Fredericka,

Sorry it has taken so long to write! Ruby is doing great! She is growing like a weed, she’s around 80 lbs. now at about 6 1/2 months old. She has definitely been a joy to both Matt and I, and it’s hard to imagine life without her. Ruby has a lot of new friends, and she gets along with them all so well. Her favorite is her Aunt Lucy, the golden retriever in the picture. You can’t say the other one’s name aloud without them going crazy. They love to play for hours on end, and they are definitely our entertainment. Ruby has the goofiest personality, and she is always finding a new way to crack us up. And she has definitely perfected the art of “selective hearing.” She passed her puppy class, and was the largest by far, even bigger than another mastiff in the class. We plan to enroll her in another obedience class soon.

I will try and write a bit more frequently, but here are a few photos from the weekend we brought her home until now. Thank you again for such a wonderful animal, we love our “little” Rubes!!

Take Care,

Lindsay & Matt
