Rufus gets an office mate

Rufus and I recently were joined in our office at Amazon Web Services by Matt and his boy, Julius the Springer Spaniel.

Julius is a bit older and a bit smaller than Rufus, and the two of them tend to go at it non-stop. They seem able to spend hours at a time mouth jousting and paying "steal my toy".

Today, the four of us went down to the grassy doggy play area below The Fortress of Solitude for some fun time on this, one of the last summer days.

We were soon joined by Baron, the Belgian Shephard...

and by Rufus's old buddy, Homer

Homer quickly initiated a game of "chase me, catch me"...

Homer also took the opportunity to pick on the big dogs...

It's a bit awe inspiring to see how much Rufus and grown relative to Homer in only six months...
