I know he was special and we all loved hearing you talk about him. You must miss him so much. Your mother and your other dogs must be lost without him. How is Molly holding up. I don't know why, but losses seem to cluster like this.
I think Buddy is the dog that got you started towards your career. He taught you while you were teaching him.
He shared 14 wonderful years with you. I wish it could have been longer, but the time you had together was good.
Big hugs from everyone here. We all know what it is like and we feel for you.
This was a really hard blow. I knew he was getting older and slowing down. The past few months his back end was getting worse. My mom had taken him Saturday morning and they did an x-ray of his stomach and back. It came back he had a mass in his stomach and possibly 2 ruptured discs. My mom brought him home but decided that Monday we would take him to be put to sleep. Unfortunately with all the moving I think it aggervated something. He stopped eating and drinking and was hollering in pain. We were given some powerful meds to try and help with the pain but even after 4 pills he slept for maybe 10 minutes then woke back up. He should have been knocked out. My cousins husband is a vet so we called him and ran Buddy out there that night because he was in too much pain. I wont get into the actual ride it was too horrible.
I'll have to upload some videos of him. I have a lot over the course of his life. Lots of pictures too. I'm just starting to dig threw them.
