Bud the Dog 419

Ok, I admit it, I'm a dog person. Bud is my constant companion and way up the list of things that mean a lot to me. [The Girl knows enough not to ask who's number one...] Bud's daily job is to protect the river that borders our property from Satan's army of ducks and squirrels. This he does with the dedication of a palace guard, a duty that almost always involves getting wet and sandy. I caught Bud on watch for a second attack after a chasing a flock of ducks downriver. He never catches them, and the same ducks come back everyday, so I'm not sure who enjoys the routine more.
