Ruby came to rescue 2/1/08 and at the time weighed an obese 23.5 lbs!! It was clear that she was used to being fed human junk food... and LOTS of it.

(2/1/08) Little did she know it, but this pudgy teddy bear was about to undergo a transformation!

(2/1/08) Under a vet's care, she was put on a strict diet and exercise regimen. So in the next pictures, watch her "journey" to slimness, as she has lost 1/3 of her body weight!

(2/8/07) In the beginning, even a slow 1/4 mile walk tired her out. She huffed and puffed going up a flight of stairs. And she couldn't jump into the car without a boost.

OMG she is so svelte!!! How much has she lost since Jamboree-- I think she is thinner than my chunky butt Satch!! Good work, can you work out a diet plan for me too? Jaime

I love the video of Ruby playing.  She says,"I don't care about that little yellow ball, I just want my belly rubbed!"  She looks so very sweet and cuddly.  Ruby seems quite happy at her foster home.  I don't know how you can give them up.  Bless you Foster parents!

I have the pleasure of knowing Ruby, and she is the best little girl, with so much love to give, and loves the attention she gets in return. What a special girl!
