April 12th - SSRRC Fun Day

Our Florida Ridgeback club had it's spring fun event at Ft. DeSoto beach this past weekend.  The weather was GORGEOUS, as spring in Florida is, and a great time was had by all!  Well...almost!  I took Strider and Sachi, and well, they're "take" on swimming in the ocean was, well......less than enthusiastic, to say the least!

Our friends, Steve and Melody were there with their two dogs, Missy and her son, Samson.  Missy loves, loves, LOVES the water and swimming!!  They weren't sure how Samson would do...this was his first trip!  At 5 months old, he quickly followed in his mom's footsteps and is a water lovin' fool, too!!

Strider's brother, Hunter, enjoys swimming a lot and is the social butterfly of the dog beach!  His dad takes him there a lot, and he loves romping around and meeting all the other dogs that are there.

Strider gamely came in the water, if I was in it.....and that's the best I can say for my two!!  Sachi just stood on the sand looking miserable, with that pleading look...."Can we just go HOME?!!!"  Yep.....she'd rather be out in the woods chasing squirrels....which is exactly what she's doing right now as I write this!!
 

Sachi, Samson & Strider...not too sure about this beach thing! Samson's mom, Missy is ready to play with Steve!  Hunter is loving it, too!!
Strider doesn't think this is fun.....Sachi say NO WAY!!! Sachi and Strider don't want to play this game!!
Missy LOVES this, Samson says he loves it, too!!! Who says Ridgebacks won't fetch??  Go, Missy!
Strider says he'll give it a try!      well.....maybe!!! Sachi is having NOTHING to do with the whole thing!!  Ears down, tail tucked...NOT a happy camper!!
Samson and Missy are having the time of their lives!!! Sachi says "Can we PLEASE go HOME NOW??!!"


A REAL "FEEL GOOD" MOMENT!!!!

I reported a couple of days ago that Gage has been adopted and has settled in nicely in his new home.  We had so many people call about him, that I thought we'd share some photos with his new family.  We knew he was  a "man's man" in his previous home........looks like things will continue the same way!  Leave it up to a Ridgeback to take over home and hearts in a single day!!
 

 One of his new boys!! He make a GREAT pillow!!!
AND a 120lb LAP DOG!!!! LIFE IS GOOD!!!  BETTER THAN GOOD!!  GREAT!!!!
