Pet Confessionals: My Name Is Rufus, and I Think I'm a Tiger

Rufus, stuffed tigers, pet confessionals

Oh, hello! My name is Rufus, and this is my posse. We like to hang out on this blue tuffet all day. Sometimes we play-fight on the carpet, but mostly we hold down the fort and look tough on our tuffet. I think we look like a pretty rough-and-tumble crew, don't you? I like to think of us as the "Gang of New York(ie)," even though we live in New Jersey.

What's that? We don't look alike, you say? They're fake tigers and I'm not?! That's preposterous! How dare you imply that I chill with a bunch of stuffed animals all day? Why, just last week, Mr. Tiger (he's the largest one on the right) and I were having a fake argument, and I clamped onto his neck for a long, long time, and he didn't even get hurt -- oh wait...maybe you're right. Well, then we will be the next Calvin and Hobbes, thank you very much. As Nest Lauren, with whom I share my house, likes to say, "Totally Rufus!"

-- Totally Rufus!
