We
adopted Buddy approximately 4 months ago and he has become a very
important part of our family. Everyone loves him dearly (except our
two cats, of course). Our granddaughter who is 8 years old loves him
unconditionally. When she is here, he follows her everywhere.
He is
walked twice a day, in the morning by me and in the evening by my
husband. With the kind of summer we have had with so much rain, some
days it is tricky but we still make sure he gets his walks regardless
of weather. Like this morning for example, halfway through our walk
the skies opened up and we got soaking wet. We didn't mind and just
kept going. Some people going to work gave us strange looks.
Buddy
is almost 8 months old and he is growing every day - he is already 16
pounds.
As I
said previously, we all love Buddy and he has fit into our family
wonderfully.
Update October '09 ...
As you
can see from the attached picture, Buddy is quite comfortable in his
new home. He gets two walks a day and he enjoys them immensely.
He especially likes to chase squirrels – although he is not very good
at catching them.
We try to socialize him with other dogs that we meet in the park. He
has some favourite friends that he likes to play with – 'Adolph' the
poodle is one of them.
We would like to thank the society for their help in the adoption
process. Buddy is an excellent addition to our family.
He weighs about twenty pounds now and we don't think he is fully
grown.
Our two cats are not very fond of Buddy but we are still hopeful that
this will change.
Sincerely,
Janice
