I've been wondering what I am going to talk about on this blog. It's been great developing a discipline about writing often and I would prefer not to lose that. Today is my birthday. Celebrating 46 years. Entering my 47th. Yesterday we celebrated BuddyJack Day.
BuddyJack came into our lives as a wandering dog in the Merrimaker. It was getting late in the night and the bartender, Lindsey, suggested we take him home due to the fact we were "dog people." We did bring him home and took a picture of him the following morning. I posted some signs around the neighborhood asking if anybody lost a dog. Tom made sure that I didn't name him, so not to get attached.
About a week later, I got a phone call about Buddy. Yes, I did name him after a few days. He had become a part of the family and I was sad that someone was calling to claim him. We set up a day and a time for the owner to come retrieve Buddy.
His human came and we chatted about Buddy for a short while. It seemed that Buddy was a runner and it had cost the owner huge amounts of monies for fines from the dog catcher. The owner was thinking about giving him to a ranch or somewhere else. I found my in and stated that I would keep him. The man said OK and let me know that his name was Jack.
It was my birthday two years ago and BuddyJack was my gift. He got his new name from our friend Sam. I liked Buddy. His name was Jack. Sam said "Call him BuddyJack!" Perfect. Last year his name was placed on the calendar as BuddyJack Day, October 24.
Today, after Tom quit his job yesterday, we are going to register as Domestic Partners in order for him to get on my insurance plans. I am also going to learn how to crochet today. It's going to be an interesting few months ahead. Looking forward to it.
