Travel has made it tough for me to have a dog the last few years, but the current pandemic has removed that barrier. I saw Buddy Lee in the instagram feed of a local rescue, and after two weeks of regularly checking on his status, put in an application to adopt. We had a week filled with adventures before his surgery, which required him to wear a cone for two weeks. Here he poses for his first “official” portrait as an adopted pup.
