First of all, Archie, I think we have TWINS. Your Buddy sounds incredibly like my Tootie Man.
He is of course, a Big loving man! Tootie is the most fun-loving little guy I have ever had. He has the cutest look, LOVES to cuddle, and I know he understands what I say to him. I can see it in his eyes. He is my snuggle buddy who is very happy to see anyone who will smile at him! You can often see the smile on his face! There is NEVER a day that I come home the he doesn't make me giggle at the door!
Ms. Hopey, well, she is a ROTTEN DIVA! HAHA... She is the sweetest little thing ever, and "needs" her Mommy. I never had a pet who "needed" me as much as she does, and it is a beautiful thing! She is so sweet, loves to lay in the "bankie" right next to me. She is not really a snuggle buddy like Tootie, but as long as she is touching me she is OK. She is so like a baby to me. I catch alot of "flack" from the family about how spoiled she is, but this is why I got the beautiful little thing! She brings such joy to my life it is unbeleivable!
I have two other pups, Tinker and Laci... Tinker is the "lady" of the house and very bossy while Laci is the BIG OLE PUP, she is 95 lbs. and has no idea she is not a lap dog.
I thank God everyday for bringing me such a wonderful little "fur family".
