Buddy

We got a new dog last Tuesday.  While I did nothing on Tuesday, Evan and Eric drove to Bakersfield to get Buddy from Mama and Papa.

He is a 6-year-old Shi-Tzu whose owner died.  The vet recommended my in laws, and they gave him to us.  We had been thinking about getting another dog for a couple of reasons.  Bandit is pretty old and when it is his time, we know that Harry will need a friend because he is so dependent and needy.

 Buddy likes lying on the cooler tile.  Harry likes to antagonize Buddy.  Poor new dog just wants a moment of peace.  No one gets peace with Harry around!

 Buddy isn't overweight, but he is one SOLID dog.  He weighs about 20 pounds and is pretty hefty to pick up.

 Cute little face!

  Sometimes Buddy manages to get his own couch cushion.

 A rare shot with all three dogs.

These two crack me up with how close they sleep.  That is Harry's choice.  Bandit doesn't purposely snuggle up to Harry, but he doesn't seem to mind when Harry presses up against him.

Buddy has been in the family for less than a week, but he seems to be settling in just fine.
