Happy Tails: Oscar and Ruffian

It was a pleasure to log into Two Bright Lights and find these two cuties  sent in by Lindsay Docherty Photography.  They were adopted from Finding Shelter, after their previous owner could not care for them.  Oscar and Ruffian are littermates of Beagle/Jack Russell/Pug and German Shepherd heritage.  They have a gorgeous backyard to  run, jump and even swim in.

From their owner:  “Ruffian was known as ‘Beauty’- I renamed her after the greatest filly who ever ran, after I saw her run in this yard. Oscar was known as ‘Wolfie’ but since he is short and long, we renamed him for a hot dog.

Recently Ruffie PROUDLY brought me the entire 24 inch long shed skin of a snake. So far she has caught a toad and a snake, happily rolling in them and then Oscar does the same when she is done. Oscar is now obsessed with the fish in the pond and runs from side to side trying to catch them. Ruffie took to cannonballing into the pond, then sliding UNDER our shed, coming out caked in mud. She hides from Oscar, peeking out to get his attention, then hiding again and coming  out through another spot.

If I sound like a loved obsessed fool, I apologize, but I am. I have had 13 dogs in my adult life, and none match these for intelligence, mischief making, huggability, and laughter inducing.”

Happy tails indeed!  You can see more of Ruffian and Oscar on Lindsay’s blog.
