Here is BUDDY, this little chap has quite a story to tell!
Buddy
We got Buddy in February 2006.
Prior to this we had had a lovely little Westie called Kelly, who we got in 1990, we had her until September 2005, when she sadly died of cancer a few weeks before her 15th birthday.
The whole family were devasted at her death because she was such a big part of our family life and was loved by us all. At that time we didn't contemplate getting another dog because we felt we could never replace her in our affections and both our children were grown up and living in their own homes.
In early February 2006 my wife was visiting some friends when a friend of their's, an elderly chap, called in to see them and he had this little puppy with him that he had recently purchased. My wife was immediately captivated by his little Jackahuahua and enquired about where he had got him from and were there any more left. He told her he would make enquiries and let her know.When she got back home that day she told me about him and I must admit that from the description she gave me I was not particularly keen.
A few days later, unbeknown to me she received a telephone call from this old chap saying that his little puppy was too boistrous for him and would she like him. She readily agreed and drove straight to his house and collected him and brought him home and presented him to me. I didn't know what to say. I was looking at this unusual looking, but cute, little dog with huge pointed ears and pleading little face. I thought he could never take the place of our beloved little Kelly, but I knew how much Anne liked him and pretended to be as captivated by him as I knew she was. We decided to call him "Buddy" after Buddy Holly my favourite 50's singer.
During the next few weeks Buddy settled in very well and it soon became obvious that he had a very friendly nature although he soon let us know if anyone was at the front door! As he matured he began to 'grow' on me and the rest of the family. We have 5 grand children and trust him explicity with them and they love him to bits. He is very affectionate and loves to be cuddled and sit on people's laps. He is now a big part of our family life and I think anybody considering a Jackahuahua as a pet dog will not be disappointed as you no doubt would agree.
