Rilley is 5 months old, and is named after a character from Confederacy of Dunces. He is not a dunce (and the Rilley from the book is not, in fact, one of the dunces for which the book is named). What he is is a mix of a wide variety of herd-ivorous caninity: Australian shepherd, German shepherd, and probably at least a couple other herding dogs as well. And if his current size and floofy feet are anything to go on, he’s gonna be a biggun!
His fur looks wiry and scruffy. It is not. It is suuuuuuper soft.
