Riley, Our Cover Dog

Name: Riley

Hometown: Sedona, Arizona

Age: 18 weeks

Favorite brand of kibble: Science Diet Puppy, but Mom makes me ground turkey with rice and pumpkin.

Favorite people food: Carrots and ground turkey with rice.

Favorite toy: I love them all, but the squishy squirrel is my favorite! And the rabbit. And the chicken.

Favorite outdoor activity: Hiking with Dad by the river!

Favorite indoor activity: Playing with toys and chasing my sister Leah around.

Favorite nap spot: I have a bed right next to Mom’s desk, and a bed in the bedroom, and a bed in Dad’s office, and a bed the basement, and a bed in the car. I like to nap in all of them!

Fitness regimen: RUNNING and chasing my tail until I fall asleep.

Describe your perfect canine pal: My sister, Leah, is perfect. She lets me bite her neck and chase her from one end of the house to the other.

When she gets tired, she jumps up on the couch where I can’t reach her.

Then I go play with my brother Tommy, who is much less patient with me, but will play for a bit.

Describe your perfect day: I get to sleep in the bed with Mom, Dad, and my sister and brother. I wake Mom up around 5am by licking her face.

I have breakfast, and we go hiking.

After a hike, I’m tired and take a nap.

I get to play and hang out with Dad during the day. After dinner, I get to take a hike to the river with Dad.

Home in time for playtime, and soon to bed.
