Ruby's 'Ruff' Trot!


I have a story to tell you about my beautiful red Huskie Ruby (she is on the left, and that's Nooka on the right).

Ruby was my dog, she loved me and only me and always misbehaved for Mark... unlike Nooka, who is the exact opposite. She loves Mark and can be a little naughty for me.
Unfortunately, last year Ruby passed away.
Devastated, Mark and I decided to have cremated so we could keep her forever. We now have her ashes in a wooden box
Ruby lived on our tiered coffee table for awhile - when one day Mark got in while I was out and did the vacuuming. As he vacuumed, Mark hit the coffee table which accidentally collapsed! Everything fell in smashing to the ground... when all of a sudden to Mark's horror - there was a sandy gritty matter scattered EVERYWHERE... Horrified, Mark got the dustpan and ever so carefully started scooping up the remains - wondering how he was going to tell me what had happened... Poor Ruby...
.... No not really :-) I had a candle in a vase next to her, that had some sand and grit in the bottom of it. Ruby was still safe, sound and concealed in her box.
Needless to say though - she now lives on top of Mark's book shelf - out of harms, and the vacuum's way.

Good Behaviour Bond

I am starting to have my suspicions that Mark is either up to something... or broken something - because he has been behaving really well of late.

Trailer Trash

We went to Bunnings this morning to pick up some staples for the staple gun (getting ready to paint the town yellow with our 'Naughty Night Out' posters).

I was waiting in the car whilst Mark went in, and upon his return he presented me with some lunch... a good ol' snag on bread from the locals raising money with their sausage sizzle out the front of Bunnings. So we weren't driving and eating we decided to eat in the car park before we got on our way. Soon after, a ute with a trailer pulled up beside us.

Quick to act Mark said 'Hurry and finish your lunch, I've just found a bin for the rubbish'... I asked Mark 'Are you serious?' and he said no don't be ridiculous.... but the next thing i knew my serviette was taken from me, scrunched up, thrown out the window of our car - into next doors trailer and Mark started the car and took off....

So to the young guy who probably went to load his trailer today, only to find Mark and my serviettes in it - I do apologise but it wasn't my fault.
