Xiana, Top Dog 1
Xiana Joy Rau will be the first to tell you that in the hierarchy of this corporation, she is Top Dog. At Dogtopia of Redmond, Xiana oversees the party games in the playrooms, chairs the snacks committee, and is basically in charge of pretty much everything around here so you might as well just go ahead and do what she says.
Xiana has no time for foolishness and strongly suggests that you get to the belly rubs pronto, sister. She is adamant that the name “Xiana” means “bow to me, plebian human, for I am thy superior in all ways” in Greek. (It doesn’t.) She is a master of the nosing-under-the-elbow-while-you’re-trying-to-work maneuver and enjoys typing with her face. She has decreed that she will unequivocally be doing precisely what she wants to, and should you wish to differ, she kindly proposes, with all the graciousness that she can muster, that you kiss her furry brown butt.
When the concept of “delusions of grandeur” was explained to Xiana, her takeaway was simply that she really liked this new word grandeur and subsequently declared herself the Queen of France. She considers herself a benevolent ruler with a laissez-faire leadership style.
Xeus, Top Dog 2
Xeus Ozymandias Rau is much too polite to disagree with his twin sister’s assessment that she is the boss of him. He is a highly intuitive and empathic fellow, and as Dogtopia of Redmond’s self-appointed host and caretaker of newcomers to our playrooms, he gallantly upholds his bestowed title of Guardian of Guests’ Feelings.
Wholly unaware of his current 130 pounds, Xeus is under the erroneous impression that he still inhabits his runt-of-the-litter puppy body, which was all of seven pounds when he and Xiana came to live with Lady and Mister. He and his therapist are working on self-awareness and comprehension of the laws of physics, but in the meantime, Xeus would very much like to sit in your lap.
Xeus’s favorite pastimes are smelling flowers, watching butterflies, digging in the backyard, looking quizzical when he gets yelled at for digging in the backyard, and lazily taking up the majority of the surface area of a king-sized bed. He truly enjoys children—as playmates, not as tasty snacks—and is indefatigably committed to his unyielding yet never less than gentlemanly efforts for permission to order a Singapore Sling.
