S: Rufus, what are you training for right now?

R: Bark, bark, bark!  *cough*  *cough*  Sorry, about that.  I'm in deep training right now trying to drop some critical pounds in preparation for kicking some serious dog ass in the park.

S: Right, right.  That Pit seemed to be, uh, "frontin'" the other day...

R: Homie, don't try to talk street.  You sound like a jack ass.  Anyway, you're talking about "Francis."  He scraped the inside of my leg the other day and thinks he's a playah, but he ain't.

S: That's heavy.  How are you training?

R: Oh, yeah...  You're talking about the Rufus Program.  The Program is rock solid! The Program is sound!  See these muscles?  See them!?  Go ahead and squeeze!  That's pure muscle, baby!

S: OK, I'm feeling like I need an adult here...

R: Whatever...  Here's the program:

1. Maniacal Office Run
- Run around the office at breakneck speeds for no apparent reason.
Reps: 5/day

2. Prancing
- Take extra high steps to work those quads.  Shows everyone else who's the dog (man).  Also really important for those shorts endorsements.
Reps: All day

3. Garbage Can Stretch
- Stretch over a garbage can and put your head down as far as you can.  Burn, baby, burn!
Potential Bonus: Snackables!  Mmm...
Reps: 3/day

S: Impressive.  So I noticed some iPod ear phones.  Rufus, what's on your iPod?

R: It's called a dogPod.  Anywho, Survivor is of course on heavy rotation.  I'm also a big fan of Quiet Riot and some early Black Sabbath.  Oh, and Britney...  I'm *all* about Britney.

S: Great stuff!  So what about these rumors about you and Ms. Champion Eclipse Envy O Sportingfield?

R: Look...  We just had coffee.  That's it!  And in case you hear differently, I'm all man!  Not that you will, because all we had was coffee.

R: This has been great, but I'm late for a meeting with my agent.

S: Uh, right.  Thank you. Rufus.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My dad takes me to work with him sometimes.   We walk from our house to the train station and ride up to San Francisco.  There are lots of spots I like to sniff on the way.   One of my favorite spots to poop is at the courthouse lawn . . .especially when dad is in a rush.  At the station I have to get into my carrier because it smells like my treats and it's warm inside.  I am getting too big for that nowadays.  Now I prefer sitting in dad's lap whenever possible, it is much more comfortable and I get to lick the nice smelling ladies who come to introduce themselves to me.  Dad didn't want to let me do this because the man who collects tickets gives him a look.  The conductor said that only service dogs can ride on the train with humans but dad says I am like Prozac, so I am medically approved.  

When we ge to the city I get out of the bag and walk to work. Usually people ask me if I am a whippet, but I tell them I am straight Italian to the G.  Well, usually it's my dad who says that, he knows what's up.  

I get to go to South Park before work.  I usually have to run the pigeons outta my space (I swear one day I am gonna catch one), check the trees for recent news, and then  clock in.  

I spend time supervising everyone in the office, making sure that they don't let anything too tasty go to waste,and do what working dogs do.  And you may ask, how do I do all this and look so fabulous?

Well, daily naps (2-3 times daily recommended) can only do so much.  More about my workout routine in my next post.
