Everydoggy knows we Ridgebacks have the best sense of humor in the world.
Now days where ever I go people keep saying I’m “becoming a Man”
I was quite worried about that for a while. Don’t get me wrong I love my mom & dad, but I would much rather be a dog. They’re cool and when I was a puppy I thought they were gods, but I’m almost 5. That makes me almost as old as my dad. I know things.
We Ridgebacks are also very fast on our feet I even amaze myself how quickly I can come up with stuff.
When my dad was explaining to me what humans meant by “becoming a man”
7, Zilli & Nellie were out playing. So they didn’t hear the explanation.
Upon their return I told them ” They better sit. I have some terrible news.”
So terrible that if it was out in the open the world as we know it would come to an end.
I could only tell it once. So I will whisper it to 7 and he will whisper it to Nellie, then Nellie will whisper it to Zilli.
and I told them
… When we dogs turn 5 we actually become people. In fact that’s how our parents are our parents. They were dogs first 5 years of their lives and when they turned 5 they became people…
It was too funny. You should’ve been there.
They were so freaked out. I could barely keep myself from busting out laughing. -I had to think about the time I got attacked by bunch of fire ants and my lip was swollen like a hipo’s lip.
Anyways here I took their picture. Heh Heh Heeeeeee.
Here Terrified 7 sharing the secret with Nellie. See her face? She was going “What? What?”

Next Nellie is telling it to Zilli.
You can see Zilli is going in to her “happy place” and 7 can barely keep himself from running away

It was too funny.
But just like any great big brother (and host of course)
I quickly told them:
“No we are never going to be humans. We will always remain dogs.
Eternally loyal, always unconditionally loving, always present in the now, and connected to The Source.”
And they were happy.
Here you can See 7 Laughing out Loud and Nellie making her best people impression
