Super Buddy to the Rescue!

I told Super Buddy to get on his red cape so we could go rescuing dogs together.  He was excited to be on a mission.  I did not have the heart to tell him we were just going to the dump.

Hi there.

My name is Frankie and this big-boned gal is my Maggie.  She's my better 3/4ths you might say.  But I love my big girl except at feeding time- I sometimes have to show my teeth to keep the ole girl at bay.  And yes, that is just her collar that makes her hips look big.- Frankie

Not friends just yet, but trying hard.

Mom, what IS that on my couch?  A small black and white boxer?- Sam


This is close as I am getting, not sure I want to be friends yet with "Buddy". He is not my Buddy.  -Sam

Ok. We are sitting together now. Is this close enough. Do I have to play with him?- Sam
Smell my butt if you like me.- Buddy

Rounding error

Those of you in business are familiar with this term. Today I was out picking up poop in the yard. I am used to large dogs, large piles.  As I am almost done walking the yard, I realize I haven't found any "Buddy" poop (small Boston Terrier).  Then it dawns on me that with an acre yard, big dogs, and plenty of trees/natural area- Buddy's poo is simply a rounding error....too small to matter.

I kinda feel like it is the same thing with the number of dogs.  If you have 4 big dogs, what is one more small one? Who notices? And scary, but I have left one behind on more than one occasion!    I would not be a good bus driver, counting to make sure all the children are present. Bus seems full, let's go!

 This is Super Buddy!  He secretly LOVES his new cape.




This is Sam. Looking to turn my grass yellow, or brown. Just depends.  You can trip on Sam's poops and hurt yourself.

Hmmmm

I have stared at this fence all day and I still cannot decide what color I want to paint it.

Magazine covers

Loved visiting Western Australia and was very impressed with how well they take care of their pets- exercise, animal rights, very few strays.  Here are a couple of general magazines with dogs on the cover in December.


However, I want my Aussie hat and my snorkel mask back!
