Rudy Holds Forth

Submitted by Pat Maines / Photographed by Damon West

Dachshunds tend to suffer for their shortness. I like to lift Rudy (mostly called Rudy-Tootie) to the chair at the drawing table to check out what is planned for the day. He then has to determine where he would like to place himself. He can have an imperious nature, but mostly just likes to be included. He rescued us in 2017.
