Buddy

Buddy my friend you came to my house unwanted by me. Loved by our Man, and Dragged in by the little girl that our man just Couldn't tell NO! So many times I have returned home UN-afraid because I knew you took good care of your duties as guard to your "people". So many times I have carried you with me to keep me safe as I went about doing my jobs as Mom even when those jobs came after dark. I was never afraid when you and your growl rode shotgun. I have watched you run for a ball even when they hid it and just made you run for the fun of it. I have seen you turn cartwheels for the same ball bounced just out of your reach. No wonder you made them fight you for the ball every time you did bring it close enough for them to get a grip on it. I would have done the same. So many dogs have come and gone since you came here as Just a flea bitten bundle of skinny bones. Some say that animals don't have a heaven But I think if they do, You are surely there! I will miss you Buddy!

Oh...we have known the loss of such a loved dog. It is a grief that you just can't explain to someone who doesn't understand that bond. So sad, I'm sorry for your loss of that beloved friend. ~ Love, Carrie
