Ruko's Adventure Day 3

Today Ruko got to go to the lake. We went fishing and Ruko got to go swimming. I went in with him to my waist. He swam a big circle and loved it. He had gotten in the lake before swimming just up to his belly.

When he got out of the water each time he started a very happy wrestling match with me. I laughed so hard because he was so happy and having the time of his life. 

He did play bite but it wasn't hard and there isn't a mean bone in this Husky's body. 

Wes had walked off and Ruko had a fit. He whined and barked. He didn't like Wes walking off. When Wes came back, Ruko had a very intense growl and bark, threatening the "stranger" he thought Wes was. Once he realized it was dad, he jumped up on Wes so very happy to see him. 

This dog is a blessing to me. He is already very loyal and its only been 4 days since I adopted him. 

Above is Ruko checking to on Wes. If you look close he's sitting in the background fishing. I was down the bank a little bit fishing and playing with Ruko. 

Ruko already knows if I get his harness he gets to go with me. I just hold it and he puts his head in after being all excited, and he ALWAYS goes with me wherever I go. 

He was very patient like always, laying by my chair or behind it and kept watch. 

He got to see geese and was very interested in them but never tried to run to them, never pulled on his harness.

He even stretched out in the grass on his side and was thoroughly enjoying his adventure.  We walked and he got to see country things. He is no longer a city dog. 

He knows how to ask to go outside in the yard, if I go out the other door I tell him I'll be right back and he waits at the door, doesn't try to bolt out. 

Below is a cloud Wes saw and pointed out to me above the lake. I took several pic as it would change colors. It was cool. 

He had a big day, we are home and now he is napping. I've never seen a dog come around like he has in 4 days. 

Last night he got his Nexgard and his Interceptor. I waited a few days because he had diarrhea real bad from stress. He got pumpkin, plain, it really helped. He is eating good and drinking good. Things are back to normal.  

He is a beautiful boy, so smart and has already learned so many things since being here. 

Ruko's Homecoming & 1st & 2nd Full Day

Today Ruko played fetch, tug o war, and I said shake and he handed me his paw.

Based on the picture from today I'd say he's pretty happy with his new life. I went out to feed horses this evening and he always waits at the door for me to come back. I walked in and he jumped up and I finally got kisses. He did it like 4 times! This makes me extremely happy. He always lays at my feet and sleeps on his bed next to my side of the bed. He starts out in the bed but it's to crowded with the other dogs.

I adopted Ruko May 6, 2026. He is 2 years old. His bday is August 11, 2023.

Here is some pics from May 6th and 7th. We didn't get home until 6 p.m. on the 6th

Before and after getting brushed yesterday May 7. These pics aren't in order.

May 6 the day his life would change forever.

After being so upset the first dog i told them I wanted had been adopted while I was enroute to get him. I called them on the way and no one bothered to tell me I couldn't put him on hold. I figure it was Devine intervention so I'd meet Ruko. He was meant to be mine. They brought him out, he laid right up against me, he picked me.

This is out first meeting

He's a beautiful boy, pictures don't do him any justice at all. He has piercing blue eyes.

When they showed me his picture my first comment was he isn't a husky. Turns out he really is.

I fell in love, he was going home with me.

He's watching TV the very evening he got home.

The next day I had to go to work so he got his harness on and WE went to work. He is crashed out on the floor of my clients house. She fell in love with him, she said she'd just take him and I said oh no you won't. Lol.

Below is not in order but this is the same afternoon he came home with me.

Below are from May 7th. He has been perfect.

Couldn't ask for a better husky. Today he started gathering the dog toys. His original name when his owners turned him in was Ruko and that's why he's named that. The shelter changed his name to Wall-E. Just no so I told them to please call him by his real name. Didn't want to confuse him. He had only been here 2 days so he didn't even know his new name they gave him. I called out his real name and he responded immediately.

When we left the shelter he pulled me out the doors. He walks very nicely on a leash so that should tell you how he felt about the place. They are not housed in runs, they are in cages.

Ruko my mother's day present

Yesterday I basically begged and pleaded for another husky. I had been window shopping and I found one. Get to the shelter and after driving 60 miles to a bad part of town he had been adopted. I had called and told them I was on my way. NO one told me they won't hold the dog so I was very upset. They did say they had another husky. I said I'd give him a chance. We'll below I'm sure you can tell how it ended. If you can't tell, he came home with me. He is a Siberian Husky, they called him Wall-E. Big nope, he isn't a robot. His name was Ruko, he was an owner surrender. Apparently they were moving and couldn't take him. So sad.

This dog is PERFECT. He is housebroken, doesn't act like a typical Siberian. He is so smart. He never leaves my side, goes everywhere with me and I can't wait to take him to the lake out on the boat. He will love it. He has been here a full day today. I didn't get him home until 6 last night. I took him to work with me today. He was a perfect gentleman. Everyone loved him and threatened to keep him. Lol. This afternoon we walked out to Dakota and Esra's Graves and I introduced him to them. I really miss them and I guess more than I thought because it's so nice to have a husky again. Divine intervention i know had something to do with the other one being adopted already. Ruko is 2 years old. He is a dark faced Siberian. I looked them up, I had never seen one.

He picked me as much as I did him.He laid in front of me and against me. That was it. He has been glued to me every since. No more kennels, just soft places to lay, no more kenneling him like previous owners did. No more humane society which is where pics were taken. Today I got him all brushed and he loves it. He would rotate so I could brush him all over. He met one of the horses today through the fence of course and on his leash. We have a fenced in front yard that is big so he runs loose in there with all the other dogs. He gets along with absolutely everyone. He is so very chill. I am sure I got the better dog and the shelter employees said the same thing. Good luck to the young couple that got the other one, I have a feeling they will need it. In the meantime, Ruko is catching up on sleep and getting settled in here at

home. Ruko helps fill the hole my other 2 left when they went over the rainbow bridge. Ruko did climb in bed next to me for a while last night. He has his own designated seat in my suv too. He pretty much can have what ever he wants.

So, everyone, please welcome Ruko. You'll be seeing more of him, hopefully on the lake on the boat soon. I have 3 dogs that go with me on the regular.

Last night he was laying by my chair and yes he's watching tvTV.

He wanted to look out the window and so he did

I'd say he was feeling right at home

He wasn't a country dog before so there are so many new things to see

And.....today it's bap time after being brushed and he is all shiny. 

Welcome to your new life Ruko, it will be a long happy one.

Bred again

Bred Dakota to Luke again this morning.  I think she's about done. Today she wasn't as interested.  

Wes apparently got a new hat. Bugsy was napping on his head. He's such a great dog. Silly as he can be, full of bouncing energy. He bounces off the walls. Just love that dog, along with all the others. It's just that moment they do something that reminds you how much you love them, even when they drive you nuts.

Breeding season

My beautiful mare is currently being bred to my beautiful stud who you'd never know was a stud. He is such a gentleman.  Today was the first time he's ever been bred. 

My black and white mare 

My stud muffin Luke

Below Dakota

Below is Luke

Both horses are solid and big. Big hopes for the foal.

I really didn't want to breed again, I do have Luke already set up to be gelded. Thinking about putting it off a month, or just take my chances in the next 18 days. Haven't decided yet. 

It's Been A Minute

It's been a hot minute since I wrote anything.  

My back is feeling better, still not riding but I will. I'm just taking it slow. Next appointment isn't until June. 

Some pictures of a few of the horses below:

Trick,  Luke, Newt

Luke's big butt.

Luke's chest. He is getting massive. He's still a stud but you'd never know it. He is sweet as a puppy, loving, snuggly. Honestly can't wait to ride him.
