About Me

My name is Rufus. I am a pitbull/chow mix. Don't let the breeds scare you! I am a very mellow pup. Why generations of my ancestors howl in shame every time I roll on my back for my belly to get a nice rub. I live in Elizabethtown with my family. I would tell you their names but my liter mates have threatened to run away from home if I do. I do have a very nice yard to run in.Until recently my best friend in the world was Teddy. I am still trying to recover from his death. He and I had escaped from the yard when we discovered that our electrical fence wasn’t working and a car hit him. He was a fine, regal papillion, which means butterfly in French. Teddy was kind of like a French person, all prissy and what not. While I am sad about Teddy he was over 15 years old, which is like being over 90 in people years. Check out my picture of him.
