Hi RAGOM friends & family....I'm here, I'm here!! My name is Buddy & I'm a 12-week-old purebred Golden Retriever. I made the long trip from my old home where I lived with a very special lady (foster mommy said she's a breeder) & when she found out how special I am (I have a heart condition) she contacted RAGOM to find me a very special special family. I am now staying with my foster family & they have 5 furry dog friends & 2 very odd furry critters called cats, plus I get 3 kids to share until I find my forever home.

Foster mommy took me took the vet where the nice lady said I weighed almost 25 pounds, gave me some yucky puppy shots & medicine & then did lots of poking & prodding...I didn't mind, though, cuz it was just like a funny belly rub. She said I have something called aortic stenosis which sounds really bad, but I get to see somebody called a cardiologist to help find out how to best help me grow big & strong. I already had something called an echo where they shaved part of my belly & then took special pictures of my heart to see how it works. The vet lady told foster mommy that it means something really bad if some number is bigger than 100, but mine was only 60, so maybe it's not as bad as we think. We'll find out more on Tuesday, so please keep me in your thoughts & prayers.

I am a special little guy that needs a little extra vet care right now. RAGOM doesn't mind helping me at all cuz that's just what they do but if you think I'm adorable & want to help take care of me, I'm sure they wouldn't mind some extra help.

Time for bed,

The Budster
