My Pet's Story
We adopted Buddy when he was a year old after losing our 15 year old Pug to old age. Buddy brought immediate joy into our lives with his happy, playful, adventurous personality. Every Sumner we tour the country in our RV and Buddy loves it. He enjoys hiking, playing ball, kayaking, fishing and making new friends. He absolutely loves walking a shaded, wooded trail in search of bears, deer, coyotes, chipmunks, prairie dogs or any other furry creature that captures his attention. But his very most favorite animals are people he encounters who approach us and ask if they could meet and pet Buddy….especially children. When this happens Buddy will oftentimes rub his body up against their legs much like a cat would do and then roll over on his back allowing the lucky person to scratch and rub his soft belly. This always brings huge, loving smiles to everyone’s face….especially ours! Buddy is the gift that keeps on giving ❤️. We are blessed to have him as he has enriched our lives❤️
