Success Story: Buddy (#1074)

Adopted August 29, 2004

A funny thing happened on the way to the picnic!

First, I got to run around and chase the ball until I got an owie on my foot. But it was worth it 'cause I had a great time.

Then, I met this nice lady named Linda who made friends with me and asked me to come and live with her. Of course, I said yes right away. And here I am in a place called Corvallis.

Then, Linda tested me by taking me to a place where they fixed my owie. They fixed it all right — now I have a clumsy sock on my leg called a bandage. I told them I didn't much like that, but you know humans — they'll do it anyway.

And now, Linda expects me to climb those funny things called steps if I want to be with her. Oh my, what ordeal we goldens suffer to please our human. They say it's all in my head, so I guess I'll get the hang of it.

Oh, yeah, and she's starving me too. Says I have to be on a diet. Instead of treats I have to settle for a tennis ball.

Linda sure expects a lot of me. But, you know what? It's a durn sight better than where I came from. I think I'll stay.

See what funny things happen on the way to a Golden Bond picnic. I hope to see you there next year.
