  • I can't believe it - Rufus is 1 already!

    Rufus had his first birthday on Monday! I can't believe how fast the last 10 months has gone! It's still hard to believe how much he grew in such a short amount of time. At 8 weeks he was just about 15 lbs and now at 12 mths, he is about 33" and 130 lbs!

    I just wanted to thank everyone here who has answered the many stupid questions I have asked... unfortunately, I'm sure I'll come up with a few more in the future. I have found this website to be an invaluable resource for learning about the breed and crucial to keeping my sanity. Thanks so much to everyone!

    Just a few pics of my spoiled and lazy goofball.

    He STILL has no idea how big he is and thinks he can fit anywhere!

                  Hey Michele,

                  No filets, but he did get a vanilla ice cream cone!
                  He ate the whole thing in about 5 seconds.....you think dogs can get brain freeze?!

                      I know, my poor hubby was just trying to get a 10 minute nap in. Ruf circled the couch in indecision about 20 times before finally deciding, "ok, yep, sure, I can fit there"

                      I wish I had it on video... he got up so slowly and carefully so as not to wake up my hubby, even freezing for a for seconds with a "deer in headlights" look on his face when the couch creaked! When he finally settled in, he let out this huge sigh! I was hysterical! Even my hubby who was only pretending to be asleep was having trouble not breaking into hysterics!

                          Hey Michele,

                          Yeh, very rarely does a day go by that he doesn't make me laugh out loud at least once! I am SO sold on this breed....I'm ready for Dane #2....unfortunately my hubby isn't. I'll have to keep working on him.
