He's doing great!! The vet's office guessed his birthday to be about April 24th, so he's about 8 months old now. He's a good little guy--but no longer little! He weighed about 12 lbs when we got him--and even after all the trouble he had--he's now about 60 lbs. :-D

My husband is so in love with this mutt--Buddy gets greeted in the mornings and after work before me and with more enthusiasm. :lol: But, Buddy's been here for 6 months, and I've been here for 26 years--so that's fair enough. :wink: I tell Mark he says "good boy" when Buddy is just breathing. :lol: I love it that hubby has the experience of having a pet to take his love out on, like I have my horses.

Here's his story if you missed it--or are interested: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-51463-1.htm

That is one happy dog:)

I've followed some of the by-ways of Buddy; delighted he's doing so well and has found his proper people to love him so well!

Oh yes--we just laugh when he lays on the floor on his back to sleep or play and lets us walk around or over him. If we come to him he turns over so we'll scratch his belly. My daughter says he is the happiest dog she's ever seen.

Great pictures. Love Buddy's smile!

Awwww! He's so cute! Gotta love those dogs, no matter what breed they are - or aren't. Ours is a mixed breed & we love him too! Go Buddy!!!

Oh so cute. See that Smile? He is one happy camper.

I have to admit, my husband is the same way w/Bailey.....Play, play, play. It's like having two kids in the house again. They are funny together. You should see Bailey riding in the pick-up. He does not sit side ways, but "Butt" flat and facing window. What looks people give them....Laugh, Laugh and Laugh!

Bailey was 12#'s when we got him. Now he is a hefty 100#

I do that with our girls too! It is a wonderful thing to have a pet or pets for that!

Dawn was just asking about him the other night, so I'm off to let sis know! Lots of love to the four leggers! (Two legged too.) :)

He sure is handsome!!!!

Oh yes--Mark thinks he's perfect in every way. :wink:

Buddy reminds me of a lion--in his coloring and the way he swaggers. We should have called him Simba. He answers to a variety of names--but not that. :lol:
