her back and told her not to. I will never get in a bird shot again if I teach her to chase the birds.
We also socialized with a French poodle and a big White Swiss Shephard. Willow enjoyed this and I wish we are at a stage where I can take of her leash too so that she can go play. We will get there I know and I know it will take some time.

Thank you for joining us on our walk around the dam. Willow says she is very tired now and is going to sleep the rest of the day.
For those of you who have been following my blog for a while now will remember that when we got Ruby two years back I wrote a blog and posted photo’s of her on a weekly basis.
Well Ruby is turning 2 in a weeks time and she still have a obsession with sticks. She loves it when I work in the garden and she helps her mommy by carrying away all the sticks and branches….
I took my first photo’s of Ruby when she was approx 8 weeks old. I have posted photo’s every week till she was 29 weeks old.
One of these days Ruby will be one year old and I can’t believe how time flies. She is a beautiful grown dog now and still loves chewing on old crocks and sticks. She also makes us mad with her ball. She just loves playing outside with her tennis ball. Her training is coming along great and she is very obedient. But like any child she also takes chances and when she was naughty you can see it straight away. I love Ruby to bits and cannot imagine my day without her by my side or next to my desk.
Here are a few photo’s I took of her this morning while playing fetch with her.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Please feel free to comment and like.
Oh my word people I was suppose to post on Tuesday already but it completely slipped my mind. I think I have to much going on at once….
Ruby is a my Guard dog where ever I go in the house she is only a few steps behind. I was busy getting all my props together and making sure my cards are clean and batteries charged for my Photo Shoot at Bekkies and Boudjies Daycare the following day. Ruby slipped into my studio and was lying very quietly waiting for me. I promised her we would go play ball as soon as I am finished. When I walked towards my studio door Ruby dashed passed me wagging tail and all… We played a bit and then I got back to editing…
This morning I took some portrait photo’s of Ruby with my Canon 50mm lens. Reason for this the camera is lighter and it is less strain on my right hand.
When my schedule is more open I’ll go for a operation to fix the problem.
I got this one by holding Ruby’s ball rust next to my lens.
The second one was more tricky to get. She kept jumping up and losing the grip on the ball. But we got one. So proud her.
I did not post a Ruby Tuesday post last week. Sorry for that. My right hand is suppose to rest and I’ll rather listen to the doctor this time. I need my hand to take lovely photo’s. I took this photo of Ruby on the Sunday. She went to play outside with Buddy our long legged Fox-terrier. The problem with her going outside to Buddy is the fishpond is like a magnet… Not even one minute passes and she went for a swim…
Last Friday I took Tekkies to the doggy parlor for a haircut. When we got home Ruby was very upset with this “new” dog. She stood a few passes back and started barking at this “new” dog. It went on for nearly a hour. I laughed so hard it was so funny. As soon as I entered the room Ruby would come and stand behind me and then she really started barking. When I took them all outside Ruby realized that it was Tekkies and only then did they started playing again.

My three daughters.
Just before I chased away the man with the trolley…..
I took Ruby outside this morning to go play with her ball. Everything were just dandy till Ruby spotted the man sitting on the pavement with his trolley. Now let me explain these people with there trolleys are up to no good and they throw out our garbage bins and just leave the garbage on the ground then move on to the next one. Some of them are also spotters for the criminal elements. So I am glad that Ruby charged him. I was not afraid that Ruby will bite the man I was afraid that Ruby run after him and a car hit her. I called her back while running after her with my camera still around my neck….
Ruby is really very intelligent and she is learning very fast. She is going to be a very good guard dog and we will train her to attack on command. This of course only for our own safety and hers.
Today I did not really have time to take allot of photo’s of Ruby. I am very busy with my studio and still have allot to do before it is finished. When I started on Sunday she was very restless and yesterday was worst. In the beginning she sit and moaned at the studio door and today I decided to put a piece of hardboard in front of the door to keep her out but she can still see me. It went better. Tonight I remembered it’s Tuesday so I grabbed my camera and took two photo’s of Ruby waiting for me in the passage. I think she will be very happy when my studio is finished.
