2006 March Pet of the Month Winner "Buddy" Ripley

I am a chocolate mini-daschund.

My masters Andi and Rip named me that because that's how everyone greeted me - "Hi, Buddy!" Besides, what else would they name their favorite little buddy?

My favorite toy is a purple stuffed dinosaur named "Dino".

My age in dog or cat years is 14.

Something funny that happened to me was the time it snowed a lot and I got so excited I ran and jumped off the back steps and POOF! I disappeared! The snow was deeper than I thought...

My masters love me so much that three weeks after taking me home, they went back to get my baby brother Coalby because I just missed him so much!

I am so spoiled that I even get to sleep in the big bed with mom, dad, and Coalby.

I have been a patient at Animal Clinic and Hospital for 2 years where Dr. Kline does my checkups.
