Pet of the Month – September 2014

Hi! My name is Buhner. For all those past Seattle Mariners’ fans my mom, Pam Wallace, named me after her favorite baseball player because when they found me at the shelter I was bald. But look how gorgeous I turned out. I had a great 12 years with my parents. They said over and over that I was the best dog they ever had and you know what? I think I was. I didn’t really like leaving the cool Northwest weather because it is pretty darn hot in Arizona. However, as long as I was with my parents I didn’t mind. I had the run of the house before we moved to Arizona, but then my mom brought home this dog they call a Dachshund. She is pretty cute, but I pretty much ignored her. Her name is Dakota. Unfortunately for my parents, I got cancer and had to leave them in January this year. I know they miss me every day. I used to love greeting them at the door with my stuffed bear that I had for over eight years and, other than missing one eye, it looked great!

My name is Dakota and I was the other dog. Even though I was small, I pretty much ran the Wallace household. Whatever I wanted, I got. What a life is that? I am only eight years old now, but for some reason I haven’t been too motivated the last two years (hard in this heat!). My parents took me to a new vet recently and I found out I have thyroid problems. Who knew? They just thought I was fat and lazy. So now I am on medication and a diet. I do not like the diet part, but hey I’ve lost two pounds already! I have been a little more motivated though (against my will) because my mom brought a new puppy home a few months ago. What’s up with that? I was good being the only dog in the house. Whatever!

My name is Blue. I’m the new one in the Wallace household and boy did I hit the lotto. This house is great! My parents take me to the dog park and for long walks (well not so much in the summer), and there is a two year old granddaughter in the house every Tuesday that likes to play with me. They talk all the time about how I am a really cute dog with my one blue eye and one brown eye. I guess I am pretty cute.
