Buzzy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Buzzy
Age: Five year old
Gender: Male Breed: Lhasa, Poodle, Schnauzer Mix
Home: Victoria, Texas, USA
 
   Buzzy is special for so many reasons. I adopted him from Adopt A Pet, a non euthanizing agency which rescued him from the city dog pound. At the time of his rescue, he was badly matted and was infested with ticks and fleas. They lovingly bathed him, treated him,cut his hair and gave him the name of Buzz. I did not change his name as it is very appropriate since he buzzes around so busily. I adopted him partly to become a playmate for my Lhasa Apso who had a genetic condition and was not expected to have a long life. They became the best of buddies. That Lhasa died and now Buzzy has a new playmate, another Lhasa Apso who I rescued from Lhasa Rescue.

    Buzzy loves to chase bugs, lizards, and frogs in the back yard. He also climbs the mesquite tree where he has a good view of his back yard and has access to the bird feeder and the seed, to which he sometimes helps himself. Buzzy has a compulsion to take one of my socks to the yard when he goes out. If the sock is not readily available, he searches for it. But he is a good dog, and will go get it and bring it in on command. I believe he has the cutest personality of any dog I have ever known. He is not much of a daytime lap dog as he is so busy playing, but when bedtime comes, you will find him under the covers as close to "mom" as he can get.
