Rudy, Rudy, Rudy! What a little (and you were VERY little!) sweetie you are! I just love the before and after pics of you, and the tube of lipstick, I can't believe you were that small
It sounds as if you've grown into a wonderful BIG boy. I would just love to go swimming with you in your pool, I bet it cools you down on those hot days in California.
Congrats on being Dog of the Day, you sweetie you!
