We are often asked about the “order” in the house. Queen Natasha the Evil is clearly the alpha female and ruler of the roost, but most people are stunned to find out that Rusty the Rooster is the alpha male. Not that that really matters, since Queen Natasha lets him know what few decisions he is allowed to make, but the boys do pay attention to him. So any guess who the Omega dog is?
When we came back from our hike through the ranch, the dogs were all lining up for water from their bucket (Cheoah, for the record, went straight into her crate, so she is not shown in these pictures). We give you the order:
Natasha and Rusty start drinking, while Kodiak waits "patiently."
Some pup just waits.
Kodiak and Kiska wait their turn
Some other pup just waits.
Come on, guys, hurry up.
Waiting.
Finally - Kodiak and Kiska get their turn.
Sigh.
Would Natasha and Rusty want more water?
Bummer
Yep, Natasha is going for more water.
Finally.
The song leader of the pack popped in my head. My sister Starr is the alpha of our pack.
Aww, Quannik, I’d have given you your own bowl! Poor guy!
Woooos Pack! While I bow to the queen( from one to another), I think woo need more water bowls! Mine is always empty, the only time I bark is at an empty water pail!

Kody & Nia
Awww poor Qannik!! Guess we know who the most patient pupper is.
Don’t worry, Qannik, waiting builds character …
Admirable patience!
Patience is a virture. right Snowflake?
Wow. Um. That’s a lot of doggies. Poor guy – but I guess SOMEONE has to be at the end of the line. Besides, as the saying goes, “If you ain’t first, you’re last.” Or something….

maybe Qannik just likes the taste of water flavored by the rest of the Herd:) Bet you know who gets to drink first here.
Woos – Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
Poor Qannik. It’s tough being bottom of the pile.
I think that a lot of people are surprised to hear that Baily is the alpha at our house
He needs his own bucket! Poor guy

Saving the best for last, right?
Hi Qannik. The internet wouldn’t let me leave a comment yesterday, so I just waited. I’m good at waiting. I think you and I have a lot in common.
Love,
Ammy
Awww … poor “some other pup”! I think he deserves a cookie just for that!!! Of course, in secret
How interesting! As someone with an “only dog” household, it is always fascinating to read about pack dynamics!
