Red Ruby Smiles

Time for Hu-Dad to travel across the valley and have dinner with the Hu-Grandmom and our cousins Ruby and Tartok, so we share some Red Ruby smiles.

Ready for some games, Hu-Dad?

Ready for some games, Hu-Dad?

One of Ruby’s favorite games is the paw touch game. The rules are simple. Hu-Dad tries to touch a paw. Any paw. And if he touches a paw, a bell rings. Ok, sure, the bell might sound like the howls of protest from a certain red-headed Sibe, but the paw touch certainly elicits a sound.

Maybe if I spread my paws further.

This game can go on and on and on, much to the dismay of other humans (and Sibes) in the house, but Ruby and Hu-Dad sure have a good time with it. When they finally tire of that game, they move on to Ruby’s second favorite game:

Rub my belly.

Rub my belly.
