I think the little guy would look better if he shaved. Also, pets aren’t gifts from God. They’re usually not gifts at all, unless the neighbor’s pet drops an unexpected litter. Then there’s gifting galore.
Would Joel have that kind of money?
Joe-Allen has it right: He could be of heavenly origin or just a man who was sent as a messenger (what angel really means) for God.
Channce - This is by no means a ridiculous story line. It doesn’t even compare to some of the more ridiculous. Compared to the Chef Mewourice story line this is ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’.
The doctor didn’t say operation, that’s what Rufus inferred from the $500 price tag. Most likely it’s IV fluids, antibiotics, monitoring, etc for several days.
$500 is fairly normal for treating a pet. 11 years ago Vasquez got sick. Diagnosis, fluids and cremation was $350. 5 years ago My Lady Jane got sick, diagnosis (probable liver disease or cancer), fluids, the final injection and cremation almost $400. So, if it’s 400+ to die at a vet’s, then $500 for treatment and a shot at life is a bargain.
Unlike some others on here, I feel like we’ve temporarily lost the “Gasoline Alley” comic when I have to tolerate another inane “Rufus” story. I can’t wait until this arc is over.

Does Rufus think he’s GOD or Santa Claus?

Can’t be Joel…he’s much too eloquent…maybe a long lost half-brother???

Don’t look a gift Santa in the mouth. Just say thank you for saving kitty’s life.

Looks to me like its Earl E. Bird (wearing a fake beard), back once again.

He must be Santa. Who else would be hanging out at a 24 hour Emergency Vet clinic at 3 AM?

Charming story. I wonder if we will ever know who it is.

Sure it’s Santa! He’s there to pick up one of the reindeer who wasn’t feeling so good.
