Handsome Ruger!  His mom sent me a few pictures, and a description, as usual.  She described a protector, her "Sheriff", a "relaxed but aware" presence, always ready to lie down.
But the pictures she sent had me laughing out loud.  He looked to me like he had a goofy side, and, despite the more dignified description, his mom was choosing that goofy side to hold his memory.

I give you, Ruger.

Tomorrow, we have another bichon, the housemate to Fluffy; Rosie!
