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!
Ransom
(the One and Only
Mexican-Chinese shepherd!)
Blessed with the grace of a wolf and the wiles of a coyote, I relentlessly protect the three deceptively small, but fierce, Ninjas in my care.
The Oldest Ninja is a guest author on my blog!
Medium-sized Ninja
The Littlest Ninja
When not needed by the three Ninjas, I hang out at the backyard with
Rivendell (slightly psychotic border collie with a Napoleonic complex--mean as a snake if you cross the little varmit)
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...

Hello Ransom!
You are looking handsome, as usual. I am so happy for you to get a trip to Alaska to visit your sister and her family.
But who will take care of the Ninjas while you are away? Can you trust their parents to do it?
Kisses,
Stella
How exciting! I hope you have lots and lots of fun. :)
Most sled dogs aren't friendly. That's because they spend lives chained when they aren't hauling people around. Chaining makes dogs aggressive. It's also cruel. Chained dogs have been attacked by wolves, bears and other animals. Old and arthritic dogs suffer terrible pain in the blistering cold. Dogs are social animals and continuously chaining them is massive psychological cruelty. For more facts: http://www.helpsleddogs.org/remarks-abuseinkennels.htm#chaining

Great job protecting the little ninjas!

And it's so good you're doing your guard work. it's what shepherds do best!
