Well, hope you're enjoying when we post on Fido and Fifi and just wanted you to see up close how even Buddy the Lhasa has changed! This is Buddy within the past year and the one on top is Buddy when he first came to our home at 10 months of age.
That is something that Buddy and Bo, the new Presidential dog have in common. They did not arrive at their homes as little puppies.
When Buddy came to us, he had to be named and he was rather shy and a little wild at the same time. He fell into routine quite quickly and has been bossing us ever since.
I think the thing Buddy missed the most was the doggy door at the kennel. We have to open the door to let Buddy into the backyard and oh, how he loves the backyard! Lhasas were guarding dogs inside the Tibetan monasteries years ago. Of course, outside there was a Tibetan Mastiff, so it is improbable the Lhasa had much to do! Nothing gets past Buddy, be it squirrels, birds, mailmen, garbage trucks or the school bus.
Buddy has fit well into our routine and we enjoy him very much. He will be six years old in July and he certainly has trained Hubby and me very well.
We - unfortunately - put a lead on him when company comes and of course he is crated when little children visit. We do know what he can handle and what he is good at. And that would be loving both of us very much! Oh . . . if you think you see a "smart alec" look on Buddy's face . . . yes, he is that too!
