I happen to love Ruby! I am very fortunate I get to hear her "talk" to me on a regular basis. Ruby's slave (Mommy) and I are very close friends. We talked almost weekly and Ruby when awake!!! usually will talk to me. She makes the most incredible sounds. When her Mommy talks to her the two of them can have a conversation that last for several minutes. It is so funny. I have never heard anything like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
