Buddy


It is about time Buddy got a mention. He is a true friend for Barb's mum. She is allowed to have him at the village because he came with her, a special gift from her husband Brian a few years before he died.

Buddy has such a quirky personality. On our visit with Mum, Peter became convinced that Buddy understood a lot from our conversations in the unit. He would know by the way we spoke that soon we would be going out and leaving him. He hates those times. Even if Barb's mum says nothing to him, he can tell what she intends doing for the day by the clothes she pulls out of the wardrobe. His eyes, and body movement is full of expression that in turn conveys to us what he thinks of the situation. And in the minutes before we go out he will be found sitting quietly, out of sight, behind the divan.
