Riker poses

Meet my handsome boy Riker. Most all of the red mud washed out of his coat so I thought it was a good time to practice a little furry family photography.
Riker is a miniature Australian Shepherd.




He came from a wonderful breeder in California, Rocky Top Kennels. We named him after William Riker of the Starship Enterprise, Ring a bell?? ok Star Trek....Jean Luke Piccard's right hand man......number 1??? If you haven't connected the two by now you are either too young or didn't waste your time watching Star Trek like we did. When we picked him up from the airport he was such an airsick little puppy and Shaun scooped him up and said "HE has boldly gone were no (pup) has gone before". That cinched it, he was a Riker.
He is Shaun's pride and joy and is more human than dog. Wicked smart and a little bit of a diva, he is the keeper and the protector of our world.
Annie wouldn't hold still again, the giggles and playing started and I gave up on the furry family photos but we had a fun time. *wink*
Have an amazing weekend
