The Grand-dog – Our Gold Medal Cuddler

We don’t have any actual grandchildren running around yet (much to my consternation) but this is our grand-dog, Ruby.  Here she is cuddling with her stuffed rabbit.  She’s a one-year-old Yorkshire Terrier who weighs about 2.5 pounds. Apparently, this is as big as she’ll get. It’s incredible how small she is – like the primordial dwarfs of dogs or something.  She’s teeny weenie, but perfectly formed and full of personality; but she’s practically the size of her toys she plays with.  This rabbit was a gift to my little Yorkie, Bella, but while we were on vacation the “baby” decided she couldn’t live without it.  I’m glad she has it because according to our daughter she can’t seem to go to bed without it.  How sweet is that?
