Mr. Buddylee: Teasing the Girls.
We can’t let too many weeks pass before another Mr. Buddylee-kids image shows up on his blog. These three girls were happily distracted by the activities on the Withlacoochee River until the Happy Hound strolled to the end of this short observation/fishing dock, about a block from his home and right across from the U.S. Coast Guard Station.

Mr. Buddylee: The End of a Busy Week.
How about 2 Thanksgiving dinners? Mr. Buddylee hosted a night before dinner in his humble home, 18 friends focused on the Happy Hound. Then the traditional feast at Ellen and Dick’s house where he shared the spotlight with their female Silky Terrier Pumpkin. And there were several long trail walks over the long weekend when BL never got out of high gear, surprising 2 bicyclists who said they had never seen a Bassethound move so fast. The result of his activity-filled week is captured in this post’s photo.

Mr. Buddylee: Smart Hound with Smart Car.
By having Mr. Buddylee pose in front of a very small car(with the vehicle’s owner), I thought the Happy Hound would look much bigger. My attempt at trying to fool the eye did not work because, to me, he looks much smaller. The photo was taken across the street from the local boat ramp, where the Friends of the Withlacoochee Gulf Preserve Duck Race (see photo) was about to begin. The race is part of the Yankeetown Seafood Festival where BL is the unofficial street cleaner. Here he is at the Kettle Corn booth.

Mr. Buddylee Get’s More Than His Two Scents Worth.
The Withlacoochee Gulf Preserve’s half mile boardwalk leads to several wooded trails right on the Gulf of Mexico. Mr. Buddylee enjoys weekly patrols through the Park. The crisscrossed scents of armadillos, racoons, bobcats, wild pigs, deer and other dogs keeps his nose to the ground. The Happy Hound actually snorts as his nose pulls in the different smells. He is truly a tracking fool.

Mr. Buddylee Meets A Ladybug.
Back in the swing, Mr. Buddylee entertains the Halloween troops. This cute ladybug was more interested in the pooch than the bowl of sweets.
We made it to Florida well in advance of Sandy and, armed with bags of candy, were ready for the costumed kids. It only takes an instant for the Happy Hound to get used to his Florida surroundings. As soon as he jumped out of the van on Sunday he was grazing on the Lantana crop in the front yard, a daily ritual that doesn’t seem to negatively effect his good health. After 6 months leave, Buddylee is all ready to catch up on all the neighborhood news.

Mr. Buddylee With Pumpkin People
Pumpkin people and new friends. It doesn’t take much persuading to get young and old to sit for a photo opportunity with Mr. Buddylee. A few days ago, select lamp posts throughout downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire became the backbones for giant pumpkin puppets.
The Happy Hound will be on his way to Florida in a couple of days to celebrate Halloween in a warmer climate. He’s sad about leaving NH, but looks forward to sharing the Winter with his second set of family and friends in FL.

Mr. Buddylee Looks For A Shave and a Haircut.
This barbershop takes walk-ins, no appointment needed. It started with a thirsty hound in front of a busy shop on a Saturday afternoon. The barber took a minute out of his busy schedule to pat Mr. Buddylee, and the father and son came out to greet the Happy Hound. The star of the visit was the cute kid waiting for his trim. The young boy would have, happily, walked Buddy down the street.

Mr. Buddylee Amongst the Pumpkins.
A great location for a Fall pumpkin portrait. This scenic 78 acre family farm in Lee, NH has a 6 acre corn maze and an indoor farm stand. Does anyone know what the tall cage, in back of Mr. Buddylee, is called and what is it used for? CLICK HERE for a behind the scene photo of getting the right angle.

Mr. Buddylee Inserts Himself.
Downtown Portsmouth, NH has some great backgrounds for photo shoots. This wedding couple also had the benefit of a great foreground, Mr. Buddylee. The professional photographer was attempting to frame this young couple when the beautiful bride was handed a braided leash and the Happy Hound stepped into perfect position. Can you tell that the couple was extremely upset with the third member of the portrait?

Mr. Buddylee Ramps Up.
Mr. Buddylee’s ramp should come out of storage before my back goes out. Last week my timing was off so our 48 pounder had an emergency refresher course in ramp training. The ramp has been used in the past and the Happy Hound didn’t need a refresher course. It’s a lot easier getting him in the van up an inclined plane than me bending at the knees and reaching under his body. We were off to Dorset, Vermont for the weekend and next week’s blog entry will include some of the images.
