About Russell: When we first saw Russell, he was lounging luxuriously on his back at the DC Animal Shelter on New York Avenue. We fell in love and adopted him; we were told that he was four months old, and the veterinarian predicted he would be a small guy. He’s grown into a 15-pound one-year old, though, so maybe he was even younger than we thought! He’s been with us for almost a year now, and life is treating him just fine, especially when we manage to buy him the flavors of treats that he likes!
