Football season has begun. Last year Ruby decided she did not like to be around while I watch football since I tend to get a bit loud when I’m rooting for our Detroit Lions. She will generally go retreat to the bedroom until things (I) settle down.
As the week two game started yesterday Ruby disappeared into the bedroom. She did come out during halftime, and as my husband and I sat in our recliners waiting for the game to resume Ruby wanted to play. She first brought her tennis ball (which is her favorite) but quickly changed her mind.
She then went and got her football which she rarely plays with.
Somehow, she seemed to know that it was football time. It baffles me – how did she know? I did toss the ball for her a few times before the game came back on. Then she went back to the bedroom while my husband and I finished watching our Lions crush the Chicago Bears 52-21.
GO LIONS!

She really is sweet, smart well behaved. I can’t imagine how she ended up in the shelter but I’m so thankful she is part of our family.

Awe… so sweet that she brought the football out! What a smartie!
I get loud during football season as well. Especially when my Ohio State Buckeyes are playing!

I am not normally a loud person and I’m sure that she doesn’t understand it’s a good excitement. She did seem to want to please me by playing football though. 🙂

Yes, Anne. I guess maybe she heard one of us mention football game and knew that was her football. I was amazed.

Ha ha – she’s a smart cookie Ruth! I like that she disappeared into the bedroom as soon as the game started and again after halftime. She’s a gentle soul. 🙂 Does Ranger stay? GO LIONS!

Ranger spends a lot of time napping in the bedroom everyday no matter what might be on TV.

Ranger being his “beagle self” but I like him when he stands by the box and looks in at the chicks like a protector or big brother. 🙂
