Buddy Loves Family

Our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Buddy, has an open invitation to come along whenever we visit either of our sons and their families.

Buddy loves it when he can visit family and receive pampering like our granddaughter Aubrey is giving him in the photo.

Just this past Monday we made a trip to Oregon to celebrate granddaughter Hayley’s 10th birthday. When we arrived there, Buddy literally went crazy with joy, leaping around with happiness, when he finally got to see all three granddaughters and his friend, Jack, a JR Terrier who also lives there with Gregg and Elaine.

Later in the afternoon we’re going to hop the ferry and visit Doug and Jamie in the big city for a dinner get-together at their house. We told Buddy earlier today that he gets to go along once again, and his tail has been in motion all day. He’s already anticipating the special attention he gets there.

When it gets close to the time for us to leave, and he knows he can come with us to one of our kids’ places, he always sits and waits at the top of the stairs. You can read his eyes. “Don’t forget me,” they say, as the tip of his tail signals his happiness.

Yep, Buddy loves family, and there's a good reason why.
