Buddy continues to be a wonderful, playful, loving sweetheart. He is this silly wild man when he first meets someone, he just can't get close enough or be loved enough. He almost turns himself inside out for people. Everyone loves him. He is a very tall dog, so we are still working on him staying off, and calming down, so he doesn't knock someone into the next county! Once the initial greetings are over, he settles down into the calm boy that I know most of the time. And you can see by the new pictures, I've got proof!
Buddy loves Cadbury (the rabbit) and gives him kisses. Buddy actually loves everybody. He is great with cats, although Pearl (our cat) didn't appreciate the paw on the head the other day. It was Buddy's way of saying "Let's play!". Pearl's paw said, "Let's not!". Pearl won.
Every day Buddy gets to stretch his legs. Since our landscaped back yard is all frozen over, he gets to rip and tear in a half acre that is fenced in. He usually makes about 12-14 circles before his tongue is hanging out and he is ready to go in. He can really fly.
The other day, I was working in my art room, and I had a box of things I was going to go through, on the floor. There were 3 folded up paper towels in the box. Buddy picked up the first one and just started to rip it up, I told him no, that wasn't nice. He stopped immediately, then put his head back down, picked up the paper towel and brought it to me. I told him what a good boy he was, and loved him up. He then went back and picked up each of the other ones and brought them to me. This shows how much this guy wants to please. He had a visitor a few days after that, and he went back to the box, and brought her a piece of plastic, then came back with 3 packages of marigold seeds! I think I need to get that box gone through!!! He is just so sweet!
Buddy would love a forever home for Christmas. He has a list however of what he wants his home to be, and I agree totally.
** A home with a fenced in yard, or a home with adults that would take him out on a leash ONLY & ALWAYS and take him for lots of walks or runs. Children should be 10 or older, so he doesn't knock them over when he is in a bouncy mood.
** He needs to be appreciated for the wonderful dog that he is, and not be way down on the list of things to do.
** He needs lots of love and attention everyday. He loves to play and also loves to snuggle and get kisses.
It's a pretty short list - keep him safe and love him! And you will get sooooo much back! He would love you forever, try to do everything in his power to please you. If you wanted, he would love obedience or agility, or would just be your couch potato. A diamond ring can't do all that!!!
So if you can fill that list, give RAGOM a call or email placement
ragom [dot] org and Buddy will be happy to meet you.
