From the Owner

Ruby and I share the same birthday. A friend of mine noticed that, saw what it meant, and gifted her to me. Best gift I've ever received.

Ruby is a lizard hunter. Always chasing, always catching and never tiring. These lizards don't stand a chance and her energy is amazing. Ruby has a thing for my laundry basket — specifically my socks. If a sock goes missing, I know exactly who took it and where to find it. Regardless, the unconditional love is what makes her so special — my dog Ruby.

Ruby's Official Dossier

⚡

Superpower Can detect the crinkle of a cheese wrapper from three rooms away — through a closed door.

👿

Arch-Nemesis The vacuum cleaner. She does not trust it. The feeling is mutual.

💼

Career Ambition Holds the position of Lap Warmer. Has yet to receive a performance review — but never needed one.

🎵

Theme Song "You've Got a Friend" — because if Ruby is anything, she is a friend to everyone she meets.

📊

Investment Style Conservative, steady, and consistent. Much like the portfolios we admire — she plays the long game.

🏆

Greatest Achievement Once convinced three different family members she hadn't been fed yet. In the same hour. Legendary.

⚖️

Important Disclosure: Ruby has not been compensated for this feature — though she has expressed interest in a retainer payable in chicken treats. The views expressed in her dossier are her own and do not constitute financial advice, investment recommendations, or legal guidance. Past cuddles are not indicative of future results.
