Rufus is limping around

I don't have photographic evidence to share, but it appears that Rufus tore a knee ligament while chasing a rabbit on Martha's Vineyard. He may need surgery.

If Rufus were a person, perhaps he would tell all his adoring fans across the world that he could use their support.

If you'd like to send Rufus a get-well card, his mailing address is Box 3000, PMB 3105, West Tisbury, MA 02575.

Thanks.

Rufus says goodbye (for now)

Saturday was the big day. Rufus was returned to his rightful owner, who has already whisked him away to Martha's Vineyard. Rufus wasn't too happy about our leaving him, but I'm sure he's adjusting. He was a good companion over the last 10 months. The house here in DC seems very quite and we're not quite sure what to do with our time without the food/medicine regimen, walks, and his demands to be petted.

Rufus sleeps in

Rufus is spending just a few more day with us before he goes on his annual summer vacation to Martha's Vineyard. (Lucky dog! We wish we could go with him, but we'll visit later this summer.) We've started renovations on our house, so Rufus has finally been allowed upstairs to keep him out of the way of the work and workers.

He's probably gotten a little spoiled.


But he does like snuggling into the down comforter sooo much.

Rufus celebrates Independence Day

Despite his time in London, Rufus is definitely an American dog.
