Remember Buddha, the english bulldog who went missing in Seattle back in February? By the grace of your favorite higher power, he was found relatively safe and sound, returned to his family three weeks later.

Today we met Buddha & family at a thank you/birthday celebration for the little guy. I cannot imagine losing Spike, so I didn't hesitate to help however I could despite being in the midst of the IFB conference during New York Fashion Week. It was so great to meet Buddha and his family in person to exchange hugs, stories and slobbery doggy kisses in the cold rain. Buddha's mom also remembered meeting Meatball a long time ago and gave me a pic of him with their Frenchie! It is truly a small world. Bulldog life is grand.

Happy birthday Buddha, and welcome home!
