We’re celebrating Rufus as we lead up to our 9 year anniversary of meeting, but… we can’t properly honor Rufus without paying tribute to his personal pack: Emily & Lily. I do assert Rufus was a pretty great dachshund from the start and seasoned over the years, but the addition of Emily and Lily have made him an even better doxie (if that’s possible). Today’s featured photos are less about the matching dinosaur Halloween costumes they’re wearing, and more about their personalities. It’s these two young, unabashed, playful personalities that keep Rufus agile and humble. I do believe the three are really good for each other, and bring out the best in one another.
