Daphne & Bentley's New Home and Friends
This blog is for people who have adopted a dog from Ridgeback Rescue of the US (RRUS). This blog provides a forum for you to share stories (both joys and concerns) about your adopted ridgeback. This blog is ONLY to be used for this. This is not for the discussion of rescue business. Any posts found to be in violation of this will be removed.
From now until March 31, 2011, Pacific Northwest Soaps is donating a portion of their sales to one of three Ridgeback Rescues (Ridgeback Rescue of the US, Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue, Inc and Ridgeback Rescue of Northern California). Before you start shopping, make sure you choose from the drop-down menu which Rescue you wish your purchase to go towards. So, you not only get some great soaps but you get to help Ridgebacks in need too! What could be better?
Aka Stoney's lion around , he was one of a group of 9' that was rescued from Alabama . To North Carolina his foster mom Carol .. I couldn't wait to see what he do on the farm in Pa. That was 2 years and 2 months ago . He is ripping my heart apart for this short time of having him and I knew it might happen ,cause of most of his life in puppy mill . Any of his off springs out there you got a good one.. Stoney was smart ran with me all over the land free and never left my side . Had a week in a resort and showed off and even walked for paws for cancer .He got up to 110 lbs and his age ha ! that boy could run .. Every night when I would get into bed he would even come up to my face and smell me and press down on my cheek. he made you love him... There is no great pet then a rescue .. Need to says thanks to Allyn ,Amanda an R.R .. I love and miss my boy I even had it put in STONE . tina
TJ went out to play too soon after eating. I was distracted and let him do his rough housing with Taylor. He came into the house and tried to dry heave for 20 minutes. I checked him, thinking he was choking and tried to help. He looked 'anxious' and almost frantic. I felt his stomach - it was taut - not bloated. I called vet. We decided to take no chances and went in for x-ray to check for gas in stomach and to see if twisted. After we got there I noted his stomach was softer and he'd quit dry heaving. Vet gave him peroxide and he finally vomited. My regular vet said in her mind (she is brilliant) he had a resolved 'bloat/torsion', which could have been life threatening.
OK Everyone it's time for another RRUS Reunion/Playdate. Again we are scheduled to go to the Pensacola, Florida dog park on Sept 18th. The plans are to get there around 2 PM. We'd love to see as many former and current RRUS dogs as possible. So far we have Ridgebacks coming from AL, FL, NC, TX and MS!!! Should be a lot of fun. If you can't make it, no worries we'll be sure to post pictures for all to enjoy.
A few Ridgeback fanciers from the South headed up to PA for the annual Ridgeback Rodeo. It also worked out that we were able to transport 2 RRUS foster dogs up from their surrendering home to their foster homes. Sherman and Kassan should be available for adoption soon- both are sweet, young males who just need a forever home!
We joined many others from all over the USA and Canada at the game preserve in Amish country to try our hand at many different activities. If a Ridgeback can do it, you'll have the opportunity to try it. There was hunting, herding, agility, lure coursing, conformation, and Canine Good Citizen evaluations.
