Our "Best Friend"

This is our dog, Buddy - He's originally from South Dakota and while he was loved there, he presented some issues to his previous owner (Bill's sister's family) and Bill took him in and brought him back to Minnesota while he was out there pheasant hunting. Buddy was not very socialized and demanded alot of time and attention, all of which Bill had little when they were first brought together - I came on the scene in late 1999 and while I had never had a dog, this one stole my heart. Yes, he has issues but here are some pics of him doing what he does best, guarding the house while we are away at work and relaxing from the rigors of his day in doing so. Bill has accused me of babying him but with such an important job of guarding the house 24-7, can't a guy expect alittle TLC? I think so!
