Merriest Christmas + Happiest Days

H A P P I E S T   D A Y S

Why is this dog SMILING?

Why is this dog so peaceful?

Why is this dog so happy?

...thinking about his happiest days ahead...

Buddy.

off of the streets, out of the hills

away from the concrete kennel

for good

It just doesn't take that much to make a difference.

For an animal, for a person, for a family.

Try it on for size.

Welcome HOME Buddy.

Home for good.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, BUDDY!!

HAPPIEST DAYS!!

please welcome buddy barnes

he has already helped me baste and quilt a quilt

and he'll be the support team for beyond the reef

and if I can, I will train him to answer the studio phone and take your orders

or at least answer an email here or there

buddy was dumped up in the hills

he lived for a while with dogs, cats, horses

until he ended up in a shelter

quiet

one day a girl came to see him

he sat with her on the floor, and she rubbed his belly

he felt secure - he closed his eyes and relaxed under her touch

but she left

he sat

quiet

and watched her walk away

but she came back - he came around the corner, saw her, and put two muddy paws on her shoulders

licking her face and wagging his tail

"she came back for me"

PS - altho the shelter thought Buddy was Border Collie/Lab mix, the vet thought he might be a McNab Border Collie
from Mendocino, CA
Who knows.
What he IS, is a happy dog.
