I always love a good story of how you met your dog .. its amazing how many different ways they come into your life and it's actually not always that you decided to get a dog .. sometimes the dog finds you and thats exactly what happened with our Buddy Jr .. I had the dog cave open in London Rd for a couple of years and a lovey lady came in with a young sh*tzu .. we where chatting and she told me she was going to have to find him a new home as she was ill 🥲 when she came to get him i think it was obvious we had become pals as she asked me if I wanted him .. I had Star then and I thought a young dog was just what he needed to keep him going so I said yes and full of excitement called my mum to tell her we had a new family member and because we had already had a Buddy before and I didn't want to change the name his mum had given him we called him Buddy Jr .. so there was me delighted thinking I was now a 2 dog owner again until my dad called all excited and wanting to have a video call with HIS new pal 🤣 my mum and dad hadn't had a dog for a few years as ther last dog passing 'Misty the Westie' had my mum saying she just couldn't go through losing another .. so here I am on the video call with my dad arguing about who's dog Buddy Jr was until he said .. 'he needs to come stay with me' ... 'your mum might not change her change her mind again' 🤣 so Buddy Jr went to stay with them in 'Spoiltville' and became my dad's walking bestie and my mums cuddle monster.. we lost my mum a few years later and i honestly dont think my dad would have coped so well without his wee pal so he was definately the 'dog they needed' 🥰. Bud bud will be 10 this year and hes always been such a great wee dog ..part of the clan and loves a walk with his pals Isla & Fred ❤️❤️❤️
