Ol' Blue Eyes

2/13/2013

Ridley Yukon, doggie extrordinaire
On the eve of Valentine's Day, I am slipping in a blue-eyed reminder of the incredible love vibe our animals give us 24/7/365. Ridley is my near genius level (half Border Collie, half husky) pooch I got as a pup. I could write pages about what 'His Smartness' has accomplished in his life so far, but I will spare you the proud parent talk. Anyhow, back to the beginning - it went down like this.

 I had lost my collie ten months earlier and was not ready for a dog yet. I had just gotten back from San Francisco in middle of night and was jetlagged and planning on sleeping in.

Instead, I was awakened after only a couple of hours of sleep with an insistent inner message to drive almost an hour away to Petsmart. I knew it was adoption Saturday and as I said, I was not ready to be tempted by a 4 legged. But to no avail. The pull to go was strong. So I cut a deal with myself. I would go, look around, and then come back home.

Upon arriving at Petsmart, I walked in the door and was met by a man holding a puppy who had the most electric blue eyes I had ever seen on an animal. The man simply handed the puppy to me. We were't even in the section of the store where the adoption was taking place. I was so mesmerized by the eyes of this being. They were just stunning. (His eyes now have morphed into sky blue). I walked around the store holding this pup as if in a trance. I honestly don't remember deciding whether to get him or not. I just ended up with him.

What is clear clear clear to me is that he pulled me in. I was resistent, but he was stronger.

Riddley Diddley (one of his monikers) has been with me for eight years now. As my consciousness shifts, I always notice changes in him. I used to think he was also shifting but now I think it is more that I can just see deeper into who he has been all along.
 
I have two cats and another dog in addition to Ridley and they are likewise each remarkable in their own way so deserve mention, but Ridley is the main thrust of this blog. Just as he pulled me to come get him that day eight years ago at Petsmart, I think he pushed me to write about him today. I really do wonder who is in charge here.

You never cease to amaze me! After a long week of recovering the household balance obviously has been a bit off and our 10 yr old Ace( our dog which was rescued at 4 mths old) has taken notice. Last night through all the storms, he stayed in our sons room also his room, and must have been up all night listening and watching over him as he slept because this morning he was not himself. Coming out of the bedroom he didn't go straight to the door to go out as usual, he went into our room and layed on his bed. After calling for him he still just layed there. It wasn't until 40 min later he decided to go outside. Then, back to his bed. Odd behavior for him as he is ALWAYS in every room we are in and even the boys couldn't get him to stay in the living room. Nervous, I contacted hubby who said maybe he was just up all night but for a moment I thought the worst. Having to leave for a few hours I assured him I'd be back soon. When returning I was greeted by Ace, tail wagging and ready to go out. Yup, he just needed rest :) Spent the entire night awake watching over the household until the storm had passed.

Love it as usual Muriel. You are a wonderful amazing person and so is Ridley and his brothers and sisters...my amazing dog is Bailey. She has gorgeous ears that are set for radar on everything..even found the 5 week or so old kitten crying in the storm we were walking in one day 2 years ago. The first face Kitten saw was Bailey..and I got down and pulled her and she cried piteously all the way home. She has never recovered totally..she still cries like a kitten no matter what..does not know how to purr..well, maybe a little one but you can hardley tell but she LOVES her doggie. Bailey has stood on my bed in the deep of night and stood on the corner at me feet facing the corner of the room and looking up toward the ceiling there to bark ferociously at whatever thing was in my room..she protected me with such verociousnes..I felt better as she is so nice to everyone I wondered if she still had a german shepherdness in her after being abandoned by two families who had to..she is loved by me and helps me survive this sometimes cold dark world..and other times shares in joy as we go places together and she is an actress to no end..ecxept, she means it! Her love just collides with everyone...even the grizzly raccoon we encountered one night..he growled, he made his hair rise all along his back and he glared at her and they were 2 inches away from each other..spirit said let her be...wow..I had to trust...he growled some more and then Bailey just kept wagging her tail talking to him...I love you mr. raccoon..you may be grizzly but I see inside you and your are beautiful!!! You could see that he finally gave up as he just stood there like, okay, can I go now. Fine, I love you too..goodbye you are in my way..and Bailey backed up and mr. raccoon went on his way...all the little things that happen with her all the capers...I could not bear my life without her anymore...but as in all things, I will have to resolve to remember..I will live longer than her and will have to endure..but, I can love her with all my heart today. And my kitties as well...all are characters and demand their space in our home...it is theirs as well..as they are my friends too...♥
