Colorado Rudy

When I was staying with a WorldWide Marriage Encounter Couple in Fort Collins, Colorado, I became an acquaintance of one wonderful dog named Rudy. The couple had told me to close my bedroom door when I went to sleep because Rudy would stop by for a late evening visit and I might awake to find him giving my face a thorough sniffing over.
I kept the door closed!
But, in the morning, when I went to the restroom to shave and shower, Rudy was waiting for me right outside of the restroom door!
Rudy and I managed a respectful detente through most of the morning. But once I got an arm's length away from the lady of the house, AND, Rudy, her proctector, was right there in one smooth Clark Kent to Superman move... no biting, but he barked loud enough to insure that I kept my distance...
Rudy is one loving, caring, and loyal animal. When I grow up, I would like to loving, caring, and loyal too.



Check out Rudy on the hunt in the couple's backyard...

I don't know. My dog barks at anyone getting near me and we consider him an ill-behaved dog. Not to mention annoying. I love him, but it's a bad habit.

The pictures are awesome, Joseph.

Stephanie: I chuckled thinking of Rudy's coming detecting during the night and giving my one big (ugh) sloopy kiss...
Strengths and weaknesses, huh?
