I only have a few "people" in my life, I am disabled with MS and 27.
My husband is always there for me, as was his father. My other loves of my life are my furbabies, I have 4 rescues I fell in love with and adopted, and my Buddy was number 5 of our pack. He was a Catahoula I guess, he was abused a few years ago by some kids on summer break that were bored and decided to tie a rope around his neck and drag him around a trailer park tied to a motorcycle. His chest was raw and worn, and was dumped off out our local pound in Ohio I was volunteering at the time. I begged them to let me fix him up and find him a home. Well, I did get him as good as new, and 6 months later he came home with me. My husband and I loved him more than words. he was 6 years old now, and was hit by a speeding car on Sunday at 7:33PM. We did CPR on the way to the em. vet but his heart stopped halfway there. I pray he knew we were trying to save him---- and I pray that he knows how dearly he is missed, loved, and cherished. My father in law, whom loved Buddy as much as we did, passed on this afternoon (osteomylitis/septsis, UTI, pnemonia, heart failure, etc. etc. etc.) We cannot explain our hurt, loss, pain, and overall sick feeling at this time. I have not slept since Sunday when Buddy died, and now my father is gone. I just needed to let my feelings out, this site is wonderful. Am I the only one, or do other people realize that Catahoula dogs are, um, rather unique, intellectual, and have human-like qualities??? I have rescued over 600 dogs in the past few years, and I have never, ever ever met anyone like my Buddy, my furbaby. I cannot wait to see you again someday, please watch over grandpa, daddy and mommy until we see you again.
