Buggs came into my life in 2005 and I realized that he had a very playful personality and needed to be challenged in mentally stimulating ways. He's a natural at picking things up with his mouth
and in a very short time he learned to drop a ball through a hoop, open a mailbox and retrieve the mail, ring a bell, smile, bow, pound out notes on an electronic keyboard, and paint.
Creating paintings together (he does the painting, I pick out the colors) has stretched me as an artist and I like that we spend the time together in a positive way. Many paintings have been donated to help raise funds for various horse charities.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel recently visted Buggs.

Buggs was also featured on Fox News! You can listen in on their conversation with Carol here.
