Beware of the large dog!

I recently promised someone I'd show a few pictures of my little furry friend, Rufus, my little mini fox terrier.

Rufus was born in December 2000 and looking at him now it is hard to believe he will be turning 10 this year as he is still quite small. 
The only signs of his old age is his little white strip of fur between his eyes is turning grey.

He was the runt of the litter and as you can seen by the picture below he was miniscule! 


That is a regular chicken wing he is carrying in his mouth! 
When we bought him home from the pet shop my hubby carried him in his shirt pocket...awwww!


Spencer, my little man, adores Rufus and up until only recently could not pronounce his name properly calling him ''Frisky"... how he gets Frisky from Rufus is beyond us but Rufus is now also known and Frisky and I actually find myself calling him Frisky most of the time! 

Do you have a furry friend?

So So cute! The runts always end up being a handful though don't they? I have loved may furry friends our current friend is Cinder Kitty. There is a picture on my blog (but its not very good) we all love her alot but...well Derek's love is a little overwhelming :)

He is soooo adorable!!! Almost the size of a chicken wing. =))) Thank you for sharing these great pictures! My monkey-dog is only 2.5 years old. I got her when I was still living in the city to keep me company. Now she's a country dog. And she loves stealing pancakes. =)

He is so cute. My kids beg for a dog and I am just not ready yet knowing that I will be the one who mostly takes care of him. But, seeing Rufy makes me want a little dog- especially if I can carry him around in my pocket!
