The Purple Pair!

Yesterday was once again, great! Cindy Lou Ruffino and her friend, Sharon H. drove down for a visit and also so Cindy Lou could give Kinky, Tony and me a copy of her new book, Out of the Texas Mist! They arrived around ten-thirty, and we had a wonderful visit, in Outer Space, for several hours! As usual, there was plenty of laughter, too.

After our visit, Tony and I gave them our grand tour of the trailer. Sharon loved our trailer, especially the painted rugs on the floor. Also, our dogs fell in love with Cindy Lou and Sharon and would not leave them alone—until we left the trailer to show them the rescue ranch, but more importantly— Bridgett Bardot.

Cindy Lou had seen Bridgett on our web site: utopiarescue.com and she was pretty certain that she wanted to adopt Bridgett and take her home! Her Boston Terrier, Mater, needed a companion!

While Tony showed them the ranch, I stayed behind, to fill out the adoption forms on Bridgett, just in case Cindy Lou wanted to adopt her. When I filled out the adoption form, I had my fingers crossed, and that made it very difficult for me to write legibly—but it was worth it and sorta readable!

When I met up with them, Bridgett was licking Cindy Lou’s face! They were best friends and even wearing matching outfits—purple shirt—purple collar! “I want her!” Cindy Lou said.

“That’s fantastic, but remember, if it doesn’t work out—we will gladly take her back,” I said.

“Oh no,” Cindy Lou said. “Adopting Bridgett Bardot is a lifetime commitment. She won’t be coming back.”

Cindy Lou quickly filled out the adoption contract, and then it was time for them to leave. When she loaded up Bridgett Bardot into Sharon’s van—Bridgett quickly sat down on the back seat—and she was ready to go! Goodbye rescue ranch!

We then said our goodbyes, hugged each other, and then they drove away, with one very happy dog in the back seat! Tony and I were thrilled with the adoption! This is a picture I took of Bridgett Bardot a few months ago.

I have just started reading Cindy Lou’s book, Out of the Texas Mist and I am having trouble putting it down! It’s a great mystery and Kinky, her hero, is a character in it, too, which even makes it more fun to read! Cindy Lou is a great writer and I love her voice. I feel like I am right there with her and Kinky.

The ISBN is: 1-60563-916-8 and you can order it from Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble or go to cindylouruffino.com

I must go now, to return a few phone calls, and then I plan to hopefully, finish Out of the Texas Mist tonight!

P.S. IT HAS BEEN RAINING HERE ALL DAY!!!!! YEAH!

Nancy,
Mater is in love he will not stop running through the house with his squeaky toy trying to impress Bridgett. This morning Bridgett and I had a fun tussle play time in the big rooms floor. She is such a beautiful dog and I am so lucky to have her in my life. She follows me everywhere and my heart just sings as I look into her sweet eyes. Thank you so much for being such a great friend and giving me the chance to share my life with one of your rescues.I hate to go to work tomorrow and not spend the day with my two fur kids.
Hugs
Cindy Lou
