I love my old dog "Buddy" but some times.........
I just swapped out the motherboard & case of my desktop. I put the old case on the living room floor, apparently it didn't have enough "Buddy" on it. Old guy had to pee on it just so everyone knows it is his.

1. Your dog Buddy looks
just like my old Dan.I wish I knew how to post a picture.
Dan crossed over the Rainbow Bridge this past summer.
Almost 12, cancer took him. He was even as plump as
your Dan. Thank you, this brings back so many wonderful
memories. Dan claimed (peed) on things too.LOL
Dan was a rescue, don't have a clue what breed he was.
Buddy looks just like him. What breed is Buddy?

3. Best I can tell he is part Beagle & ????
Posting pictures is easy, you just have to have the picture on the web so it has a web address. Go to photobucket and open a free account. Upload a picture to your account & then it will have a url (web address), then just copy & paste the url to your message.

He was rescued too along with his pregnant girlfriend & their pup from a previous litter. I ended up with six dogs when I adopted Buddy, Angel & PeeDee. Buddy is around 16 years old as best we can tell (he lived up the road before a fire forced his humans to move to town in an apartment). Sweet old guy, I know he will be going to the bridge soon. I am going to spoil him until the day he does.

6. Beagle!
Wow I swear he looks just like my old Dan.
Dan was a big dog,weighed 92 pounds.
Buddy looks really wonderful for being16
years old. Dan was blind the last two years
of his life.Shanh is our other resue, she is
8 and deaf. She really suffered when Dan passed.
She was his eyes and he was her ears.
Both were rescued as pups. Both were going to
be shot by crapy people. They were both drop
offs.
Thanks for the photo bucket info. I will see
If I can figure this out in the morning.
Your Buddy looks down right happy.

4. Nope, buddy got a standing rib roast (plus bone)
I cooked up a big old roast & shared it with the dogs, they all got a big bone with meat on it. They were also given a smoked pigs ear to gnaw on today.

I guess the case was just a "stocking stuffer" for Buddy..... He's set in his ways I guess, if something isn't "marked" properly he takes care of it right away.

5. I can send you my peeing cat to keep buddy company.
All of the sudden cat decided he should pee on the bed instead of a litter box.

8. aw... what a treasure he is! ... but I can empathize, on several counts.

I love my daughter, but I was pretty - um - unhappy when she was using my Powerbook at the kitchen table, got distracted (by the telephone - surprise, surprise, it was not in her hand) and in getting up, pulled the power cord with her and BAM - Powerbook slams on the hard, ruthless, stone/tile kitchen floor. Sickening sound. Booted up once after that, but after that - nothing...

I love my old rescue lab Zander, but he has a pee problem, so I can relate on that level too. He's old, neurotic, needy, lovely, smart, sweet and were it not for the pee problem, he'd be perfect... including the daily piles of black fur in every corner...(had no IDEA this guy would shed so much - for a short hair dog! Wow! And I grew up with a long hair St. Bernard... I think this guy produces more "household fur" than she did, but I must be remembering that wrong, she was pretty darn fuzzy.... and slobbery... and I'd give my right arm (and leg) to have her back. Slobber, fuzz and all...).

But - you'd already taken out the components, right? So, you're safe in that regard? I beat up my computers and work them hard - they're sturdier than I expected - especially that Powerbook. Built like a tank. But that was just a little to much of a shock for it. I'm still in mourning. (sigh).

By the way - I love your dog... he's just too sweet for words. He looks like he knows when he does something he's not supposed to, but really could care less at this point... like an old man. At least in that picture. A sweet ol' curmudgeon of sorts. My guy just looks like - if he could talk he'd sound like Woody Allen in "Annie Hall". : ).

He tried to set the house on fire last week - that was fun... turned the stove on trying to get at some bread on the counter, knocked the roll of papertowels over in the process and .... suffice it to say every single smoke alarm went off, and they're very sensitive because I was able to douse the fire before it spread beyond the stove. And I was in the opposite end of the house - I was impressed. Could have lived with a less dramatic way to prove how good the alarms are, but... now I know.

...Never a dull day with dogs and/or daughters... : )
