Bruno Michael Emerson

Bruno was acquired on July 1, 2004. Andy decided that he wanted Rusty's help in raising a new dog while Rusty was still young enough to have the energy, so he found Bruno in the Tribune's want ads at Columbia Veterinary Hospital.


Bruno likes the cool tile floor as much as Rusty likes the warm carpeted floor.

We "previewed" Bruno after lunch, then went back to Columbia Veterinary Hospital after work with Rusty in another car. We took them out to Cosmo Park to play together, and they did okay, so we brought Bruno home. (Note: his name wasn't actually decided at that point. He went by "Bubba" for the first year and a half of his life.) Patch didn't seem to notice that we hadn't always had two dogs. Tomás supervised when Bruno inspected the house. Nisa freaked out and stalked the new arrival with arched back and puffed tail. She took a couple of days to accept Bruno as another of her adoring subjects. Lulu was frightened of Bruno at first, but she seems to be accepting him slightly better than Rusty as of this writing (7/5/04). Happy Fourth of July, y'all!


Bruno likes the cool leather couch. Or possibly the notion that he's hard to see when he's on it. Who knows?
