I've been cleaning up and organizing my fly tying room, and had a nice pile of random feathers and flash on the ground the other day when I took off and left the door open. Seizing an opportunity my rat terrier Ruby started exploring a room she isn't often allowed into. With many different colorful and shiny options for a chew toy, Ruby went straight for a Kingfisher Blue grizzly saddle. Fortunately no serious damage was done, and only a handful of feathers were plucked from the saddle, none ruined.

This is not the first time that some blue materials have been attacked by Ruby, the first was a pack of blue guinea that got strewn across my living room. Both times she had the opportunity to chew on a bunch of different steelhead colors, and both times she chose blue. Apparently steelhead aren't the only things out there that have to crush blue when given the opportunity.

Diggin the new site design. I'm going to be swinging some blue in the Puget Sound region between 12/29 and 1/1. Likely a long shot, but holler if you're around. Also, still planning on doing a late Feb-Mar Oregon run. I'll holler at you soon.
