Riley

Riley, aka, Boyfren, was a member of The Golden Ratio, having joined the squad as a foster dog on March 5, 2019. Although Riley's health issues prevented GR Mom and Dad from formally adopting him, they announced on the June 12, 2019 edition of The Golden Ratio podcast that they were officially keeping him and everyone else should back off GR Mom's Boyfren. Finally, it was announced at the September 14 liveshow in Maryland that Boyfren was officially, officially adopted.

Riley was an honorary girl but the first male member of the Ratio. He had hobbit toes, shaggy hair, and crimped fur on his ears. Riley also had kidney disease and a damaged left eye, but these issues in no way detracted from his smiley perfection.

Although a happy, handsome dog, and very photogenic, Riley did not enjoy group photos and typically appeared quite grumpy in them. After posting such photos, GR Mom and followers often drew angry eyebrows on Riley for his adoring Twitter fanbase to enjoy. Riley and Jasmeen (The Finest Dog I've Ever Seen) bonded together in their snuggly needs for GR Mom's attention. Jasmine's life partner, Schmieg, asked Riley to take good care of Jasmine and GR Mom and Dad before she left for Schmieg Heaven, and Riley did a top notch excellent job.

Riley was a member of Team Roastie and the founding member of Team Thief.

On October 20, 2019, it was announced that Riley passed away. He is loved and missed by all.

Song: Riley, he is so smiley, the smiley boyfren Riley!
