[Dailydrool] buddydawg

it is with a very heavy heart that i tell you that Buddydawg has gone to 
rainbow bridge tonight...it was almost 9 years ago ath Dawn and Rich brought 
this wonderful bundle of fluff to meet me at a local diner...he jumped out of 
their van, ran over to where my daughter, grandaughter and i were standing, 
and rolled over for a bellyrub, and i knew he was mine, or, perhaps better 
said, that i was his...life with Buddy was always great and fun and filled 
with bellyrubs and lots of love...more recently, as his arthritis began to 
dominate his life more and more, we tried all kinds of meds, some specially 
ground for him, others like the s.o.d. boswelia and more recently the aquatran 
(i know i'm saying that wrong) two shots a week for a month...everything 
seemed to help a little bit, but slowly he would go down in back more and more 
frequently and need more and more help to get back up...this past weekend 
showed me that decision time was at hand...he hadn't eaten and only had a bit 
of water today, instead of bringing Bud to the vet for his shot, we went to 
talk to Dr. Luke...as usual, Dr.Luke got down on the floor with him and 
checked him over...his heart was just racing...and he couldn't support his own 
weight even with help...and we knew decision time was now...so with love and 
hugs and kisses and many tears from Dr. Luke and his staff, and a river 
from me, we let this never complaining, always wonderful precious boy slip out 
of his pain and off to the buffet...a parting gift from one of the vet tex 
was a peice of giardelli chocolate (it sure wasn't gonna hurt him now)...i 
guess i'll stop crying eventually...right now eventuallly seems a long time 
away...run free my precious boy...Rene'e
