Me & My Family

Dad told me, “If it were just up to me, you’d come home with us right now. But there’s one more person you need to impress. If you greet her the way you greeted us, you’re in, Buddy.” (Little did I know Buddy would end up being my name!)

We couldn’t wait to get home and tell Mom we found our new puppy. We promised her that if she didn’t fall in love right away, we’d keep looking until she was happy.

Yup — it was love at first sight. They didn’t know what to name me at first. Auntie Mel suggested Buddy, and of course I needed a middle name, so Elvis was the first one Dad thought of.

The rest is history. I couldn’t have found a better family to call my own. I was loved unconditionally, no matter what I did.

Dad was always patient while teaching me new tricks. I always tried my best to do what I was told and to keep Mom and Dad as happy as they made me. I couldn’t have asked for better parents or a better life.

Thank You, God!
