ranger sprout

Lucky was the first dog in our family to become a B.A.R.K. Ranger. We adopted him from the Pasadena Humane Society in 2006 and he moved to Yosemite in 2016 at 10 years old. He LOVED the National Parks (Here's a picture of him at Olympic National Park) and explored wherever his nose took him. He was beloved for his spirit. Lucky passed away in 2023 at the ripe old age of 17, but his spirit lives on as the (unofficial) spokesmodel for pets in the park. We feel that living in Yosemite boosted not only his quality of life, but his lifespan as well. RIP Ranger Lucky.

Lap Panther joined the family from a litter of stray kittens that a friend rescued. He was originally thought to be a "runt" but apparently he was just a late bloomer. He outgrew the "runt" label quickly and has appointed himself "Supreme Leader" of the household. His energy level suggests that he is nuclear powered as it never seems to wane. Lap Panther lives for belly rubs and trying to get Sprout to play with him. He is five times Sprout's size, so she's understandably reluctant to go paw to paw with him. 

Queen Camille was part of a packaged deal when we bailed Charlie out of the pound. She can generally be found fused to her human. She is the very definition of the word "chill". Queen Camille takes her personal space very seriously. (Note: Queen Camille's "personal space" is wherever Queen Camille is.) We are all very fortunate to be allowed to live in Queen Camille's realm. All hail Queen Camille.

Crusty is best known as the Transportation and Food Services  Administrator for Team Sprout. He was fairly easy to train and seems eager to please his canine overlords. Crusty is often seen being walked by Sprout and Charlie to keep him healthy and enrich his life. If you see Crusty in the wild, he appreciates attention and will happily answer all questions.  

SpareHuman is the voice of reason for Team Sprout. She will sneak treats to Sprout and Charlie when Crusty is trying to "prove a point" by withholding treats due to dogs being dogs. She is aware of the hierarchy (dogs, then humans, then spiders, then cats) and acts as Attorney in Fact for all conflicts within Team Sprout. Spare Human does have a head, but prefers to stay out of the spotlight to keep focus on Ranger Sprout and Charlie from Maintenance. We appreciate that.
