ruby really does bite!
Ruby strikes again
this time she bit a 70 year old lady who was a guest in our house. the lady was trying to be nice to ruby and ended up invading ruby's comfort zone. she suffered 2 cuts to her index finger, a nice cut on her wrist and a long cut on her elbow. ruby doesn't let strangers get to close to her. if anyone trys to pet her too aggressively, she bites. i've lost track of the number of people she has bitten. there are times when i wonder if ruby is worth the all trouble she causes.
on the positive side not many people like coming over to our house. which can be nice.
i'm in agony after karate last night. as we were finishing up the sensai informed the
class that the saturday session would start at 9:30 and end at 12:30. holy mother of pearl, that's 3 hours. 90 fecking minutes almost killed me.
i'm reminded of gilligan's island...a three hour tour, a three hour tour.
we all know what happend to the castaways. i'm fecked!

Maybe some of that time will be spent with the instructor giving out information/history about karate, or learning how to breathe and focus and other non-strenuous things.
Then again, you might be chopping plywood with the side of your hand for three hours straight.

hm..im more worried about ruby..poor baby..is the old lady going to be ok?..you might just make ruby a no pet dog cause she will bite dog...when i had nate he wouldnt bite but he looked so scary..110 lbs..pitbull..but when people would come to the house and ask if he bit i always said yes....not just to cover my ass..but because i was embarrased to have a 110lb pit bull that was a huge pussy...he might lick you to death or squash your nuts trying to sit in your lap..but that was all...
give rube a big hug and kiss for me...

I've been doing yoga for six months and those women have just about killed me. Btw, anyone who sez yoga is easy hasn't done yoga.
My late Welsh Corgi, Lord Byron, was also quite the biter. He bit me several times. He's been gone a couple of months and I can still hear him howling when Law & Order comes on (he sang for it and [cringe] ABC News. (YouTube video coming sometime soon.)

Poor Ruby. Gets her space all invaded. I bite too and that's why I don't have many visitors.
3 Hours... good luck!

Two principles of survival spring to mind.
1)If you don't want to get mugged in a dark alley,stay out of dark alleys.
2)Never kiss a pitt bull on the lips
...I'm just sayin'...

Just think, after a three hour lesson you will know a bunch of stuff to defend yourself and as soon as you can move again you can use it.
I hope the bitee is OK and doesn't cause any trouble for Ruby.

3 hours? Jesus. At the end of that, they'd have to peel me off the floor with a spatula.

If Ginger and Mary Ann are there it could be great! I guess I'm kind of twisted, I always thought they should do a porn version of Giligans Island.

she looks so mellow in her pictures. could you mix some pot in her kibble to mellow her out before guests come over?

It sure would be curtious to you and Ruby if people asked you if Ruby minded to be patted and how. Then approach slowly and let her sniff you out. If she growls or body language says no, leave her alone.
Think of her as a kid and some stranger looks like they're gonna grab you by the head and do you in. It's either flight or fight. Where's the dog sense here?
