Meet Roo

Well we finally broke down and found a friend for Riker. Her name is Rissa. I actually have some sort of mental block on that so I call her Reeka. Whatever. She doesn't seem to care! Her former owners said she answer to Rissa Roo so sometimes we just call her Roo. She came to live with us last Sunday. She was very,very thin. I heard a story that she was depressed because she was "acting" mother for a litter of pups and the pups were sold. Poor girl! She is doing great and has gained some weight. She is super lovey and a really good girl. Once we got past the first few days where Riker tried to hump her all the time we were fine. Roo is spayed and we have decided to neuter Riker as well. Joe thinks its an insult but I vote for neuter. She runs out in the yard and comes back immediately when you call her. She is such a good dog! What is great about that is now Riker follows her so instead of dashing off to the neighbors he actually stays in the yard. A miracle!
As you can see Riker has been given an area on the floor and Reeka has made the sofa her home. It is a bad habit I will break soon. Hopefully.
