The continued adventures of Rufus and Julius

Rufus and Julius continue to enjoy sharing an office. Rufus has been quick to establish who is boss...

They both wait anxiously for Matt and I to return from meetings

Sometimes while we are away, the undertake projects together, like the time they took apart Rufus's sleeping matt to see what was inside. They were quite proud of their handiwork...

Rufus even went to sleep over at Julius's place for the weekend. They had a great time, and even went down to Gasworks Park here in Seattle to have their picture taken together.

Rufus's First Dog Show


Last weekend, Rufus and I attended the Wenatchee Dog Show. We got a chance to see Betsy Metcalf, Rufus's breeder, show Sundew, Rufus's sister.

We also got to see some other folks we know (both human and canine) as well...

Afterwards, we attended a gathering of other RR owners at Betsy's farm. Rufus got a chance to play with Mojo, Rufus's brother.

He also took time to frolic with Sundew a bit...

(I'm not exactly sure what he is doing in that last picture...)

With three of the four littermates in attendance (Razi and Larry Serat could not make it), every one had a bangup time...

This resulted in pups that were both thirsty...

and tired...

Chrissy, Mojo's owner, tried to get him interested in the agility course. However, Mojo just thought this was silly - why go through obstacles instead of around them?
