Introduction

These are my 2 dogs - Beau and Finn. Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Beau, Crestridge Ujamaa Beauregard, is 15 months old and a great dog. He is everything you could ask for in a companion animal. Loyal, smart, even tempered, quiet. Finn, Kengali's Leap of Faith, is a 4.5 months old. He is rowdy, outgoing, smart, and a little feisty, but forever loyal and brave.

Beau is our family pet. We got him with absolutely no intention other than getting dog. We took him thru puppy school training and all the way to his Canine Good Citizen and he did us proud and received that title when he was just 8 months old. We socialize him well and he loves all people and dogs. It has been very interesting to see him develop in to the dog he is. As a pup, he would look to us for protection and come to us when he heard a noise, etc. He was cautious and careful. Then all of a sudden, he would hear a noise and go investigate. Now, no questions asked as to what he does. He goes right out to inspect and investigate.

And then I got bit by the bug. The desire to have a dog I could show. Enter Finn. He is head first in to almost every situation he deems safe. He follows Beau everywhere and does not back down from nothing. Where Beau does not want to get out of bed in the morning, Finn wants to be up at 5:00 am. Yes. Five A.M.

It's worked out well having 2. Sometimes, as they are racing thru the house, I long for the days before 2 of them - but not for long. Then they do something to make me laugh and I remember why I have them.

This is going to be a blog of my adventures with the 2 of them. We want to lure course Beau and show Finn. it's also going to be a blog about the changes in my life and how I am adjusting to the life away from my family and now down here in Florida.
