... rufus and i shared a few minutes in the backyard ... snow visible atop the mountains north of us, we enjoyed a late autumn afternoon ...
... first he chased mr. rabbit ...
... then he broke the speed of sound with a pine cone ...
... after which he ran in circles until finally, exhausted, he stopped, fell over, and gave me his "that's it, you lose" look ...
... with rufus the backyard is always great fun ...
... rufus, too, although he doesn't seem to have to worry about his fingers getting cold, he appreciates the season ...
