Poor Rustico — the elderly dog next door. Our A.J. is a hyper-friendly, super playful pup and Rustico is a tired old girl. But sweet Rustico is so patient with A.J., she just quietly tolerates him and walks away when she can handle no more.

What a sweet old doggie… Rustico is the perfect name for such a pretty dog.
A.J. is adorable and I bet your kids just have so much fun with him.
Love the photo.
That is so sweet and patient of her. They are both loving dogs I can see.
What a patient doggie!
really cute furries!
How precious is that. We lost our old girl last April. Sure do miss her. She was a Black Lab & 17 yrs. old. Thanks for stopping by me and following. I’m doing the same.
LOL That’s funny. I love how dogs show expression.
I mean Shadow thats it chace is the bulldog
ooooo he looks like chance from homeward bound love it
Of course I feel like a dork putting my post title instead of my name & blog! Can you tell this is my first time to link up with WW? I’m at #263 *awkward* – next time promise!
Just so sweet!
This reminds me so much of the relationship between my dog and my parents’ dog. Both have been gone for years now, but they were just like these two!
…or maybe I am the only ones with kissing dogs…. lol
My dogs do that! No way did I think anyone else had pets like this. I have a Bloodhound and Chiahuahua and the Chiahuahau is always liking the BLoodhound.
I love how patient older dogs can be. My black lab is 8 and he tolerates my mom’s younger dog like you wouldn’t believe!
Ahhhhh….what a nippy little bugger!
Aw, what cute doggies!
i think that’s how our dog feels about my kids. LOL

What a sweet picture. Think of it as AJ keeping Rustico young.
Great shot! But… the caption really makes it perfect.
aww – reminds me of our dogs … sadly one of them is no longer with us 🙁
Perfect caption for this photo!
That’s not likely to happen (him going away that is). What an adorable picture.
They are so cute! If only the world worked that away!
If we could all get along as well:-)
Aww, that used to be our puppy, but now he’s eight and more likely to be the old soul in this picture 🙁 Goes so fast! Enjoy your sweet puppy 🙂
Reminds me of a Tired old Mother,lol.
My WW link for you
Isn’t it funny, sometimes I feel the same way about my toddler!
LOL, that looks just like my two dogs!
She looks like such a sweet dog!
That is too sweet! What a patient old pup!
Sweet Pic! I love animals!
So sweet.
He looks like a very nice (and tolerant) dog! 🙂
How sweet!
LOL – Mindy’s comment was funny! I wonder if our cat feels this way about Li’l Empress?

that photo is a metaphor for so many people in my life…
What a sweetheart! And what a good lesson to share!! It is sometimes SO hard to be patient with youthful enthusiasm!
Happy Wednesday!
Cute Picture.
Happy WW!
Awww! Now I miss our dog again! She’s at a kennel until we get our house fixed!!
Too cute.
So cute! I just love it when older dogs are so easy going with younger pups.
That is just too sweet. 😀
awww, ain’t that sweet. Nothing like a little lovin’ from a pal.
Awwww how cute! 🙂
that is adorable! I went with a pet theme too 🙂 Happy WW!
I love your overly playful pup and that golden retriever is just sooo patient and kind!
Cute!!
Awww – a very patient pup indeed! LOL – looks like you took the words right out of her mouth!
That is a great picture!
Cute photo.
Awww, don’t you just love Goldens? The sweetest dogs!
This is so cute.
LOL – that picture is too funny!
Happy Wednesday!
Poor sweet Rustico! cute picture!
Well first of all, both of the dogs are too dang on cute! Secondly, I can so relate to poor old Rustico. She reminds me of myself, being almost 40 with TWO energetic PRESCHOOL BOYS!
LOL aww that’s a sweet picture 🙂
Aww, that’s so sweet! 🙂
He’s so nice and tempermental that’s wonderful
What a sweet ol’ girl she is. 🙂
I had forgotten that you got a new puppy in December, too! I think I saw some mentions on Twitter, right about the same time we got our new puppy. Congrats on the addition to your family – I TOTALLY hear you on the “playful” part, our little girl is a riot!
Aww, cute doggies!!
How sweet is that. Old dogs are so precious.
Rustico is a very nice guy. Great picture!
What an adorable picture!
Poor Rustico!!!! A very patient old boy indeed..
