Yesterday was Rufus' ninth birthday. He celebrated the way the dogs celebrate all birthdays - by splitting a steak. He and Irma get their fair share of table scraps year-round, but what continues to astound me is the level of Rufus' excitement for his dry, everyday kibble.
Rufus jumps for joy at EVERY mealtime - breakfast and dinner every day. And not just a little excited prancing. Wild, full-strength leaps. I've wanted to blog about this for a while, but never have due many unsuccessful attempts at a mid-flight picture. But a couple weeks ago, I decided to videotape him jumping for dinner every night for a week. So for 5 days, when I got home from work, I pointed the video camera at the pantry where their food is and turned it on.
What follows is one week's worth of Rufus' anticipatory celebrations for the same kibble he's had every day for 9 years. You'll see; Allison and I aren't the only ones who celebrate food in this house.
If you can't see the full width of the video here, see it full size here.

And to think you almost stopped blogging...where would I get my nightly entertainment?
You should consider developing a "doggy no-slip booty" for the kids. Something to give them some traction on the floors.

Very funny. Happy birthday, Rufus.
