Thank you, can't wait to introduce him to you!

[@justwannasay5454]

He is adorable. My mother, as a child, had a little dog named Bullet because he would run around very fast.

[@MaxMiniTV]

That's a GREAT name! Thanks for watching!

[@sallys2423]

Yay! a new doggie friend! I'm not a dog person, but that doesn't even matter. Such a sweet little bubby.

[@MaxMiniTV]

Well thank you for indulging my doggy happiness even thought you're not a dog person! I really appreciate it!

[@Seannery]

Rider seems like such a sweetie, and so playful. Looks like his tail stays up and wags a lot just like our Chester’s does. So happy you found each other, with a little help from Captain!

[@MaxMiniTV]

His tail stays up but it is very, very curly. Like a piglet.

[@KatandDogsonWheels]

Yea! Rider has made his YT debut. You were his Mama immediately, I witnessed it and he's not about to let you go. He's a personality plus and too cute! He was born to be a nomad dog. 🐾💕🐾

[@MaxMiniTV]

Yes, he definitely decided we were meant to be together even before I did. Nomad through and through!

[@betsy5749]

Oh, Mary, he's great! Seems perfect for you. Great story of your first meeting him. I'm so happy for you.

Rider is precious. He reminds me of Bitzy with no hair. He was a smart lil dog to listen to Captain’s direction to kiss you on the nose ❤

Mary - i have been so looking forward to meeting your new little pup. he is perfect for you and the road. i believe your precious captain decided to leave you while in arizona so that you could find rider. you see, when our little fur babies cross that rainbow bridge they leave the door open in our hearts to welcome the next fur baby. congratulations and god bless you and rider !

I totally get it Mary. I always rescue another dog right away. It's true, you have a lot of love to share with a homeless dog. Don't worry, be happy. Captain is so very happy for you.

[@MaxMiniTV]

I think he approves! It would have been fun to have them both together but Captain wasn't really a sharing kind of guy when it came to Mama's attention. I do feel like, if he didn't send Rider, he at least coached him how to get the gig!

[@donnamcardle8928]

I always get another dog right away

What a handsome dog! Rider has chosen his person. He's yours. ❤ We have always had dogs and can't bear not having a waggy tail. So many need a safe home, so how can we not.

Yes! There are SO MANY it's mind boggling. I wish I could give them all a home!

I do the same when one fur baby passes i give another a home which in turn gives an empty bed in the shelter for another baby while waiting for its furever home.

That depends what you mean by "pass." Captain would say he failed because he refuses to protect me from those evil things. For me, I'm ust happy they don't get the slightest rise of him!

[@Fairies00]

Yes I love animals. I live in AZ., and didn’t know that law about non chipped , only three days. Good to know. Mine are chipped. It is terrible here with abandoned and lost animals. There is a wonderful person that goes out everyday looking for peoples missing animals. What’s sad is he returns them, but many don’t give him $. His friend takes in troubled animals and rehabilitates and gives him home. Two amazing men. I cried when you went to see Rider and adopted him; it was meant to be. ❤ OH and I noticed too the difference in your face. Animals are good medicine. I love watching Brent Atwater on KZbin. Check her out.

I'm still really missing Captain, but Rider has been fantastic medicine! Thanks for the suggestion, I will check her out.
