It's Buddy Taylor! His pix never got on the web and a senior woman adopted both him and Maddy, a l0 yr pom. She already had a l2 yr pom.

Last summer I left you for my new home in Palmdale. I really like it here. I immediately hada brother Rocky (18) and a sister Misty (11) and with me we made a happy threesome. Right away they liked me and I really liked them too! We all ran and played together and I was very happy I ended up with a good home. I also have two cats that are my friends, Zorro (3) and Xeena (1½). At first the cats just looked at me a lot, but my winning smile and friendliness won them over in no time at all. Eventually all 5 of us became a family. Oops lets not forget the two people who adopted me I love them too. I’m happy in my new home and with all my new family members. I love everyone. There is only one thing that made me just a little sad. My older brother Rocky passed away a few months after I arrived. That made all of us very sad. We all loved him and will miss him very much. Other than that I think I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. This is my first Christmas in my new home and it’s lots of fun. I have lots of squeaky toys, a warm fireplace and cushy cushy pillows. We have lots of Christmas decorations inside and outside too. I keep looking out the window cause I hear that sometimes we get snow. And, I have been promised that when it snows I can run and play in it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen snow, let alone play in it. I’m not sure I even know what it is but it sure sounds like fun. Right now I have a big house and a big back yard. I like running around real fast. Sometimes I even smell something and start barking while I track it. I think I’m getting good at it.

My new owners tell me I’m such a good boy and I believe them. I follow directions well and hardly ever get into any mischief. Well it’s getting late now and I guess it’s time for me to go to sleep. I like to sleep; after all I am a growing puppy. Anyway I think it’s time for me to finish up my little letter. I wanted to send you special thanks. Thank you for taking care of me and finding me a new home. I hope all the friends I left behind at Beagles & Buddies find a good home too! I hope they find a family as great as mine! Thanks again!!!!!!!! Love Always,Woody (AKA Whitty Smitty) [Feb. 01, 2002]
