The World According to Buddy

Since Tyson and Kelly do not update their adventures often enough, I have decided to take over this blog.  I think that my writing will be more interesting than anything they have to say!  We’ll see how it goes.

Me pulling Tabi on our walk

Earlier this month, I got to meet my Aunt Tabitha for the first time.  It was very exciting because she was so nice to me!  She let me do all kinds of things Tyson and Kelly don’t let me do…like walk with a really long leash!  I got to sniff everywhere and get into everyone’s yard like I always want to.  She played tug with me in the house AND invited me up on the couch!  But Tyson and Kelly promptly told her I wasn’t allowed on the furniture.

While Tabi was here, Tyson and Kelly took her all kinds of fun places I couldn’t go – like the Boston Marathon and on a Duck Tour!  They saw Kara Goucher in the lead, running toward the finish but she ended up getting passed.  It was, as always, a great race.

Go Kara!

After Tabi left, I got to go on my first hike!  I was very excited about getting dirty and climbing all over.  It was very hot though and I was tired of walking but we had to keep going.  I slept the rest of the day.

The dirty swamp water

It’s hard to see in the swamp water picture but I am wearing my new, navy blue collar with the red lobsters all over it.  Tyson and Kelly brought it back from Maine and I love it!  It makes me feel like a true New Englander.  They got it at this cute store in Portland called Fetch.  They brought me so many yummy treats since I didn’t get to go.  In fact, I’ve never been to Maine and they’ve gone twice within the last month!  Last weekend, they went with Sarah and Michael just to eat lobster at Chauncey Creek!  They found out that dogs are welcome though so I will get to go next time.  Yippee!  They love that lobster place and take everyone they know up there.  If you are visiting Boston soon, I’m sure they’ll take you too!

Who is this clown?

April was a good month.  The weather stayed pretty nice and we’re all excited for summer to come in full gear.  The vet told me I have to lose some weight so I am thankful for days that it’s not raining so I can get my exercise.  We’ve been to our neighborhood park a lot lately and I’m trying really hard to be better at playing fetch.  Sometimes I just get so distracted though!  I’ll let you know when I’ve got the hang of it.

At the park – look at me sit!
