This is our puppy, Ruffus! He is a chocolate lab. He is now about 2 years old, we bought him shortly after our daughter was born. This picture is from when we first bought him, and he has grown a lot since. He is very well behaved and likes to help us with the animals, or so he tries. He loves running in the field, and always protects our daughter when she is outside. Once she was running towards the cows, and was about to crash into the nastiest one, Ruffus ran out and herded her back towards to house. He is our little hero. He is loved and cared for in our family, and when the night comes he sleeps at the end of our bed on his own personal dog bed. He has all of his shots and is as healthy as can be. He weighs approximatly 70 pounds, and has grown up past my knee. He is the greatest dog we could ask for!
