A boy and his dog.......

Well, a boy and his brother's dog. :o)  Buddy is technically Matthew's dog... a chocolate Lab.  Besides the typical chewing problems that go along with Lab puppies, he has been the best dog ever!  We got him last summer when he was just a couple of months old.  He and Myles have become best friends.  Myles stays with him all day long.  The only problem with that is that wherever Buddy wanders, Myles does too. 
 Myles has been caught going where he has been told not to go on several occasions.  He is always quick to blame Buddy.  I have seen Myles follow Buddy,  but I have also watched Buddy follow Myles.
 Last night I watched Myles go back to the barn (he isn't supposed to go that far from the house.)  Buddy was following him when one of our roosters went to attack Myles. Buddy charged the rooster and saved Myles from a spurring!  I have always heard that Labs are protective of children so it was neat to see it in action.


 The field beyond this fence is another "off limits" place that the two of them have wandered.

 I called Myles to the porch and told him it was time for his bath.
 Telling Buddy goodnight.

See ya tomorrow, Buddy..........
