She's gorgeous.
Hats off to you for getting the harness on her. I should have started training mine while they were young. Last time I tried with one of them, it didn't go well.

Pitiful deflated puppy plucked from a blind rise on busy Hwy 191 near Chinle, AZ, October 04, 2022. He stumbled onto the road, dried mud in his fur and those hellish burrs stuck between his rough little footpads. I stopped traffic while my betrothed got him into the car (he couldn't run or put up much of a fight). We cleaned him up as best we could while he took a little hydration from some crushed ice and then he crashed hard as seen below:
This story does have a very happy ending, as now Chinle (rhymes with thinly) is a lean, long-legged, healthy boy who is enthusiastically shredding a cardboard box as I type this I'll try to get an updated photo, but he appears to be a New Zealand Heading Dog, and greatly resembles the dog in the pic at this Wikipedia entry. We now have two roadway rescues and consider them both to be great blessings from ______ (insert your preferred PTB here). My betrothed thinks that Chinle is some kind of angel dog who found us more than we found him.

You and your betrothed are as lucky as Chinle! I've considered all my rescue critters as gifts from the Universe. And I take 'em without question.

The rescue reminded me of this. "Maybe tomorrow," started playing in my head, coming out of the decades.
Lovely Mungo. I do love the chocolate Labrador.
I taut I taut I saw a pussy cat.
Apologies for the quality of the shot. The fishes are Blue Emperor tetras. They are as curious. "Hey, Ralph! Marvin! Check this out."

I lost my dear Indy just before Christmas and was having trouble finding a new companion, when, out of the blue, I heard about Benny and he has been with me for nearly a month. It was only by chance that a friend of a friend asked after me and was told that I was “dog-less” and very unhappy, and the friend knew of the local rescue who had Benny.
He’s was rescued from the Streets of Spain by a small private rescue here in Wiltshire. I saw him on the website but was told he had been rehomed. Unfortunately for him, but very fortunate for me, the silly woman returned him after a day! I had, a few years back, a little dog named Sweetie because of her sweet temperament and didn’t think I would ever find another dog like her, but Benny has a lovely temperament. He likes people and dogs and is such a good little boy. His favourite game is to chase his little blue tennis ball. I’ve taught him to sit and to shake a paw.
The first photo is when I brought him home from the rescue.
