Rufus and Kelly on the Couch

Rufus curled up behind Kelly on the couch the other evening while she worked on a needlepoint gift for a favorite aunt.



Kelly unexpected propositioned him for a smooch, which took him aback.



However, after a moment of consideration he obliged her...

The Boys on the Bed

I was over at Kelly's house one chilly evening recently, we came into the bedroom to find Rufus and Lucky curled up on the dog bed together.



This looked so comfy that I decided to join them...

Rufus's First Birthday

Yesterday was Rufus's birthday, and we had some of his friends over to celebrate. Rufus got all dressed up for the occasion, and this inspired his best friend Luck to look festive as well.


Rufus made the rounds greeting his guests...




...before settling where Kelly could scratch his ears.


Later in the evening, he settled down to enjoy his gift while Lucky looked on enviously.


Finally, after the guests had gone and the wrapping paper had been cleaned up, he drifted off into a deep, satisfied asleep.

Puppy Love

Rufus has a crush on my girlfriend Kelly that is (almost) as strong as the one I have on her... These pictures are a measure of how much he trusts her. He would not let *me* hold him like this (or at least not without a lot of struggling and grumbling).

The Continued Adventures of Lucky and Rufus

A couple of evenings ago, Lucky and Rufus snuck onto the couch (where they know they are not allowed), and Rufus kept watch while Lucky caught a few zzzz's.




Rufus Meets Thruga

On a recent jaunt down our hallway at work, Rufus bumped into Thruga, a beautiful brindle American Pitbull puppy. She and Rufus hit it off immediately. Rufus was more interested in chewing on Thruga's toys than in playing with Thruga, but relented after it became clear that Thruga was more interested in chewing on Rufus...









Kelly and I Give Our Dogs a Little Lovin'

In a fit of affection for Lucky, Kelly pulled him onto the couch for a cuddle. I thought this a great idea and did the same with Rufus. Neither dog found this activity as fun as we did...

Rufus's New Best Friend

I 've been seeing a lot of Kelly of late, and this means that Rufus has been seeing a lot of Kelly's dog, Lucky (we think Lucky is an English Pointer mix). They hit it off immediately, and have gotten along famously ever since, to the point that they regularly share the sleeping matt at which ever house we are at.
