and I'm HOME... for now.....


Hi... it's me... Rylie!!!!! and I am back.... I have been away on an adventure.. spending some time training at the prison, but today, when I went back to NEADS, I was surprised to see my sister, Hope and my MOM!!!! Mom says I am going back to the farm tonite, and I am so happy to hear that news...
Hope seemed happy to see me too... but I think she is a bit sad.. because she won't be returning to the farm....
And I can tell that she had a good time there. I feel kind of sad for her, but I hear the humans talking and from what they say, Hope may have her very own "forever human" quite soon. That would be good, I think she is ready to love her own human. Mom said that she is a very wonderful girl and that she enjoyed having her.
but, before we can head home, it was off to work for us. It was a very hot day and when we went into the city, all the humans were looking for a cool spot. We went to the hospital first, where everyone could grab a bite to eat... I was just so happy to lay at Mom's feet and think of going back.....
The "green" in the hospital makes me think of the farm.....
And even while riding the elevator... I was thinking about Abbie, and the cats.. and other dogs... horses...guinea hens...chickens..... on and on!!!!!!
Here is Otis, working with his human, Linda.. and that's Hope, she got to go with us today and worked with Rick.....
After the hospital, we walked threw the park. It was very pretty, and there were a lot of people out on such a nice day.
Otis and I took a little break while the humans stop to chat with other interested people. I remember summer (sort of) from last year... but I can tell you, having a black coat on hot days.... not good!!!!
Then it was off to the train station. I remember the first time getting on a train, the space between the platform and the train seemed so large. I had to actually jump.. but today, it's just a step... and no big deal. I walked right on.....
It was nice and cool on the train, I wouldn't have mind staying there.. but Mom said this train won't get us home... so I said, let's get off!!!!!
by the end of the day, we were all pretty tired.... here's Hope and I..... more than likely this will be one of the last pictures of us together. It was nice to be able to see her again... Mom says that maybe we will meet at a graduation one day....










But for now... it's homeward bound... though just for a short time longer (I hear).... that's OK... I'm happy...




life of Rylie....

where have I been...

This is "Rylie's mom" posting for Rylie..... we haven't really disappeared... Rylie has been away. At our last check in... Rylie and her sister, Hope have swapped places.... Ry has gone into the prison program and Hope has been here on the farm.. taking a little break from her prison training....

It has been very fun having Hope here with us.... she is a great dog (as is Rylie).... and I think she has enjoyed her time here on the farm. As far as I know, when we go back for our next check in ..the gals will be swapped again.. and Rylie will be back with us until she is turned back in for good...

so, to any of our readers.. if you have been wondering... that's what we have been up to.......
