Let us ride together, Blowing mane and hair, Careless of the weather, Miles ahead of care, Ring of hoof and snaffle, Swing of waist and hip, Trotting down the twisted road With the world let slip. Anonymous riding song.
Friko, thank you. Anyone who is willing to keep a dog close and part of their lives 24/7, keep it tired out and make use of every learning opportunity that arises, can do this. Same method for children:) I did get a kick out of them writing in Ruly's bio that he'd been spending time with their trainer.
Ruly was adopted? Yea! And it looks as if he has his very own little girl. I bet they are going to have lots of fun together. Congratulations, Ruly and your new family.
Jean, there are two girls to play with and they live way north on the California coast. They are close to the beaches. They drove for hours to come and get him. He's a great car-dog so another plus in his favor.
S&S, There's a whole team involved, not just me. His new name is Oliver, I'm told. They took it from the story of Oliver, the orphan, and when shortened it also rhymes with collie and sounds similar to the name he's grown used to. I approve:)
If I were a tree, I would be a London Plane. I am gregarious but enjoy solitude. I am English in my heart and soul, but still have room for other nations. I have lived in six countries and picked up a French husband along the way. We have a wonderful, kind, strong-minded daughter who has become a "Human of whom to be proud". I am a magnet for the lost. I foster collies (and collie cousins and the occasional, accidental, cat or crow). Those I have saved have saved me in return. I notice the world around me and often talk to strangers. Traveling alone is interesting, liberating and fulfilling. I am good at most things that I undertake but have few formal qualifications. I am able to have and treasure friends with whom I disagree about almost everything. My life is not over. Who knows where I am headed?
A ponyism is one of Life's Truths perceived from the perspective of an Effing Pony: - Life's a Bluff! - Those who aspire to make their mark on this world must expect to scrape some skin on the walls of experience. - The greatest value of money is as the currency of Hope.
- To be an Ass or an Asset, that is the question?
-Selective memory is but the first step on the path to magical thinking.
-Not all Baggage comes with wheels. -When your hero is a horse you are less likely to be disappointed than were he a human.
-Unfortunately, great wealth does not always equate with class.
-A dick, surrounded by puppies, remains a dick. -What better antidote to evil than kittens? -Any time you have something heavy, ready to drop, your cat will sit right below and look up at you.
Be a good boy now, Ruly!
ReplyDeleteYou obviously can work wonders with dogs. No wonder you are permanently on the Wanted Lists.

DeleteSo now YOU are "un-Ruly"
ReplyDeleteSilly Silliyak, you made me smile. He's probably going to be renamed one last time. I am, indeed, un-Ruly:)
DeleteAwww, so cute. So happy for all of them.
ReplyDeleteGrey Horse, they all look like they're in love.
DeleteSuch a cute picture.
ReplyDeleteStephen, a moment well captured, now if only we could bottle it:)
DeleteWhat a wonderful picture. I am glad he has a family that loves him and that he has a family to love right back.
ReplyDeleteDogDitcher, you are so right!
DeleteFantastic! Lucky Ruly :D
ReplyDeleteTails, Thanks. Pet your menagerie from me.
DeleteBest part of my day so far.
ReplyDeleteKerry, I now have this picture any time I need a smile. Glad it made you happy too.
DeleteJust noticed the little girl's knee. I guessing he's going to have a good playmate.
ReplyDeleteSilliyak, He had his first beach experience yesterday. We chose this active family for this active dog.
DeleteCongratulations to Ruly , his new family ... and to you . You've worked your magic again
