I think a good dog is better than thorazine....

I had a post written out, all the way down to fifteen lines of type, hit the wrong key combination - and it VANISHED

So I did the natural thing, I cussed, and SLAMMED the edge of the desk, and the next thing I saw was a black nose and muzzle peeking at me over the corner of my chair...

Rufuss is my four legged sanity supply, he keeps my head together when I can't do it alone. It is true that he chews stuff up that I don't want him to, and he knocks things over just wandering around - but he makes the world nicer just by being IN IT.

I LOVE RUFUSS puppy....

Something about him makes him endlessly forgiveable

Yup. Come home stressed, open the door and here comes two 70lbs mutts charging at me. I think it's that they are always happy to see you, and always need you.

Whoever said you can't buy love or happiness never had a dog! I come home from a bad day at work and have 2 Chihuahuas and 1 Lab meet me at the door and say "hello, it will be ok"!

Rufuss is one of the funniest mutts I ever had.

He reminds me of myself. It's crazy but there it is

I know the feeling I come home to 3 boxers one being Jake my avatar who meets me at my truck door and jumps up into my arms (he weighs about 80 lbs. now) at the same time the 2 girls are running around my feet. If for some reason I come home in a bad mood the greeting at the truck changes it all.
