Ruby don't take yer love to town...

Say hello to the newest member of our little family, Ruby! We adopted her from the Seattle humane society over in Bellevue ( I don't get that ) and couldn't be happier. She is a super sweet smallish terrier mix about 3 years old. I loooooove her ears! She is all black except for a white patch on her chin and a white stripe down her chest. We don't live in a very big house so a smaller dog was important to us and she is perfect! 
Last night we went to the dog store and tried out some doggie beds and crates. It was funny to have Ruby try them out, she would just hop onto the beds and settle right down. She also adores the crate we got. I have never had a dog that was into crates before and it is almost magical to have Ruby prefer her crate to any other place in the house. I guess it's important for all of us to have a safe place. 
She is even pretty chill with our cat Stella. She has taken a few lunges but none too severe and surprisingly Stella is being relaxed about the whole situation. Not hiding or sulking or puking. We totally lucked out.
We love her and can't wait to have all sorts of good times together. I wonder if she can swing a hammer?