Ruby is really growing up very fast. She is also much more protective over us. When a stranger comes closer her neck hair stands up and the her tail curls upwards. She also barks at everyone and at other dogs. I know this is also just a phase she is going through. She ‘s very alert and if she hears strange noises she goes and investigate.
She is still in love with her ball. When she gets outside she goes and sit in front of the wooden box where we keep her balls and her comb. She is not yet very keen on the brushing side of things but she will play ball all day I think. What we do now is while playing ball we brush her. She is loosing allot of fur now and this means more cleaning work for me, but I don’t mind I love her to bits.
Yesterday while playing ball and taking my photo’s of Ruby for this blog post something very weird and very funny happened. Normally Ruby brings her ball straight to me so that I can throw it again. Yesterday morning she ran past me and when I looked back I just had to take photo nr 2. Sorry Ruby for intruding on your privacy….
We had lovely weather on Monday and yesterday so everybody enjoyed the spring sun and got our dose of Vitamin D for the day. My mom also came out and I went and fetch her a chair so that she can sit down when she wants to. My mom have not even touched the seat and Tekkies jumps up to sit on her lap….
Three weeks back this tree in our neighbors garden had no leaves only branches just look at it now….
Even Tammy decided that it’s better outside than indoors under her blanket….
Okay mom I can we play ball again. Stop talking to Granny and play with me please….. Even when her tongue is dragging on the floor of exhaustion she still wants to play. At this point I put away her ball so that she can play with her four legged sisters…
Yesterday was National Heritage day here in South Africa and it is also been known for the past few years as National Braai day. We went out for the day and Ruby had to stay outside and play with the other 4 legged brothers and sisters.
Last night I took these photo’s of her. She was either very upset with us for letting her stay outside the whole day or she was dead tired of all the playing…..
Hi there I am back after a lovely week in the Northern Cape. I visited a few nature reserves and took lots of photos. Unfortunately I missed week 24/25 due to my travels…
Here are some photo’s I took of Ruby while we were playing catch this afternoon. She loves playing with her ball.
Hi there, I know I am a day late but I was very busy yesterday and did not have time to post. I did take some photo’s of her yesterday morning before I began working.
I think Ruby has stop growing for now. She is busy getting new teeth and eat allot but she is standing still. Well so it seems.
Ruby has enough energy for 4 dogs and she is really giving me allot of exercise. She has this new habit she comes and sit by me and then she starts moaning. Normally when she moans she wants to go outside to use her bathroom… Nowadays she moans and as soon as she gets outside she runs straight to the wooden box were we keep her ball. She wants to play fetch the whole time…
The boys are studying for their exams so on their break they would go play fetch with Ruby. This works for me because now the boys also get some fresh air and some exercise.
Here are some of the photo’s of Ruby and I also throw in some of Tammy and Tekkies.

I will not be posting next week Tuesday. I will if I have time post photo’s of Ruby on Sunday. I am going away on holiday from 9 September to 16 September 🙂
Today it’s to cold outside and I don’t want to be in the wind to long. Just got over the flu and are looking forward to my holiday in two weeks time. Today I took photo’s of Ruby on her “playpen” (our bed). As you can see the covers I put over keeps getting darker…
The coat hanger she’s busy chewing she got the first day that she came to us. It was lying in the sun-room and I wanted to throw it away but when she started playing with it I let it be. She is still playing with it but now it is in two pieces inside the cover. The Crocks I gave her also the day when she came to us this was to prevent her from chewing our shoe’s. It is working very good so far only one incident when she took my husbands shoe to her bed but she did not chew on it, she chewed her Crock…
Ruby is still barking at everything and the latest is chasing the poor birds when they come to feed….
Ruby decided that her Ball on the Rope had to be demolished. This morning she was very destructive breaking everything she could get her paws on….
