Clumsy

As Ridgebacks grow they go through a lot of changes both physically and mentally.
When Raimi was about 6 months old I was sure I had made a huge mistake in keeping him as a show dog. He was a disaster; he moved and looked like an intoxicated marionette for a lot of his puppyhood. Thankfully he outgrew that!




Leeloo has a little more dignity. I see her as a giraffe - nothing on the planet moves like a giraffe. Like a giraffe Leeloo seems to be made almost entirely of legs which gives her a similar type of movement. Long and graceful with lean and flat muscles ... she really doesn't move like a baby puppy at all.
She's still not as fast as Halo and Raimi tho, even with those long legs, but she tries to keep up as best she can - one day she'll be able to give Boy a run for his money.
