Adam's pets were such a big part of his life so I have to write a little story about each of them. First, I remember Adam telling me how his favorite day at St. Margaret's school was the pet parade day. All the kids would bring their dogs and cats and walk in a little parade outside. Adam of course had to be different so he would bring a snake to freak out all the young girls in his class and especially his teacher.
I think the three main loves in Adam's life though were Freckles, Buddy, and Charlie. Adam was so proud of how fat Freckles was and many of his friends didn't even know her name. They only knew her as fat cat. I am glad that she is keeping him company!
Ahh Buddy! I had the joy of keeping Buddy with Adam for a whole summer. Buddy was attracted to trashcans like a magnet to a fridge. Whenever Adam and I would get home and let Buddy out we would have to put the house in what we termed "lockdown." Any room with a trashcan had to have the door closed. No matter how defiant Buddy was Adam loved him so much. The funniest part about that summer was that Buddy had to get a cone on his head after an infection on his elbow joint. Adam and I would laugh so hard watching Buddy crash into the cabinets, cover the whole food bowl with the cone when he would eat, and push Charlie and me no less around with the force of the cone. We eventually started calling Buddy "Uncle Bud" for his relationship to our Charlie. I think Adam's favorite characteristic of Buddy was his love to cuddle. Buddy would cuddle up on the couch with Adam and lay in the bed like a person with his head on the pillow. When we got our new digital camera, Adam wanted to test it out so our first picture is of me and Buddy in the bed. We were laughing sooo hard when taking the picture because Buddy acted like it was so natural.
Adam and I talked so much in college how we wanted our own dog. The week after we got back from our honeymoon we went to a lady's home in Abbeville and picked out our child. We didn't take her home right away so Adam met up with the breeder in Baton Rouge and brought her home to New Orleans. I couldn't go that day b/c I was working and when I opened the door to the house this black fur ball with a big pink bow came hopping towards me. Adam was so attached to Charlie and told me many times how he couldn't imagine having a better dog than her. Adam trained her very well, even teaching her how to bring beers to him. This became helpful after his knee surgery.
We also had a short addition, our "Little Ole Lucy" as our vet would say. Every morning I was usually the first to get up and the dogs would make their one allowed run into the bedroom to give Adam his morning kisses. Lucy would whine in his face because for a while she couldn't jump on the bed. I am so glad that Adam convinced me we should get a German Shepard because Charlie is so sweet and protective.
