Protector. Sidekick. Genuine bitch.

association games begin, the name, Pronta, is immediately followed by the word,
"Ruff!" Pronta is of Italian-Canadian extraction, In Italian, the word "pronta"
means ready. In Canadian, it means, "always hungry, always ready for a nap". In
music circles, the word "pronta" doesn't really mean anything, but... Anyway.
Pronta's hobbies include rescuing people from drowning, rescuing other dogs from
tedium, and rescuing squirrels from a life without fear and anxiety. Eminently
comfortable with her sexuality, Pronta lives proudly and openly with her long-time
companion, Abbie, on an 8-acre compound known as Running Chicken Ranch. The couple
love humans and keep two as pets in addition to their chickens, that do indeed like
to run around.
