Buddy, The Mighty Lizard Hunter - Suspected Pituitary Macro Tumor

Thanks angels,
It's so quiet without Buddy. :o He was always telling the birds off for invading his airspace or yapping at the parrot taunting him over the fence. He always had so much to say! Rosie is sweet and loving and totally agreeable. I haven't even heard her bark except for a little yip when we were playing. Buddy had a set of lungs on him and he would bark like a big dog. Rosie's little yip would totally embarrass him. I miss Buddy's personality. He was a huge presence in a little package.

Kathy:
I can imagine the void in your life without Buddy. He was just so adorable, and always doing remarkable things. I am sure the silence without his bark anymore is deafening. The reminders of little things in your every day life that Buddy did can be soothing, and at the same time heart wrenching. My heart goes out to you, as he was irreplaceable and always will be. I know you would give anything in the world to hear that bark one more time, as I would like wise give anything to open up this site and see a cute story about what Buddy was doing. You fall hard for these babies, and harder yet when they are no longer with us. Blessings
Patti

Hey Kathy, thanks for checking in on me, now my turn to check in on you :p Hope you're doing ok, missing Buddy awfully but taking some comfort in knowing he is happy and comfortable again. I'm glad to hear Rosie is doing so well and is such a little angel, they are so cute as pups. Enjoy your holiday time with her and celebrate your memories of Buddy, I'm sure he's up there going nuts at those Lizards.

Hey Kathy

Hi Mel,:)
You are very welcome for Tia's candle. That is the least I could do.:)
I hope you are doing okay.

I am doing about as well as can be expected. There will never be another Buddy and I'm having a hard time processing that, as he was one-of-a-kind. I did not have that instant connection with Rosie. She is very sweet and loving, but it is not the same.:o Buddy's smell has evaporated from his cuddle blanket and Froggy. I can't smell him anymore.:o

Big hugs my dear. Try not to work too hard. They don't deserve you!

I think that you have to take each hr as it comes till you can handle days. I am not really sure how I got to this point in time I just keep putting one foot in front of the other and hoping for the best.

Sorry his blanket has lost his smell I know that must have been a small comfort while you could still smell him, wish there was a way you could have preserved it

Sending you another hug

Kathy;
So sorry to hear that you cannot smell Buddy's scent on his blanket. What is taken for granted by others would be a small consolation to you now. I know you are having a hard time of things, and understand what you mean about Rosie. I think of you often. Blessings

Kathy, Thanks for always checking in to see how I am doing. I know you are feeling the pain too.
I'm sorry Buddy's blanket lost his smell.
I sleep holding Scoop's blanket and his little coat he wore when it was cold out. I always smell them but they don't smell like Scoop so I just hold them tight.
Hugs

Yes Vicki, there is strength to go on in numbers. We have an entire brigade of angels supporting us. I know how much you miss Scoop. Do whatever you need to get through. I cling to Buddy's cuddle blanket and stuffed frog, just like you do Scoop's things. You will get through this with support from all of us and I will too, but it takes time. Big hugs my dear,
