How to Keep Ridgeback Hair Out of the Bed "Simply don't let them on your bed HA HA HA"
When making your bed use an elaborate system of layering and tucking to Ridgeback- Proof your bed on the off chance that your Ridgebacks would dare to defy you and sleep on your bed while you are gone from home.
Upon arriving home and chasing the dogs off your bed and from between your sheets get your handy-dandy Swiffer Hand Duster and use it to De Hair your sheets. This works remarkably well and Hubby wishes he had one for his side of the bed as well.
So after De Hairing the bed its sleep time. You and Hubby climb in bed your 4 full-grown Ridgebacks wait approximately 30 seconds before LIGHTLY jumping onto to the bed knowing that Hubby sleeps so soundly that he will never know they are there. 12 seconds after almost 400lbs is added to the bed it collapses hitting the floor waking hubby. Dogs remain sound asleep.
Hubby jumps out of bed, dogs then scatter fearing his wrath, hubby goes out in the backyard to find something to prop the bed up with. Ridgebacks go to help. Hubby comes back with 3 Cinder blocks and 4 Ridgebacks.
Hubby commences to push, and lift and shove the 1st Cinder Block under the frame of the bed not realizing Ridgebacks are standing on the bed looking down at him and Cheering him on. Hubby has a "Duh" moment then gives the "off" command. Ridgebacks off. Hubby turns around to grab 2nd Cinder Block, now RR's are pulling sheets from the bed. Hubby gives "Leave it" command. RR's Leave it. Hubby pushes, prods and maneuvers 2nd Block into place. Hubby sits down to rest for a couple of minutes. Grabs 3rd Block gives the "off" command again, then finally gets 3rd block into place.
We remake and De Hair the bed yet again with our handy-dandy Swiffer, search out pillows that are now in the backyard AKA the Serengeti. Go back and find NO sheets on the bed.
Hubby throws up hands in frustration and takes to the couch to sleep in peace dogless.
I throw a comforter over the bed and climb on top and sigh. Then realize I am 2 dogs short. Hit the bathroom then quietly walk out to living room to find Hubby sleeping on couch surrounded by 1 RR on top of legs and 1 RR on Ottoman next to his head snoring loudly.
I head back to my bed with the other 2 RR's to sleep the sleep of the dead dreaming of owning Stock in the Swiffer Co.

Most people would look at this picture and think "Oh no the poor puppy is squished" But I look at it and say "Yep a Ridgeback will sleep anywhere in any position".

Watch Ranger (a Kitani Puppy) playing with his rabbit. The rabbit comes to the sliding glass door everyday to get Ranger to come out and play with him. If you look closely you can see Ranger trying to give the stick to the rabbit. This points to the good temperament of Pumaridge Pups.
For Those of You Who Have Pets
The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door.
Dear Dogs and Cats: The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack.
Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn’t help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. However, dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years – canine/feline attendance is not required.
The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, and then go smell the other dog or cat’s behind. I cannot stress this enough.
