Announcing the Newest Addition to the Hanners Family!

Shortly after Morgan returned to NM, we adopted our very first pet together. Her name is Ruby Roo Hanners, and she is 8 months old. We know that she has some Boxer in her, and she is great with the kids.

I found out about her from the children's librarian at the public library. She rescues animals, and has about 60 pets in her house. She has about 10 dogs right now, and is looking for good homes for them. Ruby had been severely neglected by her previous owners. They put her in their backyard and stopped feeding her. Their neighbors threw food over the fence to her, and eventually rescued her. When she arrived at the home of the librarian, they could see all of her ribs. She has since gained a lot of weight, but we are hoping she will gain a little more. She is a medium sized dog, and is still fairly thin.

The kids absolutely love her. She is very gentle and loving with them. Braden and Morgan take her for walks in the mornings sometimes. On Saturday the whole family took her for a walk together and had a great time running around a grassy park with beautiful trees in it. We have decided to do that every night from now on.
