Buttons - Edward, 11 August 2025

We found Buttons in a doggie pet shop when she was 4 months old and she is now 3 and a half years old. She has been an absolute joy for every single day she has been with us and as such is completely spoilt by us. She is as they say of the breed a velcro dog and is with us all the time other than when she is at doggie nursery. Her level of intelligence in a dog is something we have not experienced before but she almost reads our minds. She is warm, comforting and knows exactly if someone feels down and will not leave them. This breed is the closest to having a baby and just a total joy to have around. She has a very inquisitive and totally loving and adoring nature but prone to the occasional barking if someone comes to the door a kind of miniature guard dog but thoroughly wonderful to have around. Her nature is such that we think she reads our minds on Occassion. Note loves being pampered and part of any crowd as is a real show off but you cannot help but adore her she calms both the home down and even the office staff who can't wait for her to come in after her nursery. A further point will not eat any old commercial dog food has me making her home cooked food which I do in bulk but extremely selective about what she will eat so best not to get too adventurous just cook basics protein and vegetable but do not attempt to feed any old scraps she needs only the best. All in all it has been three and a half years of fun, adventure and bliss with a huge amount of laughter since Buttons joined the household and she has lifted the spirits of many many people in our circle and since she deigned to be a part of our family, She is not just a dog she is part human and an integral part of our family and business unit and literally an angel in disguise. Checkout this breed I think you will quickly realize just how special this breed is and how they change your life for the better by just being with you. An absolute pleasure to have around from the very first day we met and hopefully for many more years yet.
