So, one of the coolest things about Gege and Papa living in our yard is that they brought their sweet dog, Buddy, with them. He is a huge, yellow lab with the sweetest retriever personality and (thankfully) he seems to enjoy playing with kids. Trent has claimed him as his Best Friend. He loves playing with him, tirelessly throwing his toy (even when Buddy no longer retrieves it), and laying on or near him. Buddy has definitely gotten more exercise than he's ever wanted thanks to Trent's high energy level.
Buddy and Dixie have gotten along extremely well! They are both respectful of each other's space and sit in separate locations. Dixie claims the back porch and Buddy prefers the garage. He has his own huge bed in the garage, but he prefers to put his large body on top of Dixie's tiny bed (which is actually a cat bed!!) and he looks hilarious!
Anyway, we are thankful that Buddy and Dixie have adjusted well to their new arrangements and have definitely enjoyed having a silly dog around--Dixie doesn't have time for games and nonsense like "fetch". And, one of the coolest things about having Buddy here is that Bradley (our non-dog-lover) has gotten more used to him. He still doesn't want to pet or be around Buddy, but he feels comfortable enough walking around with him in the same vicinity. That is a win-win all the way around!
