Rufus is recovering

He doesn't look too happy, does he, with a bucket on his head and the shaved leg? But the surgery appears to have been a success. Sadly, Rufus gets better medical care than millions of American people.

Politics aside, we wish Rufus the very best during his recovery period. Rufus' friends in DC should take note that he returns in less than one week. Hopefully he won't mind the dust and noise of construction inside the house.

Rufus is reunited with Seth

We're on vacation on Martha's Vineyard, with Rufus! We wondered if he would be indifferent to us, now that he has Fran back and is back on his home turf. No worries - Rufus wiggled and whined and snuggled up and bothered us for petting, and was quite happy to join Seth for an afternoon nap.




Does this look at all familiar?

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.

Rufus surfs the Internet

Rufus surfs the interwebs with Seth every night. He likes to shop online for Kobe and Wagyu beef. He checks his frequent flier miles on Virgin Atlantic. And he checks nephew Zachary's blog for updates on Zachary, Oscar and Daisy.
