The giant grin on her face tells the story – Ruby loves entertaining guests that come to visit her, especially the Hu-Dad.
Hi. Hu-Dad!
Hu-Dad traveled across the valley last night to visit the Hu-Grandmom and our cousins Tartok and Ruby. Ruby adores all of the attention during the Hu-Dad’s visit. They had quite the conversation.
And you will not believe what my brother, Tartok, did next!
Of course, Hu-Dad is also quite skilled in giving scratches (something about he gets a lot of practice with us back at Chez Herd). Ruby never complains if someone is willing to deploy their scratching skills on her.
Don’t stop now!

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend
June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.
A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.
Enjoy it your way

What a sweet, happy girl!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a shot of Ruby where she doesn’t have a giant smile
Awww Ruby you are an adorable hostess❤️
Mom, Ice’n Ebby all say: It’s so good to see Ruby and Tartok every so often. We seem to remember them from a long time ago. How old ARE they? They must be quite Senior Sibes now, too. They seem to both be so beautifully groomed all the time. Does the hu-Grandmom brush them every day?
Tartok is 11 years old. Ruby came to The Herd Annex in 2008, so we are not entirely sure, but expect that she is 9-10 years old.
