Just wanted to stop by to introduce my new friend, Ruby, who I adopted yesterday from The Dogs’ Trust. She is a young Staffy, about 18 months, and she lost her right rear leg on 23rd November to complications following a fracture.
Ruby, Staffy, born June 2022, became a Tripawd, 23 November 2023, adopted 12 January 2024.
Also Angel Tripawd Meg (aka The Megastar), who died in April 2023, aged 14, after seven glorious years on three, and Angel Staffies Pie and Bille. In the pawprints of giants...
WELCOME HOME SWEET RUBY!! 🥰💖 You are in the very best home a dog could ever want, PLUS! you are eight at home jere with your extended tripawd family! We are now honored members Ruby's Fan Club👏
Cannot wait to follow your adventures (and not just on facebooger....hint to your Mum😉) All the adventures must have photographs and/or video. Ya'll see, the high bar has already been set by Elsie Pie and Meg (and Billie too). Meg and Pie shared so many delightful stories with us and they always brightened our day and made us laugh.
You've given us a good start with the photos your mom posted on instagram. I love the little black sheep posted with the picture of Billie, Pie, Meg and then the "coming soon"and that B U Miss Ruby💖
We are not only over the moon hapoy for you, but we are equally happy for your Mum. Our hearts broke with hers when Pie and Meg headed to The Rainbow Bridge. Ya' see, someone as loving and caring as your Mum (Yes, you have your own furever Mum now!!) could never live her life fully without a dog to show what love feels like.💖 And she needed to feel the love right back.
Oh my goodness, from the looks of things you have already fallen head over pawa in love. That goes both ways. Include us in that Circle of Love too, okay?
I've already told Frankie and Metry Myrtle all about you. They are also looking forward to following your adventures and watching you evolve into the dog you were born to be. From the looks of things, that "evolution " is already on the fast track😎
Cannot contain how excited I am for Ruby and Clarw!!! No, we won't have a bloomer contest,....that belonged to Meg. The "statue pose" in the green sweater belongs to Elsie Pie. I'm sure something just as fun will come along that belongs just tomyou Miss Ruby😎
With so. mich joy and love in my heart💖
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
P.S. Now we need a photo of you and Ruby with "the pose"😎 It's tradition! I thought I had a similar one with you and Billie but couldn't find it. After all, they picked Riby our for you😎

Until Clare/ admin gets the blog sorted I have some pics of sweet ruby. Her eyes remind me of Miss Pies
Sally I said the same Ruby reminds me a little of all three girls. The girls mission accomplished!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💫💫💫
Do note the heart on her head love her already!!!
Sally if Clare makes a new username would you be able to approve that now?
I know you can do post but new users too? im hopeful you can and will see what clare decides she wants to do or what admin can do for her and Ruby.💝💝💝
So Clare, can you tell how excited we are? We've taken over your "introduction post"! 😉 Nope, not waiting for the world to see this sweet Ruby! Good job Holly👍
No Holly I wouldn't dare try to do anything blog wise. I can only do new member forum posts and that's enough for this techie guru🤣.
Yeah, Admin and Clare can work that out😎

So typically kind of you, both. Thank you! I must say it’s not just Ruby who’s come home xxx

do you want me to post the other image I have with you in it clare? Happily do so didn't dare without permission;)
yes you have been MISSED!!!!!💝💝💝
Ok Sally👍🏻😘
I’d love you to, Holly. Thank you. And actually I could email you the Billie pic I think Sally is referring to. Very glam and not at all like me but very much like her…

Awwww! Wow I'm offline for a half day and can't believe all I've missed! SO EXCITED for you and Ruby!!!! CONGRATS!
She DOES remind me of Meg and Pie. What a sweetie, and one very, very lucky girl. She has won the doggie lotto!!!
Clare, Admin just got back from his run today, he'll be on the blog situation in just a bit. Meanwhile you may want to fix your signature line so it doesn't have that scrolling bar. It does that when there's a hidden character in the text, maybe from copying/pasting the wording from another app. Let me know if you'd like help with that.
Finally! Welcome Ruby.
I am ridiculously superstitious about these things....I've been following along on FB but until it's 'for sure' I just can't post congratulations 
I'm happy for Ruby but over the moon ecstatic for you Clare! So obvious that Pie and The MegAstar collaborated to bring you and Ruby together. She has already looked so happy and comfortable with you.
