So the adventures of Bubba and Ben begin! About a month ago, Ben decided that it was time for someone to step up and really help our family train Bubba and get him on a routine schedule. With the passing of my Dad two years ago, Bubba has been through A LOT! losing his orignial master and also getting hit by a car in the 2008 summer. Bubba is a 2 1/2 year old black lab who just needs extra love, time, care, and attention. He probably weighs about 112 lbs. at this point and will eat anything that he can get his hands on. So the adventures of B & B have been going pretty well so far. Ben began all of this by gearing up with a "Bubba Bag," a few tennis balls, a tennis raquet, some treats, and a huge bone to keep Bubba busy. The mornings usually start off around 5am with Bubba barking outside my door ready to start his day. This is because he is hungry. Getting fed can only be followed by going outside, but now because of Ben it has turned into his walking time. Ben found the best leash gear ever for this huge pile of love. There is a harness that wraps around Bubba then a leash with two options of grip depending if you want a close grab or you want to allow Bubba a little room to breathe. I am not sure if Ben knew what he was getting himself into because Bubba is truly not like any other dog. Not only is his laborador build extra huge but his bark is piercing, his poop gigantic, and at this point he basically things he is king of our household among 4 women.
It is a huge help to my family in ways words can't really describe. Bubba is so happy to have a male companion and it is so healing to see these resposibilites shared with someone I truly love. Bubba love love loves the dog park in Colonial Park and I can't wait for Ben to see Bubba swim at Round Valley for the very first time, very very soon!!
