Birthday: April 15th 2006 Likes: Sticks, to carry through the neighborhood. He appears to be "on task". Pet-Peeves: cats, flute playing Favorite Toy: Kong ball with treats, Best Tricks: He wipes his feet when he comes in from a walk, if asked. Arrival Story: My first dog. My daughter and husband really wanted a dog and we wanted something from the working class. Buddy was a handful for the first 2.5 years. Almost impossible to keep up with. Now, at 3 years old, he is slowed a bit. Bio: I think he looks like Skidboot! Perhaps a little lab mix because Buddy likes to swim. If anybody has a comment on this, I would love to hear more.

Bud is slowing down. He is just as happy napping as getting outside. We have a 3 year old Blue Heeler now, Louie, who is a constant annoyance to Buddy. Still loves Kong Ball, retreaver rolls, and chewing wood (including cinnamon sticks).
Very cold in Michigan this year. Once had to put a shirt on Buddy but he urinated in the inside and dragged an iceburg underneath him until we got back home.
His paws are not liking weather < -10'F. If it is any warmer he will bound about in the snow, especially in the AM when I can take him off of his leash. We walk at 315AM so there is no danger of running into anyone. Once he chased a deer that early but with this cold, little animals are milling around.
Didn't think I would enjoy a dog so much but like the fact that we go for walks. I get time to think about my day and things that I can change to make myself a better person.
