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.

The aftermath. |
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.

Sure, I look innocent crashed in the bow of a skiff, but wait till there's some blue feathers around. |
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.
