Diet is important for all of us...
When I remarried at 60 my sweet Yellow Lab, Ruby, had been with me for eight years so she was part of the package deal. My children were both adults, making their life outside my home. But wherever I was, whatever my living situation, Ruby would be with me. So when I made the move to my new husband's home, so did Ruby. Jim had always had dogs. It was true love---I have been known to tease that he married me for my dog. I could not have married someone who wasn't a dog lover anyway.Ruby was a typical Labrador Retriever in many ways. She was loyal as can be and loved to eat, play, run, and nap. Although I didn't realize it at the time, she was also slightly pleasantly plump. Another way she was not uncommon was she was plagued with ear infections.
