Rufus, the Dog of the Day
Name: Rufus
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male Breed: Yorkshire Terrier
Home: Bonita Springs, Florida, USA
 
   Rufus is what we call a "Porkshire Terrier" - he loves to eat and get so excited that his wagging tail almost knocks him over. Notoriously lazy and spoiled, he knows if he waits long enough and acts tired he will be carried up and down the stairs to prevent anymore "belly surfing" incidents. He spends the day lounging on one of his four dog beds or the back of the now crushed sofa pillows. Occasionally he will cool his belly on the tiles but likes soft, fluffy surfaces.

    He is quiet but will try to talk with little whimpers and will tilt his head to show he is actively listening. He lives with his best friend Zsa Zsa, a glamorous Pomapoo and is waiting to meet his new pal Scoiae a Neapolitan Mastiff puppy who, unbeknownst to him, will wreck his solitude. At least once a day his has something stuck on the end of his nose - I think he does it on purpose to be funny. But in return for the spoiling we give him, he spoils his momma with kisses.
