For Sherry's birthday, Rusty's Uncle Mark gave us a pet portrait from Prints Charming. This is the photo we chose.
It was a rough week for Rusty. On Sunday he had his picture taken (it's probably been taken more times these few weeks than in all his previous life). He was left at home, alone several times during the week. On Friday, Sherry and I packed our bags and loaded our tandem on the van and drove to Cincinnati. We left Rusty in the capable hands of our beautiful niece, Ruth.
Ruth tells us that when she arrived she let Rusty out and he stood at the back door barking at her for a good while. Rusty eventually warmed up to Ruth and by the end of the weekend he was following her around. Rusty did show the world he was angry with us for abandoning him. He pooped in the house twice during the weekend. Rusty!
We are now back and don't have any trips planned in the next few months. But watch out Rusty, it's the groomers tomorrow.
