No Relief Here

You wouldn't believe the fierce competition that ensued between Riley and this Egyptian camel when Riley last toured the Pyramids. Riley was just minding his own business, taking care of his business on one of the 1.3 million limestone blocks, when the camel, with small dark man astride, confronted him. Apparently there is no peeing on the Pyramids allowed. Riley, caught with his pants down, was slightly embarrassed by the incident, and frightened because the strange animal seemed to have an enormous, disfiguring and maybe cancerous lump on its back. Shame, sympathy and fear are complicated emotions for a dog to have simultaneously.

Soggy Dog

Not one to brag, Riley once rescued three of his family members from perishing in the canal near Aunt Liz' house. It had been cold and windy that day, and Julie, Taylor and Coconut were strolling along the water when a herd of cows suddenly appeared out of nowhere. When Taylor realized she had stepped in a pile of cow sh**, she freaked and fell in the canal, taking Coconut, who was in her arms, with her. Then Julie jumped in for no known reason. The first photo was taken right before the incident. The second photo was taken by sheriff's deputies when Riley was brought in soaking wet for questioning. The police still do not buy the cow poop story, and this remains an open case.

Anxiously Awaiting

In anticipation of the upcoming premiere of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part One," Riley threw on his Potter-specks and began a long and strenuous recap of the films. He howled with excitement as Harry discovered his wizarding abilities, wagged his tail when Fred, George, and Ron pulled up to Harry's barred window with a flying car (easily his favorite part), and growled when Scabbers' true identity was uncovered as the evil and distressed Peter Pettigrew.

After the Quidditch World Cup, he broke for a bag of popcorn, returning to watch Harry triumph the demanding tasks of the Triwizard Tournament. As Voldemort rose back to life with his faithful Death Eaters right behind, Riley barked madly in worry of Harry's safety. He sadly whimpered through the deaths of Sirius and Dumbledore, then fell fast asleep, hoping to wake on the night of November 18th, just in time to delve into the next steps in Harry Potter's adventure.

Sleepy Dog

It is a little too early for Riley to get up, isn't it?

Don't Mess With Riley (OR Coconut):

It looks like a normal family photo op. But observe more closely...
