Rhodesian Ridgeback Rumble

“Who’s that!?” is one of the pups’ favorite phrases. I usually say it to let them know I’ve spotted Emily, or my brother or someone else we know. Eko and Penny immediately go “radar head” to find who I’m talking about and then sprint over to say hello. “Who’s that!?”
“Who’s that!?” is one of the pups’ favorite phrases. I usually say it to let them know I’ve spotted Emily, or my brother or someone else we know. Eko and Penny immediately go “radar head” to find who I’m talking about and then sprint over to say hello. “Who’s that!?” is almost exclusively used for people. Almost. A few pups make the VIP (or VID, I guess) list. At the top of that list is Tripp, a massive Rhodesian Ridgeback about Penny’s age, with a heart to match.

When Tripp rumbles into the beach, Eko and Penny both stop what they’re doing and zoom over to say hello

It’s pretty rare we find a park-pal whose play style matches up well with both Eko and Penny. Tripp fits that bill perfectly and it’s always a treat to watch these three romp together.

Things usually begin as a three-way standoff

Tripp gets the first laugh as Penny jumps on Eko’s head. But then…

“Whatchu laughin’ at, big boy!”

Penny conducts the symphony of mayhem as the pack takes off down the beach

The friends form a whipping, twelve-legged whirling dervish

Trip gamely wrestles with Eko

And happily lets Penny whisper sweet nothings into his ear as they stroll down the sand

I think this looks like the poster for a heist movie. Eko’s the leader of the operation, Tripp’s the muscle, and Penny is the crazy one in charge of explosives

Nothing beats a day at the beach with your best friends

There weren’t any roses or candle lit dinners, but this Valentine’s playdate was a huge success!

    That’s so great they have another Ridgeback friend to hang around with. What fun!

  2. Connie Taylor says:

    I love the picture of the three getting ready for the “heist”. Penny could be the actress Ann Margaret (she has red hair like Penny), Eko as Sylvester Stallone, and Tripp as John Travolta!! Now all you need to do is come up with a good plot line and catchy movie title, then watch out “Oscar” awards!!!

    Love seeing pups at play and those last two shots are brilliant, definitely a heist about to happen – look out the rest of the beach goers lol

  4. Jesse says:

    Great shots! Oshie also goes full radar when we say who’s that.

  5. KarenS says:

    Playing RR style. Only a hearty soul can watch without winching. I know we’ve scared others when our boys would engage in the roughhousing that this breed absolutely loves!

  6. Kismet says:

    There’s an old saying that I can’t remember that starts off with “birds of a feather”.

  7. Robin Zak says:

    great pictures! Love watching Ridgebacks play!

  8. Debbie Schmidt says:

    Eko and Penny are a true example of no two dogs are alike.  What a surprise for you when Penny came along.

  9. No! Penny in charge of the explosives!?? Bad idea!

  10. Tripp’s eyes are so golden. It is great that they have found each other to hang out with.

  11. “the crazy one in charge of explosives” I am DYING LAUGHING!

  12. dashlilly says:

    Fabulous post!!! Penny as the one in charge of explosives is Perfect! Great post. Dash and Lilly love to play with other doodles when we are at the park. It’s so funny how birds of a feather!!

  13. harrispen says:

    Your description of the “heist poster” is cracking me up!

  14. What fun – and their buddy Tripp just fits right in like it was MEANT TO BE!

  15. He’s so ginormous compared to them! *ear licks* Noodle

  16. Kathy Fahey says:

    I love your blog. As an RR owner, rescuer, I get my fix by reading your posts, as at this time I am without an RR. I love how you let the dogs “be”. You see them as they are, with a special understanding. What a great pack you make!

  17. John Myrcik says:

    Good Stuff. Tripps is a legend.

  18. Your pal Trip has incredible musculature! Looks like everyone had a great romp at the beach even if they’re planning some future caper. 😉

    If we could “like” individual pictures, this would get my enthusiastic LIKE!!: “I think this looks like the poster for a heist movie…, and Penny is the crazy one in charge of explosives” LOL
