Buddy Lee was taken from us too soon. He would have been 9 years old 2 months after he passed. It has been over a year now, but I still become teary eyed when I think of my little guy.
Buddy came into our lives when he bit my ear as a puppy and I fell in love with him. He had a special personality. He thought everyone should hang out with him. As soon as you tried to leave he would bark and growl and kind of freak people out.
Harry and I would walk him and as soon as he felt like he walked far enough, he would plop down and look at me until I picked him up and carried him home ( yes, I am a sucker).
He started acting funny one day and his ears remained down. Took him to the vet and he had pancreatitis. He got better from the pancreatitis, but soon after, for reasons unknown, was diagnosed with liver failure.
We tried everything, and the vet could not understand how he was still even standing, his levels were that high. He still acted like Buddy which made it even harder to finally let him go.
We kept Buddy through the holiday, Christmas, New Years. He remained confortable and still loved to get treats, which we gave in abundence. My birthday was Feb 6th. Feb 8th, I slept with Buddy by my side for last time and on Feb 9th, we had to take Buddy in to let him go. Still acting like Buddy, it was the hardest thing I had to do, but there was nothing else the doctor could do from him and his abdomen was becoming tight.
We brought Buddy home and buried him and for the next 3 days ( thank goodness I was off work for those days) I stayed in bed and mourned my dogs passing.
Thank goodness I still had Bouncer and Bootsy, but Buddy is still sorely missed. Bouncer and Bootsy mourned in their own way, but are back to being their normal selves, although sometimes they still sleep on Buddies big pillow or go into his cage and hang out.
Pictures remind me of my baby boy and my husband and I will always love and miss our Polmeranian. I will never have another Polmeranian. I don’t think it would be fair for the dog, because I would always be comparing it to my buddy.
I know you are resting now, but I still miss you so.
