Ruger has had a lot of "firsts" with us lately since he is still so new to the family. Jeff took him for his first car ride with him in the front seat. He was just running a quick errand so I suggested he take him along. When I called him to see how 'the roogmeister' was doing he said "he's doing well" I said 'awesome, is he staying in his seat?' to that Jeff responded, 'yes, well for the most part anyway, I have him buckled in' (keep in mind Jeff has never had a dog before...) I was dying laughing, with the mental image I had. So I have to post a picture of what little bit of seat beat Ruger had left on him by the time they got home. Of course he took along his trusty chicken toy for the ride. 
Here are a couple of cute pictures of Ruger...and also one I like of Ruger's raincoat hanging up with Jeff's coats... too cute.. 
Today Ruger took his first trip to meet the Vet, get a check up, and some necessary shots. Of course when we went in he had to sniff everything!! He doesn't like climbing up onto things at all, for example when we take him for a car ride, we have to lift him into the car. Well at the Vet, they needed to weigh him... the scale was literally not more than an inch of from the floor, I think he may lift his feet higher to walk.. He wouldn't go on it.. I think the assistant thought I was silly when I had to pick him up to put him on this scale, one inch from the floor.. at least I can laugh at myself... Here are some pics of Roog in exam room, waiting for the Dr. to come in. 
Every morning when I leave for work, Ruger looks out the front door at me, begging me to take him along. It's really sad, all you can see are his eyeballs, and ears looking out at you once you get in the car... Here he is one morning with his new sheep toy.. 
Playing with the pink ball...
Playing with his new monkey, he loves the soft toys!! 
Ruger is doing very well at being home alone during the day... He is adjusting well to life with two crazy parents!!

YAY!! He is so cute. Sydney loves to stand on the center console too. We joke that she is navigating the vessel! I hate leaving the dogs in the morning - it never gets easier - they will always look at you with those big puppy eyes.
Ruger is adorable,Amanda...Can't wait to see him in person.
I'm happy that he likes to ride in the car because that means you can bring him to one of our Sunday dinners.
I notice that he has lots of clothes, including a raincoat. Does he have a tuxedo?
No Tuxedo... Yet! I'll keep my eyes peeled.. We can't wait for Football season to throw his Jersey on for game day! I know he can't wait for Sunday dinners! Right now his favorite food is Tuna, he goes nuts over it!!
I love that he has his own rain jacket. Next you'll all have to get matching Polos and take family photos! (Hey, we've all been there.)
That is way cute with Jeff buckling him in. It is hard to leave them home and go to work. I was happy when my job in Florida let me take him with me. Abby loves all the photos of the "puppy". We love you guys!
