Buddy, The Mighty Lizard Hunter - Suspected Pituitary Macro Tumor

It has been 10 days since Buddy left me. I miss him so much! I miss him smiling so wide when I came home that he closed off his nostrils and would sneeze continuously. I miss him being the last one I see at night and the first one I see in the morning. I miss days off and breaks, when we could cuddle a little longer in the morning. I miss his crazy lizard hunts and bird alerts, I miss him on guard duty in the window when I got home. I miss so many things that I took or granted. Most of all, I miss him being there no matter what. Rosie is adorable, loving and sweet, but she's not The Mighty Lizard Hunter!:o

Kathy:
Buddy was a special star in his own right. I loved getting on the site and hearing about his adventures. You have kept yourself together remarkably well, I probably will not be as together as you when Tipper's time comes. Her and I are joined at the hip. She has quite an extensive vocabulary that she understands from me talking to her all day long. She is the best friend that I have ever had. Seeing what happens to these babies and knowing what her fate is sickens me when I think of it. She is a permanent part of my identity, you never see me without her. I just would not know how to act without her, and that is scary. I don't think you took anything Buddy did for granted. You loved him with all your heart, and did the most unselfish thing a loving owner could do for him. That is unconditional love any way you look at it. That is one thing about this group when they say they know what you are going thru they really do. God Bless you and sweet Buddy.

:(:( I am so sorry Kathy. I know it hurts so much to miss someone you loved with all your heart.

hugs..

Kathy.

I've been off line for weeks, and I just read through your thread about Buddy. I am so sorry for your pain, but glad that he didn't have to suffer. It takes a strong and special person to do the right thing, and Buddy was a lucky guy to have you there to do it for him.

I'm heading over to see the pics now and check on Rosebud's thread. I was chanting, "get a puppy, get a puppy, get a puppy" as I read, and then yelped a cheer when you posted that you were going to be able to get one. I think it is important that when there is space in the home of a dog lover, that another dog gets to live the good life. They don't replace the other furbaby, but they certainly do help, and it means there is one less homeless baby in the world. Hugs to you.

Sending huge and loving hugs to you, dear Kathy.

Henrietta,
I am honored that you read through Buddy's thread as there is more than 1000 posts!:eek: Thank you so much for your message of support. The angels here on this site have saved my sanity. I will be forever grateful to all of you.:) Big hugs,

We need you as much as you need us Kathy.

I second that Valerie!

Ah you guys, you're gonna make me start crying again;) big hugs,

Kathy,
I really miss hearing about Buddy! Can't believe 10 days has gone by...seems like so much has happened. What you were going through the last few days with him, and now with a new puppy. It's been a difficult and sad time for you...but I think you made all the right decisions...right thru to getting Rosie.
He was such a happy loving dog and you gave him such a great full life. Of course you miss him like crazy! Rosie isn't a replacement for Buddy but thank goodness you have her! You two need each other now! :p
