Dear Liz, you and Buddy have not left my thoughts for a moment. Every chance I had today, I told the people I met of the beautiful, brave, GSD named Buddy and his devoted Mom who is so terribly sad. So many of us have been where you are right now, a place so empty and lonely and sad and we feel such empathy. Nothing can ease your pain right now. But we are here, and we understand every emotion you are feeling. I am sure Buddy is looking down on you right now, sending you his love. You are not alone. Please come talk to us whenever you need to. Hugs, Sandra
