Buddy Goes Home

Though I have been taking care of pets for most of my life, Buddy was my first guest at the Lady’s Camp.

As with all the pups that followed him, I love him and can’t wait to see him again. Though we formed a bond, I was his human of choice for only a short time. Just like all the pups that came after him, when his mom came to retrieve him, I was yesterday’s news. 

Happily, they often return to The Lady’s Camp. Many have become regulars. Like babies they are completely dependent on me and I won't them down.

The following letters are in no particular order of visiting pups. As you will see, each pup has their unique personality. They are as unique as people are. Yet unlike humans, dogs have one thing in common: Every one of them is an angel in disguise.

Stay tuned for "Cavapoo Times Two", the adventures of Cabbie and Lucy. These adorable pups came to play!

You're Coming Home!

Dear Mom,

The lady told me that you’re coming home tomorrow. I’m thrilled! 😍 But she? Not so much.  😥

Today was a beautiful day. It cooled down a little and I got to spend a lot of time outside.

Did I tell you that I met the neighbor lady? I liked her a lot. She thought I was adorable and could not stop petting me, even though she was running late. I guess I have that affect on people. 😇 I’m sure that’s no surprise to you.

Besides meeting new trees, my favorite thing is laying on the couch with the lady. She pets my neck the way you showed her and I can’t get enough. Today she stopped to answer her phone! Seriously? I was having none that, so I tried to knock it out of her hand and I made the lady laugh!

But don’t get the wrong idea. I’m being a really good listener! 

I can’t wait to see you tomorrow Mom.  Have a safe flight. I miss you. ❤️

Love,

Buddy🐾 

I Pooped.

I Pooped.

Hi Mom. 

Well it didn’t cool off much this evening but I did get in a walk and a poop. The lady was so excited about my poop, that I'm not sure that she’s ever seen one before. She told me over and over what a good boy I am! Honestly though, even if she did sound a little nuts, I didn't mind playing along for praise and treats.

I know you were concerned about me not eating, while you're away. However, you need not worry, as the Lady ( inadvertently) solved that problem.  Earlier this evening, the lady went into the kitchen and I heard her get my bowl and food. I waited on the kitchen floor, watching her as she took forever to open my bag of food. ( I know! Right?) For a few desperate minutes, it was touch and go. When she finally got the situation in hand, I had worked up such an appetite pacing and waiting, that I ate almost all of it. 

I miss you. 😘 But I think this lady really likes me, so I should probably keep her company for the next couple of days. 

Love,

Buddy 🐾 💖

 

Buddy 3 "You would be so proud of me!"

"You would be so proud of me!"

Hi Mom!

You would be so proud of me! Last night I finally got the nerve to jump on the couch. Ok, I did wait until the lady was in the shower, but it still counts, RIGHT? 😳

I think the lady is getting attached to me, so I was kind enough to sleep behind her legs last night. 😇

As soon as I woke up I crawled onto her chest and laid there while she pet me behind the ears. She wasn't fully awake, but don’t worry. When she nodded off, I crawled closer and licked her face. She caught on pretty fast, because I got nonstop petting after that.

After about 20 minutes,  we got up to go on my first walk of the day.  I explored some more and found my favorite trees. I also did another poop. She still praised me, but I could tell she was less impressed this time. I guess if you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all.

I am making myself at home, but I miss you Mom. ❤️

Love,

Buddy 🐾

Buddy (My Buddy!) Part 1

Lady's Note: Buddy's mom rescued him from a puppy mill ten years ago. This amazing women took a shell of a dog, and loved and trained him into an awesome pup! He is a 12 year old male Boston Terrier who loves to sniff! When he and his mom came to my home for a meet and greet, he spent most of his time, with his nose to the floor. However, from his first day with me, as he sniffed less and snuggled more, we quickly became buddies! He is a sweet, affectionate boy and I can't wait to see again!

Buddy's 1rst Letter:

Dear Mom,

The lady took me for a walk this morning and made me heel and sit.  I did get treats, but Wicked Bossy, right? At least now she knows I'm smart. My favorite part was when she loosened the leash and let me explore. What a sniff-fest I had! I even introduced myself to a couple of trees!

We made one loop around the driveway, before I stuck my tongue out at her to show her that I was getting hot. She brought me inside pronto, and I drank from a bowl of water on the floor.

I found it right away, which must mean I know my way around here already. Of course that’s not surprising, as I’ve sniffed every inch of her floor. Which, I must say, was a big disappointment, as I found precious little. 😳 On the bright side, I don’t think she’ll have to vacuum anytime soon.

Love,

Buddy🐾💖
