Buddy is Gone

[Freedom]

What a beautiful smile he has in that tribute photo. Buddy loved, and was loved, and truly that is what matters MOST. He surely wouldn't want you to be all caught up in this mind whirling endless search for answers. Only an autopsy 'may' have found you any answers. I repeat, MAY. You had some wonderful fun times with him and he with all of you.

It is a challenge, when they pass suddenly and unexpectedly, and when you find them as you did. Somehow, you need to think back to the BEFORE. Looking at photos may help, perhaps.

RIP Buddy. {{HUGS}} to all of you.

Please don't torment yourself you gave buddy love before he went to the bridge and please don't close your heart to another dog.

RIP cutie, play hard at the bridge.

please don't close your heart to another dog.

As long as I am a renter, I feel it would be unfair to the dog. We had to give up a dog because we couldn't find a place to live. I don't ever want to go through that again. I would love to have another dog, but not until we own a house. We are moving again, to get back to the area we were forced to leave after the fire - while it is pet friendly, and we have a lease, I will still just be a cat owner.

Place nice at the Rainbow Bridge Buddy!

Now, do not beat yourself up over not being there when he died. Knowing how often dogs try to hide symptoms and illness from us, he may have "waited" for you both to be out or been glad you didn't have to see that.

And know that he is not really gone, he is there with you, inside your heart, where his terrier grin will be when you most need it.

I am so sorry to hear about Buddy's passing. He looked like such a happy pup and I am sure he brought you and your family so much joy.

Please do not blame yourself. You loved him when his previous owner gave up on him....remember that. He loved you the same, I can see it in his eyes.

Run hard on that Rainbow Bridge, sweet Buddy....I am sure Lady-Baby is showing you the ropes.

i am so sorry to read about your loss. buddys' picture shows an amazingly happy dog. please show all of these comments to your husband and daughter when you and they are ready. i have a well loved dog, alex, who has bad seizures. sometimes all the love and medical care cannot, willnot change this disease. please don't beat yourself or tim up. i know and truly believe that once the last seizure started, our bridge angels came for buddy. you cannot blame yourself, his terrier spirit was already crossing the bridge. play hard buddy, i know angel duke has already taken you to the gravy river and shown you where the peanut butter bone bush is. i am so sorry
