Jim and his partners Ben Emison and Milt Bradford own and operate Western Bloodstock, the nation&#8217;s top performance horse sale company.<\/p>\n<p>Ruby was given to the Wares as a gift by their neighbor Lindy Burch, after their\u00a0 border collie, Miss Lily, met an untimely death. Velvet Brown, now three, joined the Ware household as a puppy to keep Ruby company. But the Corgi&#8217;s sense of self-assurance soon led to a broader job description.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Velvet has turned out to be the boss of us all,&#8221; admitted Carolyn Ware, who was alarmed to learn that &#8216;Miss Brown&#8217; has a taste for diamonds. Having once loosened a setting in Carolyn&#8217;s favorite bracelet with her teeth, Velvet promptly swallowed the jewel.<\/p>\n<p>But chasing squirrels is Velvet Brown&#8217;s favorite pasttime. She works so hard at it, in fact, that some days she has to take a break and chill out in the pool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Velvet Brown shares her ranch home in Weatherford, Texas with Ruby, a red and white&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dogs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
