Country Boy

Gone Home

Howdy all...time flies. Bubba here. It has been quite a summer I'm tellin' ya.

Mamma Rose went to heaven August 3rd. I got to see her a few weeks before that. She was at a kennel for old people and she just laid in bed but I got to lick her hand. We were glad to see each other but I knew she was feelin right poorly.

Of course, I still miss the ole' gal. She was somethin special. Once in a while I still think she'll come and get me. Like this mornin, I saw her car in the driveway and I got all excited, thinkin she was in the house. Of course she wasn't. Maw and Paw keep bringing some of her stuff home so I can smell Mama Rose. I reconkin' that's normal.

I got a mention in the obituary. So did Katie (that's the bichon that lived with Mama Rose before me.) People ask about me. Right kindly of them. A lot of folks, when they hear about Mama Rose, ask my new Maw "What happened to her little dog?" They mean me. Seems Mama Rose told everyone about me. Let me tell ya all somethin...Don't ya all go frettin about this ole boy. I've got a good home. The good Lord done seen to that. Yep Indeed.

Summer and Nibbles are great pack mates. We all get along right as rain. Not to tell tales out of school, they could use some manners. They gulp their dinner and then try to eat mine. Especially that Summer gal. Course, I'm a gentleman and I don't mind if the little lady takes a bite of my kibble. Maw gets put out by it. Another thing, I keep a real good eye on the house. I like to keep watch by gettin up on that there recliner and watch out the back window. Ain't nuthin gettin by this ole boy, I'll gaurentee that!

i best be goin. I think Summer wants to play ball with me or maybe us little doggies can catch some zzz's with Paw.

Oh yeah, before I sign off here I wanted to say "Hey" to cousins Lisa and Rob. Lisa likes reading our diaries and Rob asked about me. They sound like mighty nice folks for cat people.

Ya'll take care.

A New Home

Howdy y'all. The name's Bubba. I have new home. I don't remember too much about my first home. I've been told my owner went back to their home country. A neighbor took me in for about a month and then took me to PAWs, a no-kill shelter. They were nice to me there but I found it a bit stressful.

One day this lady with a cane and another lady came and visited me. I got to go home with them. Well, I lived with the lady with a cane. I'll call her Mamma Rose. I was an only dog and a bit spoiled. I wasn't allowed on the furniture and Mamma Rose couldn't walk me but I got lots of treats, and toys and I visted the groomer almost every month it seems. Tell ya the truth, I put on a few pounds. Sometimes Mamma Rose would go the hospital and I'd stay with the other lady.

Mamma Rose has been feeling poorly for awhile and I think she is too sick to take care of herself, much less me. That's how I got a new family. Mommy is the lady who found me at the shelter. I have a Daddy now too! I love to lick his face first thing in the morning. Now I am part of an honest to gosh dog pack. Okay, they are cavaliers, but they are dogs! Summer is a blast. She will be one next month and she loves to play! I like to lick her face. Nibbles is okay. He plays sometimes. When I go to lick his face he pulls back and says, "Dude, that is sonot cool." I'm allowed on the furniture except for the bed at night. Mommy brought my bed from mamma Rose's and I sleep there. I think I'm going to like my new home. I'll pop in time to time and let you all know what's happin' at our house.

Take care!

Bubba
