RUBY THE RED DOG

I am currently mentally working on my next children's book. I haven't written one since my older boys were little, but I have been inspired by Ruby The Red Dog. I can't finish it until I go take a few more pictures of Ruby in her daily routine, but this will be part of the book:

Ruby sees the bugs in her swimming pool.
Ruby dips down and splashes them out with her paw.
A quick snap of her mouth and the bugs are gone.
The bugs should stay out of Ruby's pool!

Ruby is always on guard.
Standing on this high perch,
Ruby has a better view of her pool.
Beware any bugs or frogs that dare to jump in!

On a hot summer day, Ruby decides it time for a swim.
The water is cool and
Ruby is hot from making her rounds.

Headed for the deep water,
Ruby's legs are always moving-
Like she is running in the water.


Ruby reaches the end of the pool
With a quick turn
She heads back the way she came.



Ruby glances over as she swims by
wondering why a strange
human is by her pool.


Nearing the steps, Ruby is almost finished
with her swim.



Up she goes-back up the steps
A big shake off and
Away Goes Ruby
Always making her rounds.




Ruby is a busy dog and the book will show all that she does in a day. Ruby the Red Dog.
