[Dailydrool] Buddydawg

[bassetslave]

FEYFEY!!! Get your claws out of my tail. I know it is you.....yes, I know 
that bobbydawg, er, buddydawg went to the bridge. The she slave has been in 
tears.  He was the only foster houndie who ever really stayed and moved out. 
His little fluffy face is still in a framed picture on the shelf. They talk 
about the cheesehound all the time, cause he so loved his cheese.

He's there? A hound named Happy came to greet him and check on his 
person....then Sydney B? Yes, I know. He was here in January 2003. Had a bit 
of a discussion with Syd, who got put on the other side of the fence. They 
made nice, then Syd flopped down on his bed and went to the bridge too 
young. (Sudden anyeurism)  Sydney B. glad to see him? I'm happy.

'Bobby' came from the Southern Ocean Shelter. He'd been at the Northern 
Ocean Shelter and they sent him south to try and find a home. He was a 
fluffy guy, with soft fur. fey says he was a bearnese mountain basset. He 
loved his cuddles and loved his CHEESE.  The slaves would love to have had 
him be a keeper, but at the time, there were four. Feyfey, Woo, Sydney B. 
and Bobbydawg. He slave draws the line at a maximum of three. Bobbydawg went 
to a howliday pawty to meet a prospective adopter. They looked at him as if 
he was less than worthy because he wasn't the quintessential basset. That 
was not going to happen.

A few weeks later, Rene'e came along. She met bobbydawg in a diner parking 
lot and loved him at first sight. She couldn't take him for a little bit, 
but clearly adored him. Sydney went to the bridge in the week that followed. 
Rene'e kindly offered to let him stay, but we couldn't take him from her. 
We'd been bad enough on Woo.  Bobbbydawg became Buddydawg and truly loved. 
He didn't come round as often as he said he would but had a good life as the 
man of her house. I suspect he never thought he got nuff cheese, but know 
she tried.

Auntie feyfey says that Woo and Syd both came woofin to see Buddydawg. It's 
been almost 8 years and they remember him well. In honor of his arrival, the 
buffet is laid entirely with cheese. Every kind imaginable. Buddydawg might 
actually get enough. I'm grateful we got to share a few months with him and 
that he found his place. To the people who let him go to the shelter in the 
first place.....your loss.

L'Chaim, little buddy.
