Mr. Buddylee Is A Kids Magnet.

admin — Sun, 20 May 2012 00:40:17 +0000

It’s not easy being Mr. Buddylee. Entertaining small children, parents, grandparents and the general adult population takes its toll. This yawning hound is not bored, just a little tired. This spontaneous meeting with three smiling siblings, on a beautiful Saturday morning, is one of the reasons our walks are now over an hour long. Happy kids are worth the wait.

Mr. Buddylee and Jack Enjoying Each Other

Seven year old Jack met Buddylee last Sunday at Hamilton House in South Berwick, Maine. A happy dog and a smiling kid, always a great partnership. A Spring wedding was being held in the magnificent gardens about 100 feet from the home, but Jack and the happy hound were ignoring the festivities and enjoying each other. Mr. Buddylee and family had just come over from a lengthly walk through the neighboring Vaughn Woods. Sunday was Jack’s 7th birthday. He was celebrating with his grandmother and Bud was happy to join in the celebration.

Mr. Buddylee Sees the Light!

Mr. Buddylee knows there is always light at the end of the tunnel. A positive thinking and happy hound is an important component in our life. Another favorite walking path of Mr. B’s is this converted railroad bed(rails to trails) that passes under one of the main streets in town. The giant metal tube that forms the tunnel wall amplifies Buddylee’s howl. CLICK HERE for a sample of his distinctive voice. At one half mile this path is part of a regular 2 mile walk.

Mr. Buddylee’s First Literary Festival.

There are many “best hound dogs in the whole wide world”. Sammy and Mr. Buddylee are two of them. Buddylee’s latest road trip was to the Newburyport, Massachusetts Literary Festival where he met the author, Barbara Walsh, of Sammy In The Sky. The life span of our canine companions is much too short, but the love packed into the brief time that we get to share with our animals is so worth it! This touching story, beautifully illustrated by Jamie Wyeth, helps kids to focus on many of the wonderfully special moments pets bring to our lives. Mr. Buddylee and family are about to press the “add to cart” button. Newburyport is a delightfully restored seaport town 20 miles North of Boston and 20 miles South of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Mr. Buddylee’s hangout.

Mr. Buddylee Packed His Bags and Left.

Left,left..left, right, left.
Mr. Buddylee packed his bags and left. The junior Coast Guard members or Sea Cadets weekly drill always includes a multi-mile run. Buddylee didn’t agree with their direction and the Cadets weren’t ready to follow the handsome hound. Bud was focused on his 1700 mile trip to New Hampshire. By the way, he arrived back to the rain-soaked, frozen North several days ago. CLICK HERE for his last roadside rest stop in Connecticut.

Mr. Buddylee: To Kayak Or Not To Kayak?

Mr. Buddylee Towing Service

Mr. Buddylee quickly realizes that his friend Susan is in a one person kayak, although he’s thinking that the tiny vessel may have some extra room for a happy hound. Then Bud’s friend enjoys the towing power of a one Bassethound motor. Although this Hound thoroughly enjoys the cooling effect of the Withlacoochee River on his belly, he prefers to have his paws on terra firma. It won’t be long before Buddylee gets to wade in Dover’s Cocheco River, a chilling experience for the next month or two.

Mr. Buddylee: Hole Digger Extraordinaire.

Mr. Buddylee Hole Digger

The latest project at the Withlacoochee Gulf Preserve is the installation of plant and tree identifying markers. Although Jack and Jean completed the post placement with the use of 2 post hole shovels, the alternative method could have been our little “hole digger”, the happy hound. Thirty holes may have been too many for Mr. Buddylee’s built-in hole-digging shovels, but there are probably half that many in our back yard. His holes are all within the shade around the house and perfectly scooped out to fit a bassethound’s belly. Training starts tomorrow on digging perfect 10″ around and 18″ deep holes. Buddylee should be available for future projects.

Mr. Buddylee: Walks on Docks.

Buddylee’s regular one to two mile morning “power” strolls take place on a variety of surfaces including the wood decking on stationary and floating docks. He is not always excited to be on the moving surfaces, but some days he surprises us. The Riverside Drive docks are all different, but the Withlacoochee River stays the same.

Mr. Buddylee With Bene: The Buddy System.

Young Bene, wants Buddylee to budge but Mr. B is ignoring the 7 pound opposing force. Bene Bravo heads North in a couple of days and Mr. Buddylee will follow him, but not for 3 weeks. The happy Hound and his family will be back in New Hampshire soon. Another photo of the duo HERE.

Mr. Buddylee Dreams of His Own Magazine.

admin — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 03:14:48 +0000

It is great fun to dream of your Bassethound being a “cover dog” on an internationally acclaimed pet magazine. With the help of a creative online tool, the dream can turn into a “visual reality”. See full sized Buddylee cover HERE.
