Joseph and Rudy

At Christmas, Joseph barely knew that Rudy existed. Now it's a whole new ballgame. Joseph loves Rudy and the affection is eagerly returned. Joseph enjoys twisting Rudy's ear, smiling at him and heartily guffawing at his antics. Rudy shows his devotion by guarding Joseph's play area and licking him. (Rudy, in case you were wondering, is Aunt Megan's dog. They are in town for Megan & Chris's wedding.)
