Rufus Tales

Background

I, like Snoopy, was born on a puppy farm. There were just two of us in the litter, my sister and me. I didn’t really get to know her very well; mostly, she and I just fought for nourishment and attention from Mother. A man named Billy (Y’daddy thinks he looks like someone out of Deliverance) gave us crunchy food and let us out of the cage to play outside each day.

One day Billy came and got me and put me down on a cold linoleum floor with some other puppies. That was the first time that I saw Y’mommy and Y’daddy, and I was so excited to see them that I just squatted right there and emitted a stream on that cold floor (a sign of things to come). Y’mommy picked me up and I snuggled right up next to her – she felt fine!! They didn’t take me that day but promised to be back and take me home with them.

About two weeks went by and one night I was taken from my cage where Sister and I were snuggled up together and did I get a rude awakening!! I experienced my first bath!! But it was worth it because the very next morning Y’mommy and Y’daddy returned to take me home! I was so glad to see them and to realize that I would have a home of my own.
