Our Buddy

[rookiemum]

Our Buddy had a really bad night last night, pacing, whimpering, crying. He saw a different vet today and she also was certain he has Lymphoma. We decided to let him go.

Hi Pam,
Who would have ever thought Bailey would outlive Buddy, it must have been real bad for you to let him go.
To see him suffer all night must have been so hard , you did right by Buddy no need to beat yourself up over that.
I still freak myself out thinking what if I had the funds to give Buster one more bladder surgery would I have put him threw that all over again?
As much as I miss that dog and I still do so very much ,deep in my heart I would have made the same choice for him all over again.
ITS is grieving that sets us back and that just takes time.
I am so sorry for your loss, I know what a sad household you must be living in today.
Tears and hugs for you and yours.

You know the only ones who grieve are those of us left behind. Buddy is playing, warm and free, his sight and hearing returned, no pain, no confusion. And when it is time, you will all be reuinited again. Take comfort in knowing that it wasn't a long, drawn out thing for him and his crossing was peaceful.

I'm sorry for your loss. He had a long life filled with family and companionship and love, and it is wonderful that he lived to 14. The expected lifespan of a dalmatian is 11-14, he was very, very old. I hope you can take comfort in knowing what a great life he had, he couldn't have asked for better.

Nooo!! Not your beautiful Buddy! Pam, there are no words to give comfort, only hugs and I wish I were closer. Your Buddy was the luckiest pup in the world to have you as his mom, his champion, his caregiver, his love. I am so very sorry for your loss. He is free of pain, discomfort and nightmares now, and hold on to that. It will give you comfort. Whenever I get choked up about Jude, I remember his days of pain are over and that helps. You will miss your Buddy like CRAZY! Talk to him. It helps. Talk to him, cry with him, celebrate his life. I am so very sorry. Tails are lowered today. You have my deepest sympathy. He was a beautiful boy. Simply beautiful.

My prayers are with you and your family. Sincerely, Jean
