I 💗 this so much! Thanks for the shoutout. Buddy is beautiful and I can only imagine all the joy he brings into you and your family’s lives. I too had a pride and joy who passed away several years ago. Her name was Ginger, a Dachshund/Bassett mix, and she was the first pet I took full ownership and responsibility for. She too was completely incorrigable. She chewed EVERYTHING to the point she became the bane of my siblings existence lol. It got to the point where it was an unspoken rule in the house that anything you left on the floor or within doggie reach meant that you were ok with it getting chewed up and destroyed. But despite he quirks and typical doggie behavior I loved her to death and still miss her to this day. The excitement she expressed every time I came home was amazing. I thought she was gonna have a heart attack at times lol. I can still miss the way she would sit upright with her front paws up begging and whining at me to wake up in the morning to feed her and take her out. Raising a fur baby is no easy task but it’s more than worth it and I still have. dog shaped hole in my heart waiting to be filled
