The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

As many of you know, I lost my beloved Vamp last motn to cancer. As much as i missed her, Ruby missed her more. Ruby has always been in a 2 dog family, so she felt alone. Even though she get more of my attention, she having another dog to smell and sleep with. So I knew that I would get another dog, but it would have to wait until I came back from my flyfishing trip to Scotland. Yep, I would be fishing for Atlantic Salmon and sampling the offerrings of the whisky distilleries. My friends walked, fed and played with Ruby every day. I called her on the phone from Europe. But she was still lonely and cried.

So when I got back, I sat about to find us a pack mate. Last Saturday, I drove to the animal friends connections in Lodi and met Anna. Anna passed the Ruby test and now is her bud. Anna is about 14 months old border collie/pit mix. She was in foster care for the last 5 months and was house trained. She is adorable and as expected for a very young adult dog full of puppy energy.

So while I will always miss my beloved Vamp, I opened up my heart to Anna.

Border Collie - Pit Bull mix - oh my Lord!!

She is gonna be a handful! I never knew a border collie who didn't need a job to keep from being at least neurotic.

She looks like a sweetheart.

GOOD on you Loretta!
I guess Anna is proof of the saying "some dogs have all the luck!".

Vanp was a border collie. Her job was to herd me to make sure that I didn't eat or do anything that she disapproved of. She was always checking up on me. Unlike Ruby, who is a couch potato.

Congrats to you and Ruby and and Anna. Glad you were able to find Ruby a playmate. I'm sure she missed Vamp as much as you. Enjoy your new pack!
