DebiSlaughter 9 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Abby (Obsidian) trail riding in Crooked River, Oregon with owner, Eileen Vollertsen, and favorite horse Classic This is such a heartwarming picture of Eileen and Abby! I, too, would love to see pic of Abby in the saddle! Get that camera ready, Kim! Link to post Share on other sites
Allison 2,369 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 She is now retired and living with Eileen. You can see it's a perfect match. Link to post Share on other sites
tawa 1 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 She is now retired and living with Eileen. You can see it's a perfect match. Powerful picture. You can tell the relationship between the dog and owner goes way back! Wallace Link to post Share on other sites
patci 14 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I think this is the Abby from the new line that Kim used to breed into his. If so she is my dog's (Ayashe) mommy. my ayashe looks just like her only a little darker on her back. its fun to see her now with you. Link to post Share on other sites

Allison 2,369 Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I see what you mean. I hope she will come online and tell us. I have often tried to tell people how intimate our dogs can be, but words simply fall short, and I wind up feeling a bit silly. This picture, though, expresses very well, their ability to show affection. My dog will slip his paw into my hand, sometimes, when we are alone, traveling together. It's very touching. Of course, he can be quite the critic, too. He is always critiquing my driving; he looks at me, very abashed, when I don't shift smoothly. That's our AIDogs! Link to post Share on other sites

No one can understand unless they see it. Soul hugs when he is frightened or when one of us is "down". He jumps into our laps and puts both paws around our necks and then snuggles his head down into our shoulder. We found out he is afraid of cats "fighting" or ...well - you know! He can jump pretty far when something scares him! Bwahahaha As for the critiquing...Soul feels that there are times that I should not be on the computer...and he will "type" messages to tell whomever I am messaging it is time to go...although they never understand what he has says! Bwahahaha Link to post Share on other sites
