Bud At Splash Again

THIS LIFT MAKE IT EASY ON THE DOGS

CHRIS, TH E OWNER KNOW HOW TO MOTIVATE DOGS TO SWIM

Bud is getting older and is struggling with 2 flights of stairs when he plays At the beach, the other day it was very warm when we went to the beach. I let Bud play 20 minutes, I should had him play for 10 minutes. On the way home saw how tired he was. My job is to make sure that doesn't happen again. Today I took him to swim in a warm dog pool. He loved it. I am now taking him on shorter walks and the beach less often. Bud loves swimming. Bud also loves playing in our yard with the frisbee. After 10 minutes he is so happy and tired. We do this 2 a day. For now the swimming will keep his hind legs strong.

Bud is still an active old dog.....................I know what to do to keep him moving as long as possible.

   ITS ALL ABOUT LOVE ! 

Buddy Loves Bath Time

It was a warm day and Buddy was due for his monthly bath. Tawnya got the honor.....watch the video how much Bud enjoys being pampered. Tawnya has her heart stolen by Buddy. She can't help Bud is a lover boy!

Bud Loves His Afternoon Play Time

Dogs love routine, every morning Bud goes to the beach for his playtime. Bud waits for this special time. I no longer want Bud to carry his stick or ball in his mouth. He hesitates on the steep beach stairs. So my job is to make it easier for him. So i carry a big ball in my fanny pack. Once he is on the sand he gets to play.. He digs,digs digs and after 10 or 15 minute he wants me to throw the ball. We do this at least 10 minutes. My throws go no more than 8 ft . Perfect for old Bud. My old arm gets sore if I throw longer!
Then I let him rest for a bit the we walk up the stairs. Some times, I give him a little treat. When he climbs the stairs, I give him a drink of water. He likes to take his time sniffing ever plant down the path to the street.
When we get home, Bud lays in the sun or come in house and sleeps. After dinner when get on my inside scotter he is ready for more play. He gets so happy, I love making him so happy. Look at that face waiting for the ball.
I am the lucky one, Blessed with this boy.

Bud Helps Mom On Cold Windy Day --According to Bud

This afternoon the beach was cold and windy. Mom took me to our beach anyway. We played with my beach old red frizbee. Mom can throw it. Her back gets tired now because mom says  shes not young anymore. Then she sits down on the stairs and throws.She makes me put it in her hand or she wouldn't play. When I bark at her to go faster, she looks away. (Rude)
Today as we left I carried the frizbee  up the stairs as i usually let Mom pick it up.
(She says i'm lazy.)
Mom climbed all the beach stairs and then she looked down and saw my old beach frizbee on the bottom of the stairs.
Mom looked at me and said," BUDDY GET THE FRIZBEE OR WE LEAVE IT HERE.  I ran down the stairs and got the toy and i carried it up all the way to Mom.
Mom said what a good boy I guess you are ready for dinner. Yes home for food. What a good girl.

Helping Old Bud Play

Now that both me and Bud are seniors some thing have to change. Like I can't walk on the beach alone anymore.  I suffer with arthritis too. Bud has it in his left knee from when he blew his knee out when he was five. He was in awesome shape as he is now. He is on a wonder drug from the vet and i have for many years given him fatty acids. Now is eye sight is different not so sharp as when he was young. He needs help finding balls or a small stick at the beach. Now i bring down a bigger colored ball or a colored frizbee. It helps him find the toy because he never has looked where its going.Bud just goes is shearch mode with his nose. I say to him"Buddy use the good nose you were born with baby. He runs in wide circles. His nose is still very keen. Several days ago the morning was drearly and when i woke up Bud was not in my bed. I got up early that am because i couldn't fall asleep again.

I put his food out and still no Bud, i ate my breakfast and still no Bud. I started tripping out. I thought oh my God he died! I called and called. No Bud.Then i looked in my bedroom room and saw him sleeping. I came close to make sure he was still breathing! Oh the stress over an older dog! Buddy mother live to be 13 or 14. she was in good shape too. 

Dogs do not fear death we do the worrying for them. They live in the moment to the fullest of fun.I moan every am when i do my exercises,  I never hear Bud moan. Bud gives me a job every day to keep me happy. I take him to play at the beach and my day gets happy. Dog know the rule of peace and joy. My job is to take care of my boy for as long as he lives, this keeps me going forward.
By the way Bud does know how old he is --to him he is 2 going on 3! Bud loves his new red frizbee.
