If Riley was a person, he would
be a laid back surfer dude. Riley was adopted from
PAWS Cat City in Seattle
in 2003. He is now 4 years old.Riley
had never lived with dogs before coming to Keymaster. The first thing Riley
had to learn is that even though Danes are huge, they are really big babies.
He was intimidated by PashN at first. Pash was desperate
to meet him, so she laid very still upside down
and slowly edged her face next to Riley. In that way, they achieved
their first nose to nose contact and they've been buddies ever since.
Riley is our new puppy socializer. Mr. B is
in his senior years and ready to hand off the job. We weren't sure how Riley would react to
puppies and were surprised when he climbed right in the box with them when
they were born to check them out! He has a special relationship with Envy,
these friends are often caught snuggling together.
Riley's pseudonym, Hern III is in honor of my late aunt who had two orange tabbies
also
named Hern.
