Meet Rufus. He’s a good boy. He is a soulful boy. He is stubborn. He is loyal to his girlfriend Roxy (even though she really doesn’t care.) He howls and cries EVERY time Roxy walks by our house. He howls with fire engine sirens. He is obsessed with tennis balls. Did you say treat? (And can you tell where they are kept?) He will follow his dad to the ends of the earth, but will cuddle with his momma when requested. He really hates getting his photo taken and turns his head when I take out my cell phone camera. (Hence, tennis balls and treats.) He loves visiting grass, but he’s a city dog at heart as he couldn’t live without those daily visits to his neighbors (especially those who give him treats.)
