Meet Riley

We've taken the plunge.

Our new little wire-haired fox terrier was born on Dec 12 on a farm in Baldwin, Iowa. We met her parents and her seven brothers and sisters when we picked her up.

It took us three days to find a name that fit her - finally decided that it should be Riley (Riley Riddle, wily Riley, life of Riley, Riley rascal . . .) Since then we agree that Yo-Yo would be another good choice - she barely touches down when she plays hard, bouncing up and down. So on her paperwork she will be Yo-Yo Riley but we'll call her Riley.

She's very self-assured for 3-1/2 lbs and is sweet most all of the time. In many ways she reminds us of Max, but seems to be a little less independent. She likes sleeping in our laps, playing on the kitchen floor and going for short walks with Guy outside.

And she can hardly wait to meet everyone.
