The photo will show you where my friend took Rufus and me to today. Fresh air! Firs and ferns and vine maples and tall cedar trees. Bring it on. Bring plenty of it. We found the tap house that is open in the park during the summer. Friend had a beer and we all shared too tasty and steaming hot garlicy cheesy bread. We ate at a picnic table, Rufus right there and you bet eager to join in on the snack. We had a hilarious moment on our walk. A lady and her small fluffy dog were also out and about. Rufus seemed to be behaving so I said something to the lady. She and her dog came nearer. I wanted Rufus to be super behaving so I had him sit. Fluffy dog immediately sat, too!! Lady said he never sat unless she had a treat in her hand. Then I told Rufus to lie down. He did so and boom- that quick fluffy dog laid down like a perfect angel. Every human stared then had a good belly laugh. Apparently Rufus is now a dog trainer.

@Ineeddentures Thanks. Do you know what a kelpie dog is? Somebody asked me today if Rufus was a kelpie because he is black and orange. I said the DNA test says he is pure Heeler not kelpie. Tomorrow morning I get up early to get a ride to the pool then home to make applesauce. Yum on warm applesauce.

Then again I suppose Rufus gives off the Alpha scent which would make other dogs back off or obey @sallypup

That would be funny. But dogs know who is alpha and who isn't. Fluffy dog could sense you would not beg her with a treat.
