Rufus being social...
No, he does not have a Facebook account. No Instagram. The only tweet he cares about would be coming from any nearby bird.
He and I were on our evening outing; he generally doesn't walk far, but he enjoys being outside. A lady with a large Golden walked nearby on the street (we were on the grass) and said, "I have two cats - I tried to get them to walk on a leash, but they won't do it."
I said, "This boy does good, but we move at his pace, which means we don't cover a lot of ground."
She asked, "Is he OK around dogs?"
"Yeah, he seems to be fine, as long as they aren't aggressive."
She said, "This one isn't - we have two cats, too - he likes cats."
We let them get nose-to-nose... everybody seemed quite happy with that. Then, Rufus tucked up against the dog's chest and gave him a rub. They both liked that. I visited with the lady a while, mostly about cats and leashes. Her Golden came over to me for some rubs... Rufus wasn't sure about that, but he didn't make a big fuss.
A good experience. And maybe because the lady was watching, Rufus walked back towards our motorhome like a champ.
;-)
No, I didn't have a camera or a phone with me.
