I'm so sad and feel like such a baby!
I visited my sister, who doesn't live near me. This particular visit was in the summer of 2005.
They were dog-sitting this old lab mutt. Their owners found him on their doorstep years prior. He was well trained, but could never find who he belonged to, so they kept him. His name is Buddy.
So I met him and he was so cute and sweet. He was feeling bad cause he wasn't in his home you know, but no one could explain to him. He did OK though, and was happy when his owners returned from their vacation.
He was an old dog. I think around 9 years? So I know that is getting on in the doggy years.
He was black with a white spot and kinda grayish looking. I know my sis had him bathed and nails cut. I guess the owners were lazy about it; however they did take pretty good care of him, and he was a happy dog. Inside mostly, loved his owners, they loved him too. I soooo wanted to take him home with me though!
So today my sister wrote me and told me they are putting him down today. I'm sure he's got problems, after all he's at least 11 now, if not close to 12 years of age.
I feel so sad, I started bawling! I still am as I write this! I see a dog for a few days nearly 2 years ago and it's making me so sad!!
I wonder if I'll get to see him at the bridge one day.
