Once upon a time Rusty appeared to have lost a dew claw but there was a little nub left that grew back.

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You’re off to Great Places!
You’re off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You’re on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.

Oh! The Places You’ll Go!
