Hello all. It is with great sadness that I tell you that Buddy was helped to cross the bridge on Thursday morning of last week. Even though my husband was away and I couldn't consult with him, Buddy was nearly comotos and very uncomfortable. I couldn't stand by any longer. He was our closterphobic rescue that went for walks with the dog, and was generally an all around sweety. He will be greatly missed, especially by my husband and his fuzzy friend Josie who also does not have long on this earth. Buddy was as near as we can figure, 8 years old, our oldest one yet. Bye Buddy. We love you. Yes, to top it off, I was laid-off last Friday. What a week this has been. Take care. Tryntje Miller. Give your fuzzy kids special loving every day. You never know how long they will be with you. [Posted in FML issue 2644]
