A dog, a boy, a hill and a ball
June 7th, 2007If I live to be 300, I will always remember and treasure the moments I experienced on Saturday nite.
As Jonathon and I walked Buddy, we sat on a hill and Jonathon began to throw a tennis ball to Buddy. It only took two or three tries before Buddy was catching the ball in midair in his mouth.
Then the really amazing thing happened - with Jonathon at the bottom of the hill and Buddy at the top, Buddy would catch the ball and then lay it on the ground so it would roll back to Jonathon, so they could play catch.
Definitely goes on my list of “coolest moments in life so far” and gets me misty all over again just writing about it.

Buddy sounds like he is very smart! I read about Buddy in our local paper this morning and Buddy’s story is refreshing. He is very lucky he found you as his new owners.

Wow, Buddy is intelligent and has found some wonderful caretakers! I enjoyed the video / stories about him and hope there will be more, this is a great website. I too was a caretaker of a dog named Buddy, who passed away in 1999 and I miss him dearly. My Buddy companion was a beagle mix who slept in my lap as I read or watched TV, loved to go for walks and rides in the car.
