Well it’s been about 24 hours and I don’t have any regrets about Buddy. Trust me, he’s testing the waters. Good thing for the Bissel green monster I cleaned up one of the tests that happened on the rug. He also ran off and I had to chase him. I thought I’d never see him again but then a dog came along and distracted him enough for me to grab him. That’s not going to happen again. Nobody said it would easy.

On the plus side, I gave him a nice bath today so he no longer smells like crud, which is nice. He actually enjoys getting groomed. He also had some time away from the cone today but it only lasted 3 hours before he started licking his rash again. Yea! my dog’s got jock itch! So the cone’s back on. Now he looks more like the RCA Dog but instead of listening to the phonograph, he’s in it.

He’ll have his first day on his own tomorrow because it’s back to work for me. We’ll see how that goes. Here’s some shots while he had the cone off and Petu watching as he got a bath.

Today we took a nice drive south on highway 1 along the coast to Santa Cruz. Our objective was to get some coffee and check out a dog at the SPCA. We never got the coffee but got the dog. His name was Bartholomew but now we call him Buddy…he’s got bulging eyes like Buddy Cianci. We’ve been wanting a dog for a while and now we found him. He’s a good match for Petu as well. They like to sniff each other and knock noses. He’s a Boston Terrier mix alot. He’s got a cone on his head due to a rash he got on his belly after he was neutered. Without it he licks the area and irritates it more. It’ll be on for one more week.

Well that’s it for now, it was a big day and we’re pooped. I’ll write more about Buddy the next couple of days but for now here’s a picture on our way back up highway 1.
