Button the dog......





Button is our ten year old poodle. He was given to us from a friend and he seemed so small then about the size of a hamster. The person who gave him to us was concerned that we wouldn't like him because he had brown ears. What a deal, brown ears and a button nose.
Button use to be an only child dog wise but we did have a yellow cat that sort of ignored him, but now he has adjusted to the newer Border Collie and the Manx kitten. He was really frightened of this wild collie dog as he never sat still and he was 4 times bigger than him. It took him a while to get use to him so we had to carry Button everywhere all over the house as he didn't want to be on the floor. The same is true when he is around the kitten now as she rushes at him and tries to push him over bodily. Button is our great traveler as he has put in many a mile with us when we did our Minnesota painting trips. We have pictures of him sitting in the van front seat while we loaded the van, waiting so we would be sure not to leave him behind.
He is need of a haircut right now. He gets this non poodle look like a scruffy mongrel and when we do get him cut, he looks like this femie little dog. You can't see his pointed nose right now but someday we will free him from lots of fur. Thanks for reading.
