BUDDY THE WONDER DOG
Irene's dog, Buddy, loves to pull a special trick. Literally, it is a "pulling" trick! He will pull a blanket over his body whenever he gets chilly. He has plenty of soft, fleece throws to choose from as well! Irene has throws all over her apartment so that he never has to go far to get a littler warmer.
Of course, most of the warmth in the home comes from Irene's deep love for Buddy. She adopted him when he had no home and continues to help him through an assortment of health issues. She keeps all different kinds of special treats he can eat in different "cubbyholes" in a hanging treat display that covers her bedroom door!
Buddy is no picky eater, however. No need to buy him the best organic snacks the world has to offer. He's very content with a simple MacDonald's hamburger or KFC chicken leg! Unfortunately, his stomach is not quite so accommodating as his palate, however. He has to be treated to special dog food to avoid severe pancreatitis. Fortunately, he enjoys fancy food just as much as he does homestyle!
Whether it's filet mignon or a Milk Bone® dog biscuit, Buddy is blissfully happy just so long as he can share meals with his hero, saint, and mama: sweet, sweet Irene.
