LMAO! From the blog.... Ruby's Happy Dance.

I've posted quite a bit about our two dogs, Ruby and Chevy. Both are pit bull mixes, and both are wonderful, happy, friendly dogs. Ruby can be a little too happy.

Last night, Pam took both dogs off the boat to do their business. Getting back on the boat, I heard Pam laughing hysterically. Finally catching her breath, she told me the story. Coming down the ramp, Chevy high-tailed it to the boat, but Ruby decided it was time to do her "happy dance". Ruby's happy dance consists of bouncing up and down, prancing and wagging not only her tail but her whole butt. Well, she started the happy dance, and got happier and happier. She bounced backwards and forwards, backwards and backwards, and forward, and backwards and backwards and backwards until she was out of dock. SPLASH!

Ruby loves to swim, but I don't believe she likes to do it without warning. She seemed none the worse for it, though. Perhaps just a bit chagrined.
