Git Yur Fix

I didn't blog my usual Ruby Tuesday this week. I am a bad blogger. My mom says I'm running out of ideas for every Tuesday's Ruby fix. I don't believe that was the reason that kept me from sharing my dog's neurotic lifestyle with others. There were just other circumstances which prevented(motivated) me from my blog in general, as in MIA for 4 days.

Ruby and I have been outside doing stuff lately. The weather has been gorgeous. I've been waiting for warmer days like these for a long time. It has been an extremely long winter. I want to be outside and take in those ultra violet rays. Even it means just sitting in the brown, dead grass watching my tulips grow in their flower beds and throwing Ruby's deflated, chewed up ball to her.

My little compadre follows me around outside. She looks for opportunities to chase a ball, taunt a cat, bark at the horses. You know, little stuff like that makes her the neurotic dog that she is. And behaviour that speaks volumes about her personality.

It is funny when you are around Ruby. She has such a cutesy look to her. A kind of foxy face. She looks so innocent.... quiet.... perfect.
Ha! Never judge a book by its cover. Once you watch her and she goes into her Corgi breed mode, her other personality bursts through. Such a cute, little doggy could never chase and bark(speak) her mind to 1500 pounds of beef right? Wrong.
Which reminds me of this video clip that has been ferociously floating around the web lately. My mom sent me this clip recently and it was wonderful!
Have you all seen this "cheeky" 47 year old Brit sing? Go see this.
Tell me. What was your very first reaction when you saw this woman? Hmm? Yeah, me too. It's amazing how we are so "programmed" to view people by their appearance and it is also very disheartening to say the least.
Have a great weekend!

Ruby is ever-so-adorable!!

Yes, I saw this clip the other day and even blogged about her. We are so programmed to judge by the "cover" and not what lies beneath. In her case, there is a wonderfully beautiful soul...

I wish her the best tomorrow on the second round and I hope she goes all the way through. I wish our AI contest were run the same way as the British version. Be sure to also look at the "Stavros Flatley" entry in Britain's contest. If you have ever been a fan of Irish dance, you'll love it.

Saw her clip a few days ago too... And what a wonderful sense of humour she has... just like that cute dog of yours!

Great to see Ruby back! I was at my friends' for dinner the other night and their Corgi was so funny. What a character! She was on the couch laying with the husband and her little tongue was just sticking out a teeny tiny bit, she was just holding it there that way. Does Ruby ever do that? Corgis are like big dog in little dog bodies, I like that! :) Happy weekend!

First impressions, not always true..she practically knocked Simon's socks off. I hope they don't make her over..I liked her just the way she was..what a voice! I also thought of Clay Aiken..he didn't look like much of anything..but once he sang..Wow! I guess I am always rootin for the underdog!
Thanks for the Ruby fix..love her pink tongue:)

I watched it and I think she was pretty sure, that she would knock EVERYBODY's socks off. But they were like "Yeah, right."
As I heard her the first time, I thought "Oh, my god, she is so good!"
And about the judging, it is in the nature of people to judge right away. And if you're saying that's not true, I don't believe you.
I hope she rocks the next round! :)
