Buddy was born on the 4th of July in 1991.
A fitting birthday for a wonderful dog.
He left us on October 4 2001.
Buddy was a gift from my son.
A rambunctious full of fun male Golden Retriever.
I did not think I could survive his puppy hood.
For those who have raised a Golden Retriever you will
know what I mean.
But in time this dog would make me laugh make me cry
and bring such happiness and joy to my life that when I had
to say good-bye it broke my heart.
I wrote a book about him to deal with my grief.
It helped.
For the brief ten years that we had him he worked his way
into our hearts and that is where he will
stay forever.
