Amelie Richards
First year at boss
2006
Current Position:BOSS Dog
Hometown:Flagstaff, AZ (2nd Chance Shelter)
Status:Boulder, Utah
I CAME TO BOSS BECAUSE...
I first came to BOSS because I have to go everywhere Susan Richards goes. However, the people there smell very good and they're always leaving things in their shelters like bones and bits of brain tan. It's kind of a dog paradise.
I TEACH AT BOSS BECAUSE...
I teach at BOSS because I'm probably the best natural hunter we've got and, except for Bryan, not many can match my navigational skills. Unless, of course, a rabbit crosses my trail. Then all bets are off.
Interesting Trivia about Amelie:
- Amelie can free solo slickrock rated 5.7C and she will rappel if required.
- She enjoys cooling off in the desert by lying down in a water source.
- Amelie is decidedly paranoid about thunder. She once left a backpacking trip and hiked back home alone due to a severe storm (her response: "Those fools did not seem to think we were in any danger. I knew better.")
- Amelie can heel if she has to.
- Favorite animal: "I like Camren a lot, but I'll follow anyone that will take me hiking."
- Her favorite food is Elk scapula, but chicken poop or anything that smells old and raunchy is a very close second.
- She is a mutt, most likely Doberman/Heeler mix.
