Ru, the Parish Office Pup!

Ru entered into the staff family  accidentally, just as staff member Christine became his owner accidentally.  Because of an accidental scheduling conflict, she needed to bring him into the office a few times when he was a mere 6.5 lb puppy... and who doesn't love a puppy? PUPPIES ARE ADORABLE and dog is man's best friend, even those with small-stature and big-attitude. Needless to say, the staff quickly got used to having him around. So much so that when Christine is not accompanied by him, the first question asked is, "Where is Ru?" 

Now he faithfully works part-time in the parish offices as watch-dog and play-mate. He keeps the staff safe, smiling, laughing and excercised, as he oh so craftily manipulates a chase around the dining room table. The first time you meet him, you will most likely receive a little no-teeth growl (that's the attitude previously referred to);  but if you keep coming around, he'll be your faithful friend and protector!
