Buddy

My story

I waited 11 yrs to get to play with a pony, a pink pony... I was a loyal friend for 10 years, eating people food n weighing over 150#, and then my human died. She was a good owner, but I do remember having a car crash at a younger age n that sure hurt, but I healed up pretty good. Some areas of my body show the wear n tear, but I don't compete in "a best coat" contest, so the occasional tuft of hair missing is OK with me. I went to live with another family, but after a year, their medical conditions and limited budget pushed them to make a difficult decision: they brought me to a shelter asking for me to be euthanized. Wow, was I scared. A Lab for Life saw me online and found me a great foster. So, 2 days after being dropped off at the shelter, I went for a nice car ride to my foster home. Here I am now: enjoying my new 100# body, freedom and I have the coolest 9 year old little canine roommate. I get to check out the barn and say howdy to the 2 mousers (cats), and I let them do their job. I met horses and donkeys (they made a funny noise to greet me, but I wasn't impressed). That reminds me: one time my foster mom and sister went to the barn and left me in the house - I had no problem with that opening that doorknob and wow my foster mom was so surprised to see I caught up with her! Now, back to my Pony. I love my Pony. I gently lay Pony next to my foster mom so she can toss 2 - 3 times a day for 10 minutes or so, then I rest. I like to check out any food left on counters (I got a whole lot of human food when I was young). I sleep next to the bed at nite and my foster mom has to step over me because when I bed down, I'm out for the count. At my age, just being with my people is my adrenaline rush. I've yet to meet a stranger. I'm responsive off leash when you call me. If needed, a harness (not collar) is best way when I have to have a leash on. If you have a place in your heart where I could love you for the rest of my life, please adopt me and make me your best Buddy!
