Royale Ragtime Renegade aka "Gator"
Gator WAS a bit of a renegade dog.
Never one to back down from a fight in his younger years.
He was known for his intensity and passion for a good brawl.
Of course he never really got into it, I was always faster than he was.
He once took off across a field in persuit of a obvious squable.
My training voice kicked in and he returned quickly.
He has always loved people, and of course Gator is no longer that way today.
He is a reserved but enthusiastic gentleman today.
He has even accepted the puppy with unusual grace and flair.
One of the more famous stories about Gator was the pizza box story.
As families do we sometimes had left over pizza even with two teenage boys, and so we stored the left over box of pizza on the refrigerator.
On TOP of the refrigerator, got it?
As we come home from an outing there is Gator on top of the refrigerator enjoying what's left of our pizza.
Today he is a love and a joy to be around; as are most dogs.
He watches over our house with the ease and lesure typically afforded the retired.
Even if it's becasue he is a retired show dog, and not financially secure.
As you may have guessed Gator is another of one of Paula's Precious Pampered Poodle Puppies.
