from Ransom: Violet is back for another visit!

Violet is back for another visit!

We get to keep Violet for the next two and a half weeks while our friend, Lisa, is in Mexico. Violet is 6 months old now. The vet says she is going to be a BIG German Shepherd. She certainly loves hanging out in the country with her "cousins" (our dogs, Rivendell, Shanachie, and Gloria)! Rivendell crossed paths with a skunk a couple of weeks ago and is just now beginning to air out...hopefully Violet will not meet up with the skunk while she is here!

Lisa has told Darcy that she will pay her $20 if Darcy can train Violet to COME on command by the time Lisa gets back from visiting Iran in Mexico. Darcy thinks that will be an easy twenty bucks to earn! (Lisa warned her, though, that Violet has to obey LISA on the command, too...not just Darcy!) Lisa took her pup to the vets just before bringing her over here and I guess her pup rumbled at the vet! She is definitely growing into her German Shepherdness. Glad she knows we are FRIENDS and not foes! (We've been promised one of her pups when Lisa breeds her (much to Grant's dismay)...Darcy and I will have to do a lot of fast talking to get any other puppies squeezed into this family!)

After an extraordinarily successful day of tracking, my spokesperson took this portrait of my sister and I.
I am the stunning one. My sister, Gabby is the lazy one that had to lay down because she was too tired to sit for this picture.
Did I mention that we are both in training to be Search and Rescue Dogs? My sister, Gabby, got me involved in it. She thought I needed to branch out into something more socially acceptable than Ninja assasinations...you know, give my image more balance...make me more of a Renaissance Dog!

and Gloria (a one ton Newfoundland mix that has perceptual difficulties...poor thing is scared of her own shadow and thinks she is a teacup poodle. She is forever trying to fit her horse sized body into the tiniest little places...or worse, trying to sit in the lap of the smallest Ninja).

Obviously, BOTH of my backyard side-kicks require extensive supervision. Sadly, I realize that often I am their only link to sanity. But, then, I always knew that with great power comes great responsibility...

I was born 6-15-08. I have four brothers and four sisters. My mother was a hot-blooded, iron-willed Hispanic beauty with a shiny new green card. My father was an undercover cop used to living on the edge.

My name is Ransom Lin Pachis. Most people just call me Ransom.

"Lin" is in honor of the three Chinese (not Japanese!) Ninjas who invited me to join them when I was a mere six weeks old.

"Pachis" is in honor of my rough and tumble Hispanic ancestry. (When I still lived with all my brothers and sisters, my parents called me Tortuga, while everyone else simply called me Black...but, seriously, I'm more of a pachis than a tortuga!)

Hah!...I bet you thought I was a GERMAN shepherd! Nope. My registration papers may list that, but, I happen to be a Mexican-Chinese Shepherd! Looks can be deceiving! Oh, and don't let my rugged name or fierce athleticism fool you either--I am quite definitely a female!
