We picked Quicksilver (nka Ruby) up last Thursday night and she is settling in well at our home. Friday night was so warm and beautiful that we decided to give Ruby and our grey (Journey) a bath on the driveway! Ruby wasn't crazy about being wet, but she seemed to love all the rubbing and stroking while getting dried off with the towel. Even before we checked her racing records online, we suspected she had been pretty good based on how she handled herself in the backyard during a few sprints with Journey! Her attitude was, "bring it on"!!! Other than her adorable grey face, she shows very little signs of being a nine year old. We opt to have our grey (and now Ruby) sleep in our bedroom at night. We have her in an ex-pen for now so that she is not tempted to wander during the night. She is an absolute angel during the night. She waits patiently in the morning for us to signal the start of the day. No whining or fussing for us to get up before we are ready! She is an enthusiastic eater and would like to finish Journey's meal as well, but we are working on curbing that behavior. She gets it, but sees no harm in trying! Here are photos of her after her bath Friday night when she sacked out on the bed in the family room and was dead to the world . . .
