Hobbies & Pets
Rhodesian Ridgeback named Ulu
Pulik named Mop the Eighth
Miniature dachsund named Hans. Hans came from Hamburg, and came as a rescue from a research lab that was breeding animals to be used in archological research. Trained in Georgian for commands. They're trained to defend her and the team. Hans wears a camera rig to explore. He thinks he's the size of Ulu, but is a complete chickenshit if stuff goes down -- he hides behind Ulu and Mop. All dogs are chipped. The dogs have traveled on digs for the past four years and are trained to be able to rappel. Rudyard, named for Rudyard Kipling, is an Ackie lizard, harness and poop-mat trained, who does the same sort of work in stone environments that the dachsund can use.
