Spiffy Land

Rusty

Rusty, an injured stray, came to live with me in November of 2000. The vet estimated his age at around seven to nine months old, but they always say that, so I really have no idea how old he is. He was also loaded with parasites and he behaved as though he'd been abused. He is essentially a cuddly sweetheart, but only after you've known him for a while. He adores the kitties and he's very protective of them. I think he may have been a cat in his last life.

Rusty is a multi-talented renaissance dog / eco-warrior. Like Spiffy, Rusty is employed full time in the "Imminent Gravity Failure" security industry. Fortunately, he loves what he does and he doesn't view it as "work." His concern for the environment has led him to part time employment in paper-recycling, turning bills, correspondence and junk mail into usable fertilizer in just a few hours. Rusty likes the simple life, communing with the birds and squirrels, lying on the sofa, digging holes in the back yard and wrestling with Spiffy. He also enjoys performing in regional theater and wearing hats. Here, Rusty, a method actor, prepares for his role in a local stage production of Harvey.
