My family adopted Riley as an 8 week old puppy in the summer of 2005. We picked him out from his litter because he was playful and chewed on our bracelets. He is the sweetest nicest dog you will ever meet but annoyingly smart. He's mostly boarder collie with a little bit of corgi. Being boarder collie means he has TONS of energy and is smart enough to get bored. Natch. Riley is obsessed with moving water and playing with his tennis balls. When you're walking him he will literally just take off into the woods (you weren't playing ball with him on this walk) and you run after him screaming and then he comes trotting back to you, tennis ball in mouth (he has a sixth sense for tennis balls I guess). He's a big guy so it's fun to tackle him to try and get the ball back. Big dogs are the best!
Riley now lives on Orcas Island (the lucky bum) with my Grandmother and her husband Joe. Riley went to stay with them for a year when my parents lived in an apartment in DC for my dad's work for a year but then he just kind of stayed. I miss him but I know he's much happier up in the land of water and woods and it's exciting to visit him every time I see my grandmother. Aside from having the sweetest personality ever, he is always a very beautiful boy.

First day home
With his greatest love
He was too big to fit in my old dog Sinya's dog bed, so he chewed off the bottom and fit himself in this way.
