He went to sleep peacefully on his bed at home. The time was right and I am at peace with that. I have nothing but happy memories. I felt it was right to bring Matron out from behind the keyboard just this once to share my favourite photo. Buddy had just won the James Bond K9 007 fancy dress competition at the RSPCA fundog show at Pinewood Studios. Our proudest moment. Thank you all for your kind wishes.

ReplyDeleteSo,so sorry to hear this. It's never an easy time when you lose someone and to lose a beloved doggie companion is just as hard. I still miss all of my old doggie friends that have sadly departed - all the way from childhood up to having my own dogs as an adult but I like to think of them all running about together up there in Doggy Heaven having a whale of a time! As many bones and balls as they could every wish for up there!!
ReplyDeleteRest In Peace Buddy
From a loyal reader and salmon pea recipient: I'm ever so sorry for your loss. We'll all miss Buddy!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Matron...for the length of time I've known you and Buddy I knew there was a close bond between you...he was a special K-9 and I know he rests peacefully now...looking forward to the time you can be together again! A beautiful photo of the two of you, a happy memory!
ReplyDeleteBless him x
ReplyDeletekeep your chin up
Best wishes

ReplyDeleteI'm so so sorry to hear of your loss, Matron. Buddy was a very special dog who will be very sorely missed, especially in blogland. Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteOh, Matron. I'm so sorry. We're so lucky for the time we spend with our four-legged companions; there is no better example of unconditional love than that which Buddy showed you. I'm going to go give my dog an extra big hug and we'll offer up some thoughts to Buddy.

ReplyDeleteJust caught up with your blog and so sorry to hear the sad news. Rest in peace, Buddy.
ReplyDeleteLike many others it seems I've been a "lurker", merrily reading and enjoying your blog for ages now. Not been up to date for a while and catching up today and reading your post about Buddy made me cry. A bit past the event now, but I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry Matron we loved reading about Buddy.
ReplyDeleteWe too are sad because our older golden retriever Tara died in January she would have been 15 soon.
Tara and Niki always had their photo on your Doggy Day Blog.
We and Niki still miss her.
Peace be with us all.