I had a wedding on Saturday and due to wet socks and shoes I’ve got the flue. For once Ruby did not jump on me instead she’s licks me. I have an infection in my right eye and when I am lying down I must just close my eye because she constantly wants to lick it. I went to lie down this afternoon something totally new for Ruby she just could not understand in the end she cuddled up and lay next to me.
Because I am not feeling well and I have so much editing to do before Saturday’s Matric Farewell,I did not take allot of photo’s
Here in Cape Town it’s raining cats and dogs. Ruby loves the water pools and keep asking me to go outside. This morning she dropped her stick in a pool of water and she wanted to get it out of the water. In the end everybody was wet, myself , Tammy our miniature Dutch hound and Tekkies our miniature Sheep dog. Ruby got her stick and headed for her bed…
Over the weekend Ruby got a bit confused with the public holiday and hubby laying in later for 3 days in a row. She is used to her cuddle time every morning when hubby leaves for work. So Sunday morning she tricked him to go to the kitchen and feed her she turned around and came jumping on the bed got into her cuddle position and did not budge when hubby came back…. I love our cuddle times also she lies with her head on my arm and her paw in my hand….
Yesterday Ruby went to the Vet for her injections and to get chipped. Everything is 100% and she growing up so fast.
It’s been raining today so I did not take some photo’s of Ruby outside. Instead I took photo’s of her in her favorite new sleeping spot. We have a round cane chair and it is very comfortable and Ruby seems to think so also.
Tekkies our Miniature Sheepdog (That’s what the Vet said) Is a great mother to Ruby. She washes Ruby’s eyes and ears and when Ruby goes outside she goes with. Tekkies plays with Ruby and when Ruby gets out of hand like children do she growls and Ruby listens.
I hope we are getting some nice weather soon so that I can take Ruby for a walk. She has to much energy….
I cannot believe how time flies by. Ruby is growing up fast now and started taking things from the counter tops and tables. Now to get her to stop it.
For a few weeks she has been very naughty leaving us surprises in the house, we gave her a “hiding” with a rolled up newspaper. This seemed to work because she is coming to me again and asking me to go outside. Shame it I take to long she’ll stand up against me and moan then she’ll start running towards the garage door.
Sometimes she also asks me to go out but then she just runs around in circles. The next few days the weather is going to play along so we can go for walks in the mornings.
Here are some photo’s I took today on one of our visit’s outside…
Ruby is really growing up fast and she is also very busy. We need to walk with her more often but the weather is not always playing along.
This morning it was raining again so I took some photo’s of her in her bed that’s getting to small and of course on our bed.
It’s a struggle everyday to make our bed and I have to throw an extra comforter over to ensure our bedding stays clean. When I am trying to make the bed she starts bringing all her “toys” a coke bottle, a piece of wood, an old shoe and her ball. I then start throwing everything on the ground I have hardly started and she’s back on the bed. This morning I ignored her and she picked up her ball threw it on the ground jumped off the bed picked it up and jumped back on the bed then she barked at me.
The day I first came to live at my new family my new mommy gave me this old crock of her’s. It’s my favorite chew toy…
My Granny and Granddad bought me this ball with rope. Love playing with it…
Mommy keeps telling me my bed is getting to small for me and all my toys. So I’ll throw them out and squeeze myself in the bed
Ruby is really growing up fast now. She knows when she did wrong because she disappears when you call her. Normally we’ll find her under the bed.
She barks allot these days and sometimes the hair on her neck stands up. When she see herself in the mirror she would stand and bark at herself till I pat her and then she’ll calm down.
It’s winter here in Cape Town and there is always wood and logs lying around the fire place. Ruby loves this chew toys. As soon as you take it away from her she’ll get up and go get another one. I permanently have wood on our bed.
Today I realized that Ruby loves the camera. She poses so nicely for her human Mommy… Love her to bits….
Ruby is really growing up very fast. She is also much more protective over us. When a stranger comes closer her neck hair stands up and the her tail curls upwards.
