I love the heat. I love to garden or sit out back and read, even in the heat of the day. Ruby’s all about the air conditioning but she likes to be where I am, so she comes outside too. She tries to find shade and it’s so funny how she thinks she’s shaded as long as her face is. She always finds a good spot:
Ruby’s predecessor, Nicki, did the same thing but she liked her whole body shaded:
When Nicki was younger she used to crawl under the car on the driveway for her shade: 
It would amaze me how she’d lay out there all day. SHE was “the best dog ever”. At least that’s how I choose to remember her!
Ruby has big shoes to fill.
I’m hopeful!
