Grit

The Rushing family has a new addition :) Our Christmas gift to ourselves was a new dog. He is a miniature Australian Shepherd. We have named him Grit. We picked him up from Albion, OK. It was a long 3 hour drive and the breeder was a bit shady with a million dogs. Thankfully she did not breed this dog, and he has proved to be the perfect fit for us.


He is becoming more confident in himself. We live on a ranch without fences for dogs, so his lifestyle is a bit different than most dogs. We have to train him to be loyal to us and to come when we call. He is becoming more and more loyal which is wonderful.


He enjoys playing with our adopted blue heeler named Blue. She treats him as her pup. He tries to show her his stuff, hoping to impress her, yet she just treats him like a little kid rather than a prospect male, ha! Blue is owned by Ryan's boss. They moved off the ranch so she stays on the ranch with us. Grit is enjoying his new life, and we are enjoying him!

  1. "I want to love him, I want to hug him and I love him so much. I think he needs clothes and new dog toys for his birthday. You know doggies are so enchanted. And I pray that he will have good times and play with his friends. He should be so cute. I love him so much and you know he looks so adorable and everyone knows!"

  2. Ella has more to say (she said I left stuff out), "He likes doggies - that's it."
