 Take a walk with me!

 

Welcome

This is the web home of Buddy. My proud Dad set this up so he could show me off. He and mom searched on the internet for a couple of months before I found them. I was hiding at an animal shelter until the right people came along. The shelter told them i was two years old and i was a rescue dog, and i was part Chinese Crested and Terrier. I don't know for sure because i don't remember much. Mom and Dad are beginning to think i'm part "Yorkie". All i know is that now i have a good home where i'm loved.

That was my first memory of how my life began. I had a different name that I don’t remember now but the man kept saying, "c’mon buddy". So the woman said, "that’s his new name".

That first day they brought me home they wanted to take me for a walk around the neighborhood so I would get used to it. I had other ideas. I decided I would shake the collar off and explore for myself. I took off for the woods and disappeared into the trees. The man tried very hard to find me but I didn’t want to be found just then. I wanted to explore on my own. I went over logs, around the trees and down the path. If anybody got close I took off again.

The man was upset, but I didn’t know that because I was having fun. He told his grandson what happened and his grandson decided he was going to find me no matter where I went.

I saw him coming and jumped into a lake that was there and didn’t realize how cold the water was. When he saw me jump into the lake he did too. I turned around and swam into his arms and I was saved.

The man was so happy to see me he cried and hugged me tight. I don’t know why he was so worried I only wanted to explore. I’m the type of dog that likes to explore.

To this day I still think his grandson threw me into the lake and that’s why I bark at him everytime I see him.

There's grandkids to play with and i get to go on lots of walks. They used to take me to work with them too, but now they say i have to stay home alone with that dumb cat. I really don't like to be alone, but they're with me most of the time anyway and they try to take me whenever they can. I love being in the car.

I didn't play very much at first, but my new mom didn't give up on me so now i play with her and sometimes with dad too. I'm still learning to walk on the leash. (Boy That's tough). I get all excited when i see them get their shoes on and i jump around and bark and drive them crazy. I like people, but i'm not to sure about other dogs. Mostly i get along with them. I sometimes try to be the boss. But i do have a cat friend and her name is Bunny.

I like to sit in laps no matter where i am. That's how i met my new dad. When he came into the shelter and sat down i was right there before anyone else. I sit on everybodies lap. As long as your a nice person i'm your friend. My dad says he's glad i'm not a big dog. I only weight, oh i don't know, maybe 10 pounds. I like my treats too. I don't even have to beg for them. All i have to do is look "cute". People are so easy. Just give them that "sad puppy" look. Try it you'll see. Sometimes i give them my paw just to make them happy. I still pretend to not know what they mean by "sit". Doesn't matter, i still get the treat.

I love the winter. Especially if it snows. Its fun to jump in and out of the snow drifts. Just like in the fall, I just have to jump into the piles of leaves. Of course when I do the leaves move and I think there’s something hiding under them. And when I walk through the snow I kick up little snowballs and I have to chase them.

You know what bothers me is that lots of people don't realize what goes on in puppy mills. Sometimes mom and dad dogs are beaten, not fed or watered. It would put a tear in your eye if you could see the conditions we were forced to live in. I heard my dad say you could look on this thing called "innernet" or something like that, and you would see for yourself. I know i was there. I saw dogs that had only one eye or missing or broken legs. Some were even diseased. Some of my friends didn't survive. Please don't get your new friend from one one them. There's lots of us homeless dogs and cats in the animal shelters. Some of my friends there are getting on in years and they could really use a kind voice, a tender hand and a warm heart.

Does anyone really pay attention to the people running for office? I haven't heard one them mention anything about a dogbone in every house. Or even a tree for us to water. Us dogs have rights too. We want dog sitting services for working families. We don't want to be left alone in the house with the family cats. We want doggie seats for the new cars and of course we want to ride planes, trains up front in a seat with our people. No more baggage cars for us. Senior dogs need special treatment too. How about medical coverage for all older dogs (okay cats too). We don't get a "help i've fallen" button to wear. I say equal rights for us four footed friends of the human family. I think i would like a "Jazzy". Can you see me just cruisin on one?

You can sign my guest book above and maybe offer some "kind" suggestions. I look forward to creating a dialog with Buddy and friends. It might be fun to exchange stories and ideas.
