Red Shed Racing

If you have been keeping up with our Dog Diaries you will recall that when Hemingway passed away I was expecting some changes in our doggie dynamics to occur.  I will call them Yin and Yang as the are opposing forces working together towards a single leadership goal.

CatchMe - Yin

He is a constant leader of our group.  He is ON 100 percent of the time in his role of comanding order and rank.  He keeps a close watch over the unstable members and keeps them in line.  His tactic is fierce yet gentle and he usually growls first - barks second and gently bites third!  He has taken over Hemingway's role in keeping the other dogs out of the pantry and tells on anyone whos is trying to steal food.  He is very serious about his work but Paul and I often burst out laughing when he shows his teeth becuase they are so ugly (Crooked and Broken - from before we knew him!)

Skittles - Yang

Skittles is the most  Laissez-faire leader I have ever met.  She is laid back yet has her limits.  She steps in with just enough of a production to make her point before retreating back to her slumber.  She also supports the group by keeping things fair and orderly among the ranks.  She has stepped in and commanded order in the chaos inside my house - Where Hemingway left off!  Whenever the wrestling gets too rowdy she jumps in and stands over the crowd and gives a low growl.  The dogs disperse and she goes back to her position on my bed. 

The two work well together and have taken on Hemingway's jobs with style and pride!  They are opposing forces only in their style and manner of authority.  They have equal respect for eachother - however they each wish the bed belonged solely to them!
