It's Lexi, Bitch!

There’s an actual excuse for time between posts now! At the end of January, Mr. It’s Lexi, Bitch and I adopted a dog! His name is Rufus, he is some kind of bulldog/lab mix, he’s about 3 years old, AND HE IS ABSOLUTE AND UTTER PERFECTION. He is hilarious and so clumsy, it’s really unreal. Every single day he walks into something or trips walking up the stairs. Just this morning he was trying to stretch with front paws on the rug and back paws on the hardwood floor and his back paws slipped and he fell flat on his face. His turnaround time is about 0.00001 seconds, luckily, so we never feel too bad for laughing. He snores like you would NOT BELIEVE. And he is a tiny nugget and he is all mine!!

Here’s Rufus! (alternate names: Yellow Bastard, Mr. Ruffles, Butters, Shit Ears [due to a recent ear infection that has since cleared up], Rufey Tufey Pudding Pie, Ruf-a-luf, etc.)

These are the photos I first saw of him on Petfinder.com and fell instantly in love!

His name at the shelter was “Hermes” but when my sister thought I was saying “Herpes,” we quickly decided to change his name. I don’t need the neighbors to think I’m yelling STD names down the street.

We got his balls chopped off right quick, so when he first came home he had to wear a cone and seemed QUITE CONCERNED. Poor little deflated balloon now hanging betwixt his hind legs!

But he got comfortable very fast! Now he sleeps anywhere and everywhere in a tiny, tiny, tiny ball!

His other favorite sleeping position is the Smushy Face.

Rufus has hilarious teeth (it’s the bulldog in him), upon which his lip gets stuck constantly. Sometimes it’s just half, and he looks like Elvis. Other times it’s the whole thing. And he never, ever, ever realizes it!

He looooves the car and totally spaces out in the back. Look at his wee black patches on his dog-elbows! They feel like dinosaur skin and are so cute!

Mr. It’s Lexi, Bitch! took this VERY dignified portrait of the little fella on a trip they took to the desert. What a handsome chap!

He is a handful, but he is the sweetest, funniest little puppers that ever there was! Plus now I’m not the shortest thing in the house!

(good pictures by Lucas, of course, and grainy, shat pictures taken by me with my shat Blackberry)
