Well, lots of people write about their dogs and lots of people "put words in their mouths".
But let's look at it from Buddy's point of view.
Buddy pretty much has it made already. He does, after all, often get his picture up on the family blogs.
Also, Buddy does have a routine - and since he is almost six now - he likes his routine!
Buddy has a great yard where he can peek through the wooden slats to see what is going on in the neighborhood. Once a week, Armando Leal and his crew come to manicure our lawn. Armando's crew wait for the high sign (through the window beside the front door) that Buddy is safely inside the house before proceeding. After they have left, Buddy inspects their work. He always gives it a paws up because he likes his lawn short!
Buddy eats twice a day - in the morning around 10:15 a.m. and in the afternoon at about 3:45 p.m.
Somehow . . . and it's hard to imagine any husband doing this . . . Hubby did not strictly pay attention when I told him that Lhasas live to eat! I know from experience that the average (and of course, Buddy is above average) Lhasa can open a bag of dry dog food and chomp it down on his own.
But, Hubby, wanting to spoil this little guy as much as possible, gave Buddy various and sundry over the kibble. Hubby likes to put little pieces of ham, chicken and cheese over the top of the kibble and one . . . just one of the impressively expensive PetSmart treats on the top.
So, consequently, I have the first dog I have ever not been able to entice with Milk Bone biscuits. All my other dogs loved those in their various flavors and colors . . .
Then, there is the matter of the ice cream. Buddy loves ice cream and as long as there is no chocolate involved, that's okay with me. So, Hubby bribes Buddy with ice cream . . . well, more than once day.
This would all be a major problem . . . in the Richard Simmons sort of way, if you know what I mean . . . save that Buddy loves to exercise! Buddy saunters, walks, gaits, and runs the long width of this backyard. So, Buddy keeps trim.
Of course, a guarding breed, Buddy takes care of alerting us to all possible eventualities in the neighborhood and has a special inane barking for anyone coming right to the front door.
Buddy has a fine assortment of toys with soft and squeaking his faves. He has two rolling toy bins under the coffee table full of toys and yes, he DOES know how to roll out the bins! (You simply push it on through to the other side.)
Did I mention that Buddy takes a few naps during the day . . . especially Sunday mornings (under the buffet) when we are at church. (Yes, there is open access to under the buffet from the back . . . )
Buddy gets up at about 7:30 in the morning and goes back to our bedroom door mat at about 10:30 p.m.
So, the question today was - Should Buddy have a Facebook Page?
You tell me when he would have time for that?
