Buddy, The Mighty Lizard Hunter - Suspected Pituitary Macro Tumor

Just a quick note to tell everybody that Kathy has emailed us, notifying us that she is having problems with logging onto the site. She and Rosie are fine, and will be back on the forum just as soon as the computer issue is solved.

Marianne;
Thanks for letting us know so we aren't worried about her and Rosie. Blessings

I'm back!!!The forum fairies have decided to let me log on now. I haven't had a chance to read through any posts yet. I am hoping to catch up on those tomorrow. :D Hugs,

Hi Angels,
It has been almost six weeks since I set Buddy free. I have been wanting to start a memory thread for him. Every time I start to think about what I want to say, I end up crying my heart out once again and can't continue.

Marianne asked if I would share how Buddy came into my life. I can't even do that yet.

Rosie is the sweetest, easiest and most agreeable puppy I have ever known. She's smart, listens and learns quickly, always aiming to please. I hit the jackpot with her. She even has the old folks wrapped around her little paws. Not bad for seniors who didn't want another dog. I think she has an old soul, as she is wise beyond her age. The problem is that she's not Buddy and I still want him. I thought I was done sitting up half the night crying about Buddy. I guess not, because it's 1:30 AM and here I am again. :(

Ah Kathy, I am so very sorry you are having such a difficult time. I wish there was something I could do or say to make you feel better, but none of us truly knows how the other one feels, especially when it comes to our pets.

I am glad though you are enjoying Rosie, and although she will never re-place Buddy, she will bring her own little style with her to help you along the way.

I truly hope that each day for you can be just a little easier to get through, and someday when you think of Buddy it will replace the tears with a huge smile.

Many hugs to you.

Judi & Keesh

Hello Kathy

Just wanted to give you a hug, I know how tough these weeks have been on you and how much you miss Buddy.

I am glad Rosie has got the folks around her little finger, at least you don't have to worry about that.

There are no words I can use to take away the pain, just wanted you to know I am here so you are not alone

Big hug, love
Mel

It is so hard to lose one of the best friends we will ever have. I will pray for buddy and his. There will be a time when the first thing you think if is the funny things buddy did and all the years and smile. And still miss him.
I got chelle two weeks after I lost tammy. I have now had her nearly 12 months. She is as amazing a dog as tam was but she isn't tam she's chelle. The only thing her and tam have in common is picking on poor old tommy.

Awww stink Kathy, sorry I was not here much tonight. Few of the other night owls are though :) Well not Mel, she is an early owl :) Hope you got some sleep and that little minx Rosie can cheer you up in the morning xxx

Kathy:
Not being able to write about Buddy is totally understandable. I know your heart aches for him, and that Rosie will never fill that void. Buddy was such a star, and the brightest star in your universe. Buddy was all yours and always will be in your heart. I am so sorry this had to happen to you, I think of your Buddy every time I look at Toby, and a sadness comes over me. Funny thing, they were going to do away with Toby because he would not hold his ears up. Well the past 2 weeks he started to put his ears up a few times a day. Isn't it ironic that somebody could get rid of a puppy for such a reason, and all of us would do anything to keep our babies with us as long as possible? Shows how little value some people have of animals lives. The complete opposite is found on here though. As I told Vicki once, I too will walk in your shoes one day, so my thoughts and prayers are always with you and precious Buddy. Blessings

Sending big hugs to your from me and Woody, keeping you in our thoughts :o
