More: Buddy is a rescue blessing. He is so kind. He’ll leave the room if someone on TV yells or fights. He is so smart. He points with his eyes and he understands a personal sign language he and Mom developed together. When he wants to go outside he rings a bell. We love our Buddy. He was rescued after a year in the pound + Humane Society. When we brought him home he hugged each one of us, one-by-one, as if to say “thank you”, then went and sat in the corner as if to say, “I’ll be no trouble.” And he hasn’t been anything but pure joy! He loves his ORVIS beds.
