"Buddy" - The New Addition to the Family

This is "Buddy" 8 weeks old - May 2007
Buddy is the latest addition to our family. Buddy was found under a wooded area, during the harsh cold weather MD had experienced lately. He was cuddled up in the belly of his mother - a pure bred rottweiler in Garrett County MD. Both were in survival mode - Buddy's mom trying to keep herself and her baby warm in order to survive the bitter cold night.
Tails of Hope rescue group found him and his mom. Sadly his mother didn't make it - at 5 weeks old Buddy was left without a mom. Tails of Hope rescued him - I immediately volunteered to foster the little guy.
After a few days in a warm home with plenty of food, water and some big foster sisters to play with - Buddy very quickly settled in and began to regain his strength and health.
After being well integrated into my family - how could I really let him go!!!
On May 25th 2007 - I made a decision to adopt the little guy - I know if he could talk he would be just saying "thank you " mom LOL!!!!
Here are some pictures of the little guy.. enjoy.
He is 8 weeks old in these pictures. He actually looks like a brown rottie with a docked tail.. how cute is he!!!
