Poor Ruby

(Ruby playing in the snow with Stetson)

I have bad news. Our sweetest dog ever Ruby died. She went with Kenny to move cows one day (like she always loved to do) and on the way back she was in the back of the truck with Kenny’s dog Boots when they saw some cows. You have to understand Ruby, she loves to herd EVERYTHING, I swear she even thought she was herding people sometimes. Anyway, so needless to say when they came across these cows she got really excited and somehow slipped out of the back of the truck, and under the horse trailer. It was a very sad day. But poor Kenny had an even more awful day. He also found his baby horse dead in the corral. It wasn’t a good day for animals.
Ruby was a really good dog, and was awesome with all the kids. They all loved her. She was really lovey and playful and if someone fell on the ground or was sitting on the grass she was always there and would nussle her head into your arms. She loved to ride on the top of our truck, and on the 4-wheeler with us. One time she fell asleep on top of the truck and slid down the front window. On the 4-wheeler she would always put her head under our arms so she could see where we were headed. She was super fast! She would always race us wether we were in the car or on the 4-wheeler, and she would even win sometimes. She could hear if the engine was accelerating and then she would turn on her turbo and run sooo fast. She was becoming a really good cow dog. She knew what to do and if a cow started to leave the herd she would go and bite their legs and chase them back to the others. She listened really well, and did exactly what we told her to do. She could jump into the back of the truck with the tailgate up easily. When we would drive past trees or mud was flying off the tires she had this game where she would try to bite it. It was hilarious to watch. Obviously we really loved and are going to miss Ruby.
