Ruby is a 9 week old Bichon Frise. She's just over 3 lbs and will be between 8 and 12 lbs when she is full grown. She definitely loves to be wherever we are and loves to be included in whatever we are doing. So far the house training has been a huge pain (which I knew it would be) because we have to get up in the night and take her out frequently during the day, but she hasn't gone in the house since the first day, and she also doesn't ever go in her kennel. So far so good.
Eden has a love/hate relationship with Ruby and it's quite entertaining to watch those two. The cutest part about it is that Ruby just trots along behind Eden wherever Eden goes. Eden loves to share her blankie and toys with Ruby. She will go to the toy cupboard and bring toys out just to show Ruby. Eden also likes to hold her, but only if Ruby is holding still, so it never lasts very long. Several times I've caught Eden trying to tell Ruby things by signing to her. However, when Eden's not in the mood she doesn't think it's so great when Ruby wants to play or follow her around right on her heels. Overall, Eden loves her though and always ask for her first thing when she wakes up in the morning or from her nap.
I think Ruby will end up being a great kid-friendly dog, which is definitely something that drew us to this breed. When we babysat the Pickett girls the other night she absolutely loved those girls too and followed them wherever they went. Ruby gets super shy when other adults come around, but bring any kids near her and she loves them.
It's definitely been work, but so far she has been worth it. Welcome to the family Ruby!
