Meet Rufus

Ah, I love Saturdays! Really I love any day that I don't have to wake up with an alarm clock. This morning I woke up to slobbery kisses on my nose from a very cute young man. No, not the hubs. It was Rufus, the newest addition to our family (see picture). We got Rufus in April from the family across the street. They were trying to find a good home for him and he was campaigning to come live with us by crossing the street and sitting at my feet whenever I got home from work. I would get out of my car and he would trot over to me, tail wagging, and sit and look up at me expectantly, almost as if to say "when are you going let me come in?" We fell in love with Rufus the first time we saw him, but didn't know how our other dog, Lexi, who was accustomed to being an only child and queen of the castle, would react to a new addition. As it turns out, Lexi loves having a playmate (except when he wakes her in the morning, she is NOT a morning dog, see picture #2). Both Lexi and Rufus have such personality and they are so much fun that I really can't imagine not having them. They are an endless source of entertainment for us and there's nothing like coming home to their two happy faces, tails wagging as fast as possible. They can brighten even the crummiest day. And now they want their mama to stop typing and take them for a walk!
