Buddy having a good time

Dear Friends, I’ve been taking photos and videos of Buddy and the kids at the park but I’ve not had time to put them up here for you all. My work hours are really eating up my time. So it’s been some time since I’ve let you know how Buddy is doing.

Two weekends ago Buddy got back in the lake at the dog park again for the first time after becoming a Tripawd. It was a very hot day and when I asked Buddy if he wanted to go in the lake he jumped up and ran to the gate going to the lake! He was so happy to be back in the water. He even tried to swim a little bit.

Buddy has been running to meet Dennis each day when he comes home. And this past week  when Dennis threw a ball for him Buddy went running off after it, hunted around and found it and whirled around and came running back without loosing his footing. So Dennis threw the ball again and Buddy ran after it and brought it back again.

Then this past weekend when I was getting the dogs ready to get in the car to go to the park I let Buddy run to the car. Without waiting for me to help him get in, he just jumped in on his own. And when we got to the park he had a wonderful time swimming in the lake. I will try to put together another video of Buddy and the other pups at the dog park. So you can all see how well he is doing and how happy he is.

I've had dogs and cats since I was 3. Currently my husband and I have 4 dogs and 5 cats. Dogs range from Buddy the 100-pound Golden, to Bella the 60-pound hound to Stubby the 40-pound Chow mix to Precie the overweight 20-pound mystery dog with the face of a Shitzu and the hair of a Yorkie or Schnauzer and the temperament of Attila the Hun! The cats rule indoors, the dogs own the back yard with a sleeping porch in the house at night. Buddy is 10 and in spite of our hopes that he could avoid this Golden trait, has started getting sarcomas and just had his front left leg removed. We have had many pets die over the years - lovingly buried and remembered. But Buddy going to 3 legs is a new world for us. thank you all for helping us in this difficult journey.
