Buddy is the new "child" in the family and when I was home at Christmas, we had lots of fun together. I love her lots and lots and LOTS! So, let me introduce you to Buddy, one of the sweetest (and most spoiled!) dogs ever! :)
Here's Buddy saying "Hi!" :)
She's just chilling out in this picture. Isn't she pretty?
I just love this picture! If you didn't think she was pretty in the previous picture, I sure hope that you think so now!! :)
Honestly, if you don't believe that she's probably quite spoiled, take a look at her deluxe apartment. Now, you may think that this isn't so special, but it's her HOUSE apartment. She has another apartment in the garage...and in dad's room, too. Okay, the one in his room is just a bed...but it's a warm, fancy bed! :) (I think she was slightly annoyed in this picture that I was disturbing her "resting" time. :)
Yes, Buddy is quite a special dog. Let me show you a few different sides of her personality so that you can really see just what she likes to do throughout the day:
Yes, Buddy is quite a special dog. Let me show you a few different sides of her personality so that you can really see just what she likes to do throughout the day:
She likes to just hang out with you...
She really likes to take naps with you...
Sometimes she just likes to come over and say, "Hi." :) ...
And she loves to give hugs, too! Okay, maybe I forced her into this one...at least that's what her body language seems to be telling us, huh? ...
She also likes to sit around and just look pretty. In this photo, she was saying, "I'm pretty! Oh, so pretty!!" :)
Yeah, Buddy's a good dog with a multi-faceted personality. Oh, one thing I forgot to mention...she LOVES to play ball or catch frisbee or play tug of war. See...
The toy that she was playing tug of war with was a special one that I purchased for her for Christmas. Not only could it be used for tug of war, but the end of it was tough as nails, so she could chew, chew, chew and not ruin it. AND...it had a squeaker in the middle section of it and that drove her bonkers!! :) I'll post a video later on of her playing with it. For now, though, here she is, opening the present...
I had squeaked the present for her, so she was doing everything she could to work through the paper and dig out that toy! It was hilarious!! :)
And she got it! You can tell that she was having a great time with it! :)
But that wasn't her ONLY christmas present...no, sirree. Santie Claus brought her a GINORMOUS bone to chew on!!! Here she is, scoping it out...

Buddy is a good dog and I wanted to make sure that you got to meet our new sister. Here's me, Lucas (my brother), and Buddy. (I think she was distracted by a car that was passing by the house...either that or one of her toy's is over in the direction she's looking...I'm not sure. :)
I've all ready said it, but I'll say it again because EVERYONE in the family thinks this...We love Buddy LOTS and LOTS and we're so glad she's in the family!

Hello Buddy! Looks like a fun dog.. I mean friend :)
She is SO adorable!!! I can't wait to get a dog!!!
I'm glad you had a great vacation, Jen, and I'm glad you had a great time with your families dog....a very pretty one at that!! Linda
whew-ee Can we say S-P-O-I-L-E-D!
She is actually very pretty. You look like you had a lot of fun at home!
"Oh! Look at that huge dog!"
Love,
Sadie
p.s. - Looks like Buddy has quite a charming personality! ~Michelle
She looks like a great dog. I've always pictured the moniker Buddy going with a male dog instead of a female dog, so that part is interesting too. Not that there's anything wrong with naming a female dog Buddy, just observing.
Well, Mel, here's the story on that...my dad wanted to have a dog after he retired and he wanted to name it "Buddy". So, for christmas one year, my brother purchased a name tag and collar for upcoming dog and the name on the collar was Buddy. So...Buddy was destined to be Buddy before she ever showed up. The fact that she was a girl was out of mom and dad's hands since they adopted her. Honestly, she is one cool dog! I think that she has more personality than any dog I ever remember meeting or having! She's special! :)
So, that's the story.
Oh, and I also wanted to mention that I kind of group it with how names are changing regularly to go with boys OR girls. It may have always been a name we associate with a boy (Taylor is one that comes to mind), but now we are meeting lots of GIRLS with that name (Taylor, that is). And, so I view Buddy's name as something grand. Why? Well, we're changing the future of America! Pretty soon, you will meet LOTS of female dogs who are named Buddy! It's inevitable!
;o) *laugh*
