BUDDY & ME

***** RIGHT AT TEN YEARS AGO CHILI PEPPER CAME HOME WITH A PUPPY . HE WAS A BLACK & WHITE PA-PILLION WEIGHTING FOUR POUNDS . 

 CHILI PEPPER SAID SHE JUST LOVED HIM ,HE  HAD SO MUCH PERSONALITY . SHE SAID SHE HOPED WE COULD KEEP HIM .

 BUDDY DISPLAYED HIS REMARKABLE INTELLIGENCE BY KNOWING HE HAD TO GET IN GOOD WITH THE FAT GUY IN THE LEATHER CHAIR . BUD MANAGED THIS BY CRAWLING ON MY SHOULDER & GOING TO SLEEP . 

 THIS WAS THE START OF OUR TIME WITH BUDDY . BUDDY IS THE MOST STRONG WILLED DOG EVER . CHILI PEPPER HAS SOME CONTROL BUT BUDDY CALLS THE SHOTS WITH POP-POP.

 IF ONE OF US IS SITTING BUDDY WILL BE IN OUR LAP . WHEN WE GO TO BED BUDDY DOES TOO . RIGHT BETWEEN US AS TIGHT AS HE CAN SNUGGLE UP . YOU BETTER GO TO BED ON TIME ALSO .  

 I DON'T RECALL BUDDY SPENDING A NIGHT APART FROM BOTH OF US . HE. HAS BEEN WITH US ON MOST TRIPS WE HAVE MADE .

 SINCE I HAVE HAD HEALTH PROBLEMS ,BUD & I ARE TOGETHER 24/7 . BUDDY HAS BEEN A LOT OF LOVE & COMPANY FOR ME .

 BUDDY WILL BE 10 YEARS OLD IN A FEW WEEKS, HE IS UP TO TEN POUNDS NOW . HE IS STILL AS SOFT AS HE WAS AS A PUPPY .

 I CAN TELL BUDDY IS REALLY SLOWING DOWN AS TIME GOES BY. MANY DAYS I WONDER WHO WILL REACH THE FINISH LINE FIRST, ME OR BUDDY .

  I AM GLAD BUDDY CAME TO LIVE WITH US .BUDDY IS BOTH LOVED & LOVES .

***** HARASSMENT & BULLY BEHAVIOR IS REPORTED IN AREA FOOTBALL TEAMS . THIS HAS GONE ON FOREVER . I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF TEAMS & GROUPS THAT HARASSED . 
 HARASSMENT IN MY DAY WAS NOT AS BAD AS THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING TODAY. BUT THEY WERE NOT HARMLESS . 

 HUMILIATION DOES NOT MAKE ONE FEEL LIKE ONE OF THE GROUP . TEAM SPIRIT IS NOT DEVELOPED BY BULLY BEHAVIOR . IT ONLY DIVIDES .

 THE BEST POLICY IS NO HARASSMENT OF ANY KIND . IF YOU CAN'T RESPECT YOUR TEAMMATES THEN YOU SHOULDN'T BE PART OF THE TEAM .
