Buddy the German Shepherd

Meet Buddy
Buddy is our 8 year old German Shepherd. We rescued him from our local Humane Society. He was 18 months old then and quarantined from the other animals. We were told that he was not sociable with other dogs.

After a period of getting to know Buddy, we brought him home.

He gets along great with the neighbor's pugs and my sister-in-law's dogs. Trixie the Dachshund, (may she rest in peace) and Ringo the Border Collie. Ringo is very much alive and loves attention. (Read more by clicking on the link above).

Birthday Wish List for My Dog
I'm a German Shepherd and behind me is my cousin Ringo (Shown on the lens). My birthday is February 2. Whether it is too early or too late for my big day doesn't mean you have to wait in fulfilling my birthday wish list quest.

Contact my human mom, Sandy and she will give you the address to send my gifts to.

I love new toys, a new bed and treats just like the next dog does. Searching around for the right gifts for myself, I think these will suit me just fine. (Read more by clicking on the link above).

The following two are about our albino ferret and what is need before bringing home a ferret and some toys they enjoy.

Ferret Toys and Accessories
Ferrets are curious animals and want to discover everything. Our pet ferret, Roxie Lady loved her toys. Many of her toys were ferret and cat toys. She liked toys that had little bells and squeaky toys. She even had a toy ferret that made different sounds. Every time this toy would make a sound she would jump up and down as in a little dance.

One of Roxie's favorite toys was the tunnel toy. The longer the tunnel, the more she enjoyed it.

When we went camping, everyone loved the little white ferret on the leash.

On this lens (click on on the link above) are some toys I know Roxie Lady would love. Also a leash so you could walk your own ferret.

Bringing Home a Ferret
Before we had the dogs (Buddy and Trixie), there was Roxie Lady, our albino ferret. We bought her when she was a 6 week old kit from the breeder. Among the litter of 8 baby ferrets, she was one of two albinos and the runt of all the ferrets.

It hadn't been that long since we put our dog Wendy to sleep. Something we hoped to never have to go through again. We vowed not to have another pet. But for that short period, it wasn't the same in our household.

Our daughter kept reading up on ferrets and brought up all the information she learned to our attention. She finally broke me down and Roxie came home with us to my husband's surprise.

I knew someone once who had a ferret. It was adorable, but I remember it running around like crazy, fun to watch, but wow to live with? :-D

Margo, not all ferrets are like that. My Roxie did have her moments, but most of the time she liked to snuggle up.

I think your blog pages great and I love the dancing dog. I didn't know you were on blogger as I have been on it for a long time but I could never figure out how to find other people at this site so it is good to see you Sandy.

Sandy, I'm so glad you were able to rescue your German Shepherd. I grew up with German Shepherd from the time I was born and they're wonderful dogs. Nice story.
