Ruby

Any nicknames?

My Mum calls me Rubies and Pooby when I have runny poos

When were you born?

December 2002

Where do you live?

Newtown, Sydney

What breed of dog are you?

Bullmastiff

Describe your personality?

Patient, tolerant, stoic, cautious, playful, very friendly and welcoming (except if there are any intruders at my house)

What is your favourite personalised dog collar design?

I currently have a wardrobe full of personalised pet collars. I am currently wearing a red collar with pink script writing with a star icon on either side of my name.

What is your favourite food?

Everything except lettuce, onion and chilli. I especially like food that has been hand fed and/or accidentally dropped on the floor. I love it when my Mum peels grapes for me.

What is your favourite toy?

Sticks.

What is the favourite thing about your Mum/Dad?

My Mum gives me lots of cuddles and attention and always gives me some of her food. I love roaming the streets of Newtown with my Dad. Sometimes my Dad lets me walk around off the lead but I don't trust myself if I see a cat running away — they provoke a chase, except when they just stand there and give me the evils, then I'm scared (but don't tell them that!)

What's the naughtiest thing you do?

I used to dig up brand new expensive plants Mum and Dad freshly planted in the backyard but they've since put chicken wire around them for some strange reason — damn that chicken wire!

What makes you special?

I'm the smallest Bullmastiff in the world. I love to lean against people wearing black trousers and leave my fur all over them. They don't realise that the more they push me away the more I lean. I've mastered the droopy-eyed "I'm starving, haven't been fed in days" look to a fine art and I can dribble on cue. Mum gets sucked in all the time but Dad's not so gullible — I'll have to work on that. Perhaps if I suck in my guts I'll look skinnier. Nah, he'll see through that, I'll just stick to what works best — hang around Mum! (Just thinking out loud here)

Other comments?

Founder and President of BABS (Bullmastiffs Against Botox Society) and WABO (Wrinkles Are Beautiful Organisation). Want to join? I love to wrestle with my boyfriend, Spud. I'm content in the knowledge that I'm the boss of him and I can knock him down with a swipe of my paw. Life is good.
