We said, “Look how beautiful she is, wouldn’t it be great if she was ours?” Lo and behold, she was. Ruby is a joy. For us, it was love at first sight and we’re pretty sure...

Thanks for asking me how I’m doing. Jane is writing this while I dictate because I’m still not reliable on the keyboard. I just rest my face across it and I never know what I’m going to write.
