My 2 Favorite Guys

Besides my father and my brother, my 2 favorite guys in the whole wide world is my FI and our poochie, Buddy. Buddy is part Chocolate Lab - Rottweiler who is a wanna be tough guy with a bubbly, playful lab personality. My FI always calls him a machine because he looks like a chocolate lab on steroids... You can see for yourself =)

So how did Buddy become a part of our life? Well initially he was my FFIL's dog but once my FI brought his dad in due to his numerous health issues, Buddy essentially became his. So once I met my FI, I inherited both my FFIL and Buddy.

My relationship with my FFIL is pretty sour but that's a whole other story that I will not get into or at least not now, besides this post is about our poochie. So where was I? Well at first I have to say I was a little worried about Buddy. First off, I have never lived with a large dog. Like I mentioned above he is a bit of a tough guy. He has a VERY intimidating bark but it really is only a facade because if you pet him enough he starts rubbing your legs like a kitty, lol. Oh, and he had a bad slobber problem. Anytime he would shake we would have to run for cover fearing that it might land on our clothes or even our face. That's our Buddy! But pretty much since he changed his environment and starting living with me his slobber problem has calmed down a bit. Thank God!!

I now introduce Buddy, our poochie =)

What pet(s) do you have and did you have to adjust to having them around?
