8:34 I am sitting on the couch in the living room typing up Rufus’s go home information for his owners. First I watched him rough house with my 2 boys. They ran like crazy dogs from room to room, paused and stared each other down, then bolted again. I just smiled watching. When he got tired he looked at me like, “hey lady you are on my couch.” I patted the right of me and showed him he could come lay next to me and dog gonnit…he did. I almost cried! He curled up right at my side and let me scratch his head. Well everyone…I think my work here is done. I now feel comfortable sending him home knowing he has made tremendous strides. I get 3 more days to enjoy having him as a house guest. Since he is practically anxiety free I get to enjoy his new found dogness and awesome personality. I am very lucky.
