\nWell, that was unexpected.
I adopted Rufus from a cattle dog rescue, so knew that was at least one piece of the puzzle. I worked out the Pibble (Pittie) piece later.
I did NOT see Husky coming. Though, he does remind me a lot of my last dog, Shira, who was an \"Alaskan Husky\" which is a fancy way of saying \"sled-pulling mutt.\"
So...who knows.
Anyway, here he is:

\"velociraptor and shoe fetishist\" is a wonderful phrase that brings up all sorts of mildly uncomfortable imagery...
I need to go back to crating Rufus, aka Sir Dingus McSplootyPants, but not because he destroys things (knock on wood...), because he snuggles so hard I'm having a hard time sleeping.
A trainer I'm talking to about his leash reactivity brought this up as a potential issue as it undermines the pecking order that *should have me as, forgive me, top dog.
