Meet our most recent foster boy. He came to us as Tweedle, a name that was given to him by the shelter that picked him up as a stray quite a while ago. Our grand daughters tried to help us find a new name for him and we discovered he didn't seem to have preference for any that we tried. The best they came up with was "Mister Sir" - he is such a gentleman and Buddy - because he is a real Buddy!
Tweedle-Bud might be too cutesie but it does sometimes suit him!
This fellow plays well with others; including dogs, the elderly and children. Very well mannered, he even barks quietly! Mind you he can bellow out a good loud bark too but usually he's quiet when guarding the back yard from marauding squirrels and birds with just a little "woof" under his breath. Very nice for the neighbors!
He knows to sit, though stay does't last long. He hasn't tried to find a way out of the yard yet; warning; he's a very independent guy and will take off if left to his own, he is very adventurous, not shy or timid. We're fairly sure he hasn't experienced any abusive treatment, he seems to have come from a loving home and settles in well where he knows he's safe and appreciated.
We've helped him heal a sore paw that is now good as new and knowing all his tests came back with flying colors we're hoping a happy, loving family will be coming to take him to his new forever home soon. Mind you, he's welcomed to stay as long as it takes but we're certain there's a family out there looking for a fellow just like this Handsome Gentleman.

- I celebrate nature, the natural world and the human spirit immersed within it. My passion is in sharing the simple reminders the garden and nature share with me. Through my photographic adventures I've learned something we humans often overlook; We are a part of Nature, not apart from it! That we are human spirits immersed within this magical, miraculous and beautiful world. Understanding this fundamental truth has been changing my life in lovely ways. I look forward to and welcome further developments this focus provides and hope you might be inspired to reconnect with the natural world around you!
