This is Ruby, the only survivor out of a litter of 4. All of them had roundworm and I took her and a remaining sibling to the vet's office, I guess I was a little too late, her brother died after bringing him home to the vet, but even when Ruby had a cold and was fighting off roundworm and anemia from all the fleas she had...she still played with Mama.
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have many skeletal and flight muscle adaptations which allow the bird great agility in flight. Muscles make up 25-30% of their body weight, and they have long, bladelike wings that, unlike the wings of other birds, connect to the body only from the shoulder joint. This adaptation allows the wing to rotate almost 180°, enabling the bird to fly not only forward but also straight up and down, sideways, and backwards, and to hover in front of flowers as it feeds on nectar and insects.
During hovering, ruby-throated hummingbird wings beat 55x/sec, 61x/sec when moving backwards, and at least 75x/sec when moving forward.
Ruby is my new dog! She was found wandering around Ealing at the same time as Cleo went missing, and stayed with some very lovely foster people for a while, but sadly they couldn't keep her for very long.
I got about 5 calls from people telling me that they'd seen the missing posters and that they'd heard that one had been found, but each time the lead led to Ruby, not Cleo.
We first met her when we went to find out if it was Cleo or not, and fell in love with her there and then, but was still obviously hoping Cleo would come home.
But no news came, and the people looking after Ruby were starting to panic as they did not want Ruby to go to a dog's home, and so I decided to take her in, and she's been with me for a month now, but I couldn't (and didn't want to jinx anything) say anything about her before, as we had to wait for six weeks before getting her chipped and so, in case her original owners came to claim her.
But they didn't, and so earlier today I took Ruby to the vet's and got her chipped and now she's officially mine, so I can show her off to you all!
She's one of the sweetest, good natured and obedient dogs I have ever met, and apart from the incidents with the stair carpet, she's been an absolute darling!
I have a feeling that all this was meant to be, and that Cleo is with a good home, and if she hadn't gone to them, I'd never have known what had happened to Ruby as she needed a home too! And I'd be on my own without her too, which would have made getting over Cleo far, far worse.
I have to take her out walkies now, but you'll hear more about her very soon!

This Ruby-throated Hummingbird arrived in Santa Fe, New Mexico in April and settled into a garden tree.
It must have traveled a long distance because it rested in the tree for an hour before off it went!
