San Francisco to a
lavishnew (wink)house fifth-floorin flatLas nearVegas. SanRhody doesn't dig the heat here, but he loves having a whole Francisco'shouse to Telegraphrun Hill.around in.Why Rhody: We wanted a dog that would be smart, loyal, and handsome but not as neurotic and hyperkinetic as a border collie. People say Australian Shepherds are "border collies with an off switch."
Rhody Likes To: Run on the beach; chase flies; snooze in the window seat; sit in the driver's seat when we leave him in the car; bark at children (until they come up to him, then he thinks they're funny); receive tummy rubs; kiss us when we get up, when we're putting on our shoes, when we get into the car, when we're getting back to San Francisco after a drive, when we're upset... any excuse, basically. Lastly he enjoys interrupting conversations with his own vocalizations (like "rou-oww-oww-ooourr").
