Buddy

A few months ago, I posted about us finding a Great Pyrenees we named Buddy. Well, we found the owner, but not before Buddy left us a gift- or 8 gifts that keep giving. On May 8, Martha had 8 puppies between midnight and 5 in the morning…without further ado…here they are!

Buddy is at his home, and Martha is doing well and has been a super mom. It’s been an adventure for all of us. We barricade them in a room, and they bust out. Usually the one leading the charge is the only one that has a name…Cosmo…and that would be number 6 on here. Of course, we picked him out to keep before we knew of Mr. Cosmo’s rebellious nature. Some of their paws are brownish in the pictures; that would be them getting to eat off a plate for the first time. What’s the fun in that when they can romp in it as well!

I thought I’d take a break from music and movies and head on over to the dog aisle today. The wacky adventures of the author.

Our dog Martha brought home a Great Pyrenees boyfriend not long ago. We got Martha in 2019, right before COVID. We were going to get her spayed, but when COVID came, we thought we would wait. Well, we ended up not doing it. She is an inside dog, but of course goes out in our fenced-in back yard to get out and do her business.

One day, she found out she could jump the fence, and she did. Our neighborhood doesn’t have many dogs, and the ones we do have are small. Everyone in the neighborhood knows Martha and is cool with her when she does get out of our yard, which is seldom, but apparently, she found this dog somewhere, and no one is claiming him around here. We started calling him “Buddy,” and it stuck. He was on our front porch when he heard a gunshot from far off. He took off and went next door, where a teacher lives; she and her kids were petting him when we went over, and they were calling him Buddy, so it works.

We are looking at Facebook lost and found pets in our area, and posted his picture up there. He is very shy and would not come into our house whatsoever. The next day, after we found him, I lifted up the front of his body, and Bailey lifted up the other half and put him in the car. We took him to get scanned for a chip. He doesn’t have one, of course. No collar or anything. We finally got him into our house to look him over by both of us lifting him up.

I also talked to a lady who has owned this type of dog most of her life. She said he could have come from a farmer who had this dog to guard cattle, and they usually would not let them in their house. So, what we might do is buy a dog GPS tracker and a collar to see where he goes when he is outside. Of course, he could have been abandoned…a lot of options.

I have received some responses on Facebook, but no one knows him or claims him. This dog has won over our neighborhood, with at least 3 neighbors telling us that they are willing to chip in on dog food or whatever it needs to keep him here. So, for right now, we have another dog for the moment. He has the patience of Job…Martha will bark at him if he is lying down on the floor…she wants him up. He looks at me like, ” Why is she doing that?“

So for right now…we have around 280 lbs of dogs following us around.
