Bye Bye Buddy

This is Buddy.

He helped us drive our moving truck from Texas to California.

He likes to jump...

...and play.

But sometimes it's so exhausting...

that he just needs to kick back...

and get a manicure.

He likes to go on vacations.

He's an excellent babysitter...

and an excellent co-worker when he gets to come to work!

But most of all he's just a good dog. Buddy Crimefighter Royal, he's been an excellent pet. He's had his moments of being a terror but overall he's been pretty great. He's the most affectionate pet I've ever had, for sure which is why it's time for him to move on. Our home has been lacking Buddy-directed affection lately and we've found a perfect new home for him with a couple who live just 10 minutes away. She wanted a "bully breed" and he grew up with boxers, so Buddy (a pittbull/boxer mix) is a great fit. Not only did they come visit him here, Buddy and I visited them in their home too. He's moving in with his new parents tomorrow.

So long faithful friend, I'm glad you'll get some more attention and I'm glad our floors won't have nasties tracked in from the back yard constantly. Oh and I look forward to dog-sitting you when your new parents go out of town.
