This week I thought I would introduce you to my very first best friend, Buppy.

Buppy and I started our journey together in 1978. We became quick friends. His ears (one missing now), and U-shaped body made it easy for my little hands to carry him. He was given the name Buppy because I had a problem saying puppy. We have been everywhere together. Buppy travelled with me up until about 2 years ago, I was always too superstitous to leave him at home. He slept in bed every night, despite the teasing I received from my friends.

I didn't realize it at the time, but I think when Henri came into my life 3 years ago, Buppy's spirit came alive in him. He is my real live Buppy.

Hi Bree

Great photo of Buppy, if he could talk the stories he could tell of the travels and experiences he has had. I remeber the time when you were about four years old and he got lost one rainy day in Michigan, the tears and the joy upon our return to see that someone has turned him in at the store lost and found.

It is wonderful to see him

The old guy in the frozen north
